1. Co-op Manager basics

Welcome to the AgUnity Co-op Manager’s Beta release 0.6.

The goal of the Co-op Manager is to allow farmer and fisher cooperatives to manage member, organisation and staff data, manage transactions, and provide services to their members simply and securely. This early release has only member and certification management features.

Explore and use the Co-op Manager's features using the menu items in the left and top menu bars, and refer to this document for help when needed.

If you see a feature described in this document that you don’t see in the Co-op Manager, it is likely because you do not have the proper license or system permissions to use the feature. Please speak to your local system administrator for clarification.

We'll be adding new features and expanding this help section regularly, so come back often to see how the Co-op Manager is evolving to meet your needs. Please use the feedback feature to let us know if there are features you'd like to see in future releases.
