Setting Up Your DADO Account

Before using DADO, you'll need to create an account. First, check your email inbox for an email from noreply@projectdado.com with a subject of "Create your DADO Account".

NOTE: If you cannot find this email, check your email's spam folder, or reach out to a DADO administrator at your company and request an invitation to DADO. 

Copy the Temporary Password provided in this email by pressing and holding on the text, then tapping "Copy". Next, open DADO on the device. Tap "Login", then supply your email address and the temporary password in the Login form. Next, supply a permanent password and complete your user profile.


Getting to your Project

In DADO, documents live inside of Projects, so all of the work that you will be doing in DADO will be within these Projects. After logging in, you will be presented with a list of companies. Most users only belong to one company. Tap the company to view the projects that you've been given access to.

Tap a project to find its documents, create binders, and fill out forms. All of these actions are performed within the context of the project you opened.

NOTE: If you cannot locate the Company or Project that you are looking for, reach out to your DADO administrator for help. You must be invited to Companies and Projects by a DADO administrator in order to access them.
