Getting started

Signing in, finding your way around, and your first shift on ARC.

Accept your invite Anyone

Turning the invitation email into an ARC account, and what to do if the link has expired.

Complete your staff profile Anyone in the home

Why ARC holds you at your profile before letting you into a home, and which parts only your employer can finish.

Finding your way around ARC Anyone

What sits where in the sidebar, and why some sections don't appear for you.

Search across the home Anyone in the home

One search box across children, incidents, concerns, plans and notifications — showing only what you already have access to.

Notifications Anyone

What ARC tells you about, where it appears, and why it is never the only way something reaches you.

Sign in with your email code Anyone

ARC has no password. You enter your email, we send a 6-digit code, and you're in.

Switch between homes Anyone

If you work across more than one home, how to move between them — and why one might be missing from the list.

Use ARC on your phone Anyone

The mobile surface, what it covers, and how to dictate a note instead of typing it.

What you can see, and why Anyone

ARC has no single 'role'. Four separate things decide what you can reach — which is why two people with the same job title can see different screens.

What's new in ARC Anyone in the home

Where to read what has changed in each release, and why some people are shown it when they sign in and others see a marker.
