For new Landscape users (or those who need a refresher) here's list of knowledge base articles in an order we think will help you become proficient with the software. We strongly recommend that you go through the workflow of each article yourself in Landscape using test or actual records.
If you deal primarily with project management but not with property stewardship, you can probably skip sections 3 and 5, and you'll probably want to do a deeper dive into the Projects section of the Knowledge Base. If you deal primarily with stewardship, it's best to focus on Stewardship Sites, understanding the app and monitoring workflow, and mapping. You should still have some knowledge of how Projects work in case you want to integrate them into your workflow.
