Shireburn Academy (BETA): our on-demand learning platform
Ready for online learning? Over the past few months, we have been hard at work to develop the Shireburn Academy, our on-demand video collection with tutorials about using the Indigo Suite.
The Academy is perfect for new or novice users of the Indigo Suite, where viewers can learn how to use Indigo's functionalities.
The BETA version of the Academy includes video lessons and instructions on how to use Indigo Payroll, including getting to know how to use Indigo, setting up employee profiles, managing leave, running payrolls, and utilising the Employee Portal. The player will save your progress, allowing you to return to where you left off at anytime.
You can access the Academy through the help link in your Indigo platform as shown above, or by following this link.
More video on practices and functionalities both advanced and basic are in the works, so stay tuned!
Happy learning!
