📘 Instruction: How to set your default Organization

Users with access to multiple Organizations may want to set their default to a specific Organization that they prefer to start in. This can be accomplished with the following steps:

1. Ensure you are in the Organization that you want to become your default Organization (by using the Organization navigation item)

2. When the Organization list appears, click “Set as Default” next to your current Organization

3. To change this at any future time, simply repeat steps 1 and 2

4. The next time you login to NimbleStory you will be taken directly to your default Organization

Please use screen shots and short videos to convey information, people don’t want to read a wall of text to figure something out.
