# Rolling out the app to your team

> Bring your team onto the Levelset app in order: get the store ready, turn it on for leaders, let them run a few shifts, then invite everyone and watch who has joined

The **Levelset app** works best when the first people who open it find it useful. Roll it out in four steps: get the store ready, give it to your leaders, let them use it for a week or two, then invite everyone. Your leaders are the ones your team will ask for help, so they should know the app before anyone else.

## 1. Get the store ready

Work through [Get your store ready for the Levelset app](https://docs.levelset.io/guides/app-readiness.md) first, at every store. Its checklist is on the dashboard's **Home** page, and the required items must be done at every store before your organization can turn on **Invite your team to the Levelset app**. If a store isn't ready, the switch says which items are still open, store by store.

Invites go to email, so the most common thing missing is email addresses: a team member with no email can't be invited.

## 2. Turn it on for your leaders

The app is turned on for a whole role at once on **People > Team & Access > Roles**, once Levelset has turned rollout on for your organization; email [support@levelset.io](mailto:support@levelset.io) when you're ready.

1. Tick **App** on your leader roles only, for example Team Lead and Director (use your own).
2. Switch on **Invite your team to the Levelset app**.

Every active person in those roles gets an email invite, or has the app turned on if they already have a login. To give it to one person instead, switch on **Levelset app** in their panel on the **Access** tab. See [Invite a whole role to the app](https://docs.levelset.io/team/roles.md#invite-a-whole-role-to-the-app) and [Turn on the Levelset app for someone](https://docs.levelset.io/team/access.md#turn-on-the-levelset-app-for-someone).

Ask each leader to install the app, from the App Store on an iPhone or, on Android, from [app.levelset.io/download/android](https://app.levelset.io/download/android) after signing in to the dashboard, then sign in and set their clock-in PIN, using [Getting started with the app: leaders](https://docs.levelset.io/guides/app-leaders.md).

## 3. Let leaders run a few shifts

Give your leaders a week or two with the app before inviting anyone else. In that time they should rate from the app, file from **+**, run the setup from the **Setup** tab and close out a daypart with a debrief. Anything they find empty points back to a step in [Get your store ready](https://docs.levelset.io/guides/app-readiness.md). If your store has a store iPad, enroll it in **Kiosk Mode**, the Levelset app running on a store iPad shared by the whole store, where each person signs in with their clock-in PIN. Until team members are invited and have the app on, their PINs don't sign them in, so on the iPad they can tally only goals that anyone can tally.

## 4. Invite everyone

When your leaders are comfortable, tick **App** on the rest of your roles, for example Team Member and Trainer. With the switch already on, ticking a role invites it straight away, and anyone hired into one of those roles later is invited when they're added, if HotSchedules brought in their email; anyone added by hand with **Add Team Member** has no email, so on the **Access** tab add their email, click **Invite** to give them a login, and then switch on **Levelset app** for them; see [Invite a team member](https://docs.levelset.io/team/access.md#invite-a-team-member). Share [Getting started with the app: team members](https://docs.levelset.io/guides/app-team-members.md) with your team.

## Watch who has joined

Under the switch, a line counts the result, for example **12 invited, 4 turned on, 3 need an email.**, followed by anyone who couldn't be set up and why. "Need an email" means the team member has no email address: add one and invite them from the **Access** tab; see [Invite a team member](https://docs.levelset.io/team/access.md#invite-a-team-member).

On the **Access** tab, the **Status** column shows each person's progress: **Invited** while their invite email is unused, **Active on app** once the app is on for them and they've signed in on a phone that allowed notifications, and **Active on dashboard** for any other working login, including someone signed in on the app who didn't allow notifications. See [Access](https://docs.levelset.io/team/access.md#read-the-list).

## Keep it working

* **Import the schedule every week.** The app's **My Schedule** and the setup read the week from HotSchedules, and nothing imports it on its own. See [Import the week from HotSchedules](https://docs.levelset.io/schedule/overview.md#import-the-week-from-hotschedules).
* **Keep setup templates current** when the store's day changes, so the **Setup** tab matches the floor.
* **Turning the switch off** stops new invites; nobody who already has the app loses it. To take the app from one person, switch off **Levelset app** in their panel.
