Here we explain how to access and manage your tasks in your new project board.
Overview
When you join Elite, we will create a dedicated project board for you in our chosen project management platform, ClickUp. Once created, we will send you an invite to join the board. As this is a manual process, it may take up to one business day, but we endeavour to do this much quicker.
JOINING YOUR PROJECT BOARD
Your project board invite will be sent by email with the subject line, "Elite invited you to ClickUp." Open the email and click on the Accept Invite button.
If you do not already have an account with ClickUp, you'll be prompted to create one. After entering your name and selecting a password, you'll be taken to ClickUp's personalised onboarding process. Once you have answered a few questions, you'll be taken to your ClickUp dashboard.
CONFIGURING YOUR CLICKUP ACCOUNT
When you first visit your ClickUp account dashboard, it will look something like this:
However, ClickUp gives you a number of options to personalise your experience to make it a joy and delight to behold, every time you use the platform to administer your tasks and projects. For example, when you hover over the sidebar, you'll see a cog appear at the top that reveals several options:
Once you're happy with those settings, you may wish to add your own profile picture, to make yourself really feel part of the team. You can do that by clicking on the current avatar in the bottom left hand corner, which reveals these options:
To change your avatar, click on My Settings and then on the existing avatar, and you'll see the option to Add Custom Avatar. Click that and follow the instructions. You'll also find a whole host of other personalisation options in this area, which you can tweak to your hearts content.
If you're going to be making good use of your Team plan (and we strongly recommend that you do!), then you may also want to consider downloading the relevant ClickUp app.

While this article should give you some useful pointers on getting started, that are contextually relevant to setting up your Elite plan, ClickUp has a wealth of information that will help to better understand the platform and the various customization options.
