This quick start is perfect for admins who wish to set up their company with Affinity for compliance training and management. In only 5 minutes you'll be set up on a free plan to explore all of Affinity's features.
Then verify your email address and take just 1 minute to fill out your organizations details.
Organization Name
Your contact details (name, email, role)
Click Create
After you click create, you will be ready to go!
Note: You don't need to set up any billing details to create your organization. All organizations are enrolled in our free tier by default. You can try out the plan with 1 user and then subscribe to a paid plan when ready. If you have more than 50 learners, contact us about plan customization.
Step 2: Assigning a training
Next, go to the training library and find a training you'd like to assign to your organization. Our trainings will fit all of your needs, from bank sponsor onboarding to compliance management rigor. Find one of interest, like AML/BSA and then:
You'll see a notification that you have a new training and can switch to your Learner role to check it out.
Assigning many different trainings at once? Check out our Campaigns feature where you can group trainings and learners together easily for reporting and administration purposes.
Step 3: Making a rule
Rules and schedules help you manage and automate your workflows. They're not necessary, but are highly recommended.
You could try making a recurring schedule that automatically assigns the training from Step 2 to all new employees you add to your organization.
Step 4: Inviting your team
To invite teammates to your plan, navigate to the Learners tab and click the add button to start adding employees. You'll follow the instructions on that page and each employee will receive an invite to begin as a learner of your organization.
You can add learners on a 1x1 basis or in bulk.
Note: Plans are limited to 1 Seat until you provide billing and enroll in a plan that supports a higher maximum. We're happy to talk through plan options customized for you - including Okta and HRIS integrations.
Step 5: Export a Report
Lastly, let's export a report. On every page, you will find an "Export" button or a "Report" button to generate a report of interest. It's one of Affinity's biggest value props to make reporting easy.
For this guide, navigate to the "Reporting" tab and choose one of the two default reports to try out. Note: You'll want to have had your learner assigned a training in order for data to show up in the report.
Step 6: You're done!
That's it! In a few minutes, you've explored how easy it is to set up and manage your organization with Affinity.

New Learner Quick Start
This quick start is for new learners to the Affinity platform. It will walk you through the initial steps of finalizing your account to taking your firs training.
Step 1: Check email for invite
Your company administrator will have invited you with your company email address. Affinity sends out a welcome email detailing registration instructions.
Once you've received the email that you've been invited, navigate to https://app.itsaffinity.com to "Register"
Step 2: Register your account
Click on the Register button and choose one of the authentication options:
SSO
Email and Password
We recommend SSO when possible as it will automatically verify your email address and enable one-click sign-in.
If you choose email and password, you will also need to verify your email address. An email is sent to you from our authentication service asking you to click a link proving you own this email address. After you click the link, you will be able to sign in to your Learner Dashboard.
Your learner dashboard will show you all of your trainings and their different statuses. Generally, as a new learner, you will see trainings in the "Assigned Courses" tab.
When you're ready to complete a training, click on the training of interest to begin or continue. Your progress will be tracked and updated automatically and reported back to your company admin.
Step 4: Complete a training
After you click on a training, it will load and you can begin completing it.
Note: you can always open a training in a new window if you have certain browser security settings that require this option.
Step 5: Need any help?
If you need any assistance, you can utilize our support box in the bottom right of every page. Fill in the required information and we will help you as soon as we can.
