Getting Started with SiteView

What to set up first in SiteView — company profile, team, your first client, estimate, and invoice — so the app is useful on day one.

Who can use this
Owners and admins. Everyone else can follow along once they're invited.
What the client sees
Nothing is client-visible until you send an estimate, portal link, or invoice.

Before you start

  • A SiteView login
  • Your company logo and business details handy

Set up your company

  1. Open Settings → Company. Add your business name, logo, address, phone, and email — these appear on estimates and invoices.
  2. In Settings → Estimates, set your default markup or target margin and tax rate so you don't set them on every line.
  3. In Settings → Invoices, set your default payment terms.

Invite your team

For: Owner, Admin

  1. Go to Settings → Team and invite each person by email.
  2. Assign a role so permissions match what they actually do.
  3. Ask them to accept the invite email and set a password.

Run your first job end to end

  1. Add a client from Clients → New Client, including the project address.
  2. Create an estimate from Estimates → New Estimate, add sections and line items, and save.
  3. Send the estimate. Your client reviews and approves with an e-signature from any device.
  4. On approval, SiteView creates the project so you can start project costing.
  5. Log expenses as work happens, then invoice from the approved estimate.

Put it on the truck

  • SiteView runs in the browser — nothing to download.
  • On a phone, use Add to Home Screen for one-tap access and push notifications.

Troubleshooting

A teammate never got the invite email.

Ask them to check spam, then resend the invite from Settings → Team. Invites expire, so a fresh one usually fixes it.

Your logo looks cropped on PDFs.

Use a square logo on a transparent or white background and re-upload in Settings → Company.
