Install and configure the onboarding wizard

Before you can run the onboarding wizard to set up your Skedulo environment, you need to have the managed package correctly installed and configured in your Salesforce org.

If you have a new Salesforce org, you may need to do this manually. The link to the latest Skedulo managed package can be found in the Skedulo Package Release Notes.

Use the following procedures to install the package in your new Salesforce org and correctly configure your user profile before you start the onboarding wizard.
