Overview

As a first time VIVO user, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the interface, learn how VIVO stores data, consider options for configuring VIVO, and learn how to create user accounts in VIVO.

...

In this section we provide an exercise regarding example sample data.  You can load the example sample data into your VIVO, explore the interface, and learn how the example sample data is stored.  When you are finished with the example sample data, you can restore your VIVO to its "firsttime" state.  From there you can review the configuration options, choose options best suited for your VIVO, and then create user accounts.  You will then be ready to begin loading your data into your VIVO, providing your institution with data for finding experts and representing their scholarship.
