FAQS:
1. How does this show to employees?
Employees will see two screens. A first screen with the welcome message, followed by a second screen that explains how Firstbase works.
Screen 1: Welcome message
Screen 2: How does Firstbase work?
2. What is the logic for the welcome message to show to employees?
The welcome message will show if:
- The "Display Welcome Screen" option has been enabled in "Settings - Welcome Message"
- An Employee has not seen welcome message previously.
- The Employee is a basic user (not an admin).
- All new employees added to Firstbase will see it.
3. Will someone see it more than once?
No. An employee should only see the message once the first time they log-in to the app.
4. Can I add a different welcome message for different employees.
Not yet. This will be available in future iterations.
5. Can I customize font colors, text?
Not yet. This will be available in future iterations.
6. Can I embed a link?
Yes. However, it can only be added as a text string (not a hyperlink). For example:
"Welcome to Firstbase! Visit this Link: https://www.firstbase.com"
