# Login and First Steps

> Sign in to your workspace with your email and a one time code, then explore the dashboard for the first time.

## What It Is

The login flow brings you into your organization workspace. PANTA OS uses a passwordless sign in: you enter your work email, receive a one time code (OTP) in your inbox, and enter the code in the browser. There is no separate password to set or remember.

The first session is short by design. Sign in, see the dashboard, send one message, and pick out one assistant to keep using. The goal is comfort with the layout, not a comprehensive tour.

## Why It Matters

The first five minutes shape how a user works with PANTA OS for the long term. A clean start covers three things.

  <Card title="Easy entry" icon="key">
    Email and a code is faster than creating yet another password. The flow is the same the second time and every time after.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Real first interaction" icon="message-square">
    Sending one prompt and reading one response builds intuition faster than reading a manual.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Orientation" icon="map">
    By the end of the first session, the user knows where the Dashboard, chats, assistants, and Library live.

## Sign In

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your workspace URL" icon="globe">
    Visit `{subdomain}.pantaflows.com`, where the subdomain is the one your organization has configured (for example `company.pantaflows.com`). Your administrator can tell you the exact URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your email" icon="mail">
    Type the work email address that your administrator has added to the workspace. Submit the form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your inbox for the code" icon="inbox">
    PANTA OS sends a one time code (OTP) to your email address. The code is short lived; request a new one if it does not arrive within a minute or two.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code" icon="key">
    Paste or type the code into the sign in screen. After confirming, you land on the Dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  No sign in possible? Your administrator may not have added your email to the workspace yet. Send them the address you want enabled.

## Your First Five Minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Send one chat message" icon="message-square">
    Click New Chat in the sidebar, or type into the central chat input on the Dashboard. Ask a real question to get a feel for response speed and tone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Browse the Dashboard grid" icon="layout-grid">
    The grid lists the assistants and apps available to you. Use the tabs (All, Assistants, Workflows, Tools, Favorites) and the tag row above the grid to narrow the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try one assistant" icon="bot">
    Open an assistant your team has built and run one of its Quick start actions. The pre filled prompts are the fastest path to seeing what the assistant does well.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Heart what you will reuse" icon="heart">
    Use the heart action on assistants or apps you expect to use again. The Favorites tab in the Dashboard grid and the History will then surface them in one click.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your preferences" icon="settings">
    Open Settings at the bottom of the sidebar. Stay on General to switch between German and English or turn on dark mode. Open Profile to set your display name.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips and Best Practices

* Start from existing assistants rather than building new ones. The Dashboard grid shows what your team has already published; reuse first, build second.
* Star sparingly. Three to five favorites are more useful than twenty; the value is filtering, not collecting.
* Set the language on day one. The choice between German and English follows your account, so you only do this once.
* Tell your administrator if an assistant for your role is missing. Anyone in the workspace can build one, but a request to the right person speeds it up.

<Tip>
  After the first session, the next page worth opening is [Dashboard and navigation](/platform/getting-started/dashboard-and-navigation). It covers the layout in detail.
