Getting started

Onboarding guide: from first tenant to active community.

This guide covers the setup journey for a CityMoo pilot, from tenant creation to active participation by residents, moderators, and content managers.

1. First tenant setup

A platform or tenant administrator creates the pilot tenant, registers the domain or community slug, configures the first administrator, and confirms the legal and privacy settings for the pilot context.

  • Create tenant
  • Set community name and domain
  • Assign first admin
  • Confirm privacy settings

2. Invite your team

Tenant admins invite colleagues and assign role-based access. Roles can include administrator, moderator, volunteer administrator, content manager, and resident.

  • Invite by email
  • Assign role
  • User signs in
  • Role is applied

3. Prepare the community

Content managers configure categories, publish a welcome topic, create an initial poll, and prepare examples so first users see an active and understandable space.

  • Create categories
  • Publish welcome topic
  • Launch poll
  • Add example issue

4. Run moderation responsibly

Moderators review reports, flagged content, and sensitive submissions. Each pilot should define response targets, escalation paths, and rules for harmful or illegal content.

  • Review queues
  • Set escalation rules
  • Apply community rules
  • Document decisions

5. Invite residents

Residents install the mobile app, sign in, join their local community, and start reporting, discussing, voting, volunteering, and following updates.

  • Install app
  • Create account
  • Join community
  • Participate

6. Measure and improve

Administrators use analytics to review participation, issue resolution trends, poll engagement, and volunteer sign-ups, then adapt communication and response workflows.

  • Monitor engagement
  • Review response times
  • Export reports
  • Improve pilot operations
