How to Get Started

This guide is for maritime companies who have a new Martide account and who want to know how to get started using our platform to make maritime recruitment and crew planning easier.

First of all, log into your Martide account.

How to check your profile information

When you're logged in, the first thing you want to do is to check whether your personal profile information is correct. Click the circle with your initials in it and then on your name in the drop down menu. You will see this page:

Here you can:

• Upload a profile picture or your company logo by clicking the camera icon.
• Enter or edit your personal info including your name and position, and set your time zone using the drop down menu. Click the pen icon to edit this section.

How to add your company’s information

Next you’ll want to add information about your company. To do that click My Company in the menu on the left hand side of the screen. You will go to this page:

At the top you'll see headings: 

Depending on what your company does, you will see different headings at the top. In our example, we are a crew manager/employer and here you'll see 6 headings: Roles, Details, Logo, About Us, Offices and Vessel Types. If you click on a heading it will take you down the page to that section.

Note that there are other sections on the page but the headings will take you down to the main ones.

The page will be blank at first and you will need to fill in your information. We will take you through the employer version below but the basics of filling in info are the same for all companies.

To edit a section, click the pen icon on the top right of each section

In the Roles section you will see:

How to create User Accounts for your team

Now you’re set up in the system you might want to start delegating by letting your coworkers log in. Here’s how.

To create additional logins for your coworkers click Settings in the menu under your profile picture side and select User Accounts:

That will take you to this page:

Here you can:

• Look for Users in the search bar at the top.
• Invite Users / coworkers to the platform by clicking the Add User Account button.
• See the Users that you've invited and are still waiting to respond and your current Users.
• Remind invited users that you're waiting for them to join by clicking the envelope icon. This will send them a reminder email.
• Edit and delete current Users and delete invited Users.
• Sort invited and current Users by A-Z or Z-A by clicking the arrows next to Name, Email and Role.
