Do This First

The first time you log in to Alma, do these two things right away. They'll improve your experience of using Alma.

1. Always show current location

The location you set will change the options you see and the actions you can take in Alma. Always showing that location lets you see at a glance if you're set to the right location for the work you're doing.

Click on the location icon in the upper-right bar of navigational icons
Select Always show current location

2. Widgets

Add two widgets to your home page. You might choose to add other widgets later, but these two will be important to working in Alma.

Click on the plus sign near the upper-right corner of the screen
Select Tasks and Notifications

Click on the X in the upper right corner of this dialogue box, or hit the ESC key to close the box. You're all set.
