Getting Started In The Vortex

Jan 31

Learning to use a new platform can be a bit overwhelming at first, however, we’ve got you covered! We’ll briefly explore how to navigate between the different pages of The Vortex, use some of the basic features, and cover some important tips and tricks to get you rollin’ smoothly.

After Signing Up

Accessing The Vortex

Upon entering The Vortex for the first time, you will be automatically redirected to your personalized Dashboard where you will see your Account panel open by default.

In your Account panel, you can see your purchased ‘Digital Products’. In this case, the Achievers Vortex.

Below the Achievers Vortex product name you will find a ‘Pages’ menu with the main pages in the platform, the Dashboard, Performance Lab, Achievers Hub and Perks.

You can click on any of the page names at any time to be redirected to your desired page.

Login To The Vortex

To login to your account in the future, click on ‘Member Login’ at the top of your screen (desktop), or by clicking the ‘+’ icon on your phone, then click ‘Member Login’. Once you enter your account login information, your account panel will open automatically. Next, find the Achievers Vortex card and click ‘View’ to be redirected to your Dashboard.

Logout Of The Vortex

To logout of your account, navigate to your account panel by clicking ‘Account’ at the top of your screen (desktop), or by clicking the ‘+’ icon on your phone, then click ‘Account’. Next, click the ‘Account Settings’ button. Under your name at the top of the panel, click ‘sign out’.

Manage Your Account

Towards the bottom of your Account panel you will see a button titled ‘Account Settings’.

Click this button and you will be presented with your personal account information including the name you registered with, your payment methods, your billing address, and more.

Click on any of these tabs to manage your information. For example, if you would like to change your account name, email address or password, you can do so by clicking on the ‘Profile’ tab.

You can always revisit your Account panel anytime by clicking the ‘Account’ button at the top of the page or inside of the ‘+’ menu on your smartphone.

Exploring your Dashboard

Your Dashboard is comprised of various ‘cards’ which display personalized information and resources for your convenience.

Each card serves a different purpose, and some include different functionalities.

For example, you can change your profile emoji in the Profile card, complete monthly challenges in the Challenges card, see a snapshot of our most recent training module in the Explore card, and sign up for upcoming events in the Events card.

You can learn more about the specific features of your Dashboard by viewing our ‘Explore The Dashboard’ guide (COMING SOON).

Switching Between Pages

The Vortex is comprised of four main pages, each with their own unique feel, purpose, and user experience.

You can switch to a different page via your Account panel, via the ‘Navigation Bar’ towards the bottom of your screen, or via the ‘Achievers Vortex’ dropdown menu at the top of your screen (click the ‘+’ icon on your smartphone).

You may have noticed that there is one more icon in the Navigation Bar, the ‘Rocket’ icon. This button opens the AQR Assist widget, our custom-made AI Chatbot to assist you in your training development.
