Learn more about Teams

Quantum MX's Team concept helps you isolate the data and access for distinct segments of your business. Initially you should configure one team that will cover all of your operations. You may create up to three teams if your business has distinct segments or locations, for example: A&P + Instrument Repair Station, A&P locations at two airports.

1. Click Settings, Teams, Create a Team
2. Complete the team information form and click the Create Team button.
3. As your mechanics, customers, and users sign up to your QMX cloud, you can control their access to information by adding or removing them from your team.

4. Upload your Team Logo

A company logo may be added to your team profile. This logo will replace the Quantum MX logo for branding on Quantum MX generated documents (e.g. invoice, estimate, logbook entries, work order documents).
1. Browse to your team page: click Settings, Teams, then click Edit next to your team.
2. Assign your team logo in the Upload Photo section of the team editing form.

The team logo will be used when Quantum MX generates PDF logbook entries and work order documents.

5. Create your Mechanic Certificate

1. If you are a maintainer, you should add your mechanic certificate information. Click your name in the upper-right corner of the screen with the gear icon and then click Edit Profile.
2. Click the Add a Mechanc Cert link.
3. Complete the new Mechanic Cert form and save.

TIP: The mechanic cert record is required for the user to access the work order time keeping functions. Create a cert record for apprentices, helpers or other staff using a cert number and type that is representative of their function.
