Here is a list of the things to focus on to get started with Generations.

- And don't forget, Generations support is just a click away to answer any of your questions via Live Chat.
- You may also want to look at the Implementation Plan for a handy checklist.

Configure Your Browser
Be sure your browser is configured properly to optimize your experience of working with Generations:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari
- Google Chrome
Often we find that agencies want to add schedules on the very first day of training or shortly thereafter. While this is certainly possible, you must have the following items established to add a schedule in Generations:
- Billing Rates
- Clients
- Payroll Items
- Caregivers and Pay Rates
