Welcome to Athennian, we’re excited you’re here!

Getting to know a new piece of technology can be intimidating and frustrating. That's why we're constantly working hard to ensure that our Help Center provides many help articles and training materials. 

If along the way you have any questions you come across that you can’t find the answer in the Athennian Help Centre, please message the Athennian Support Team.  You can reach us via:

  • Click on the Help or Owl icon in the bottom left-hand corner of Athennian
  • This will open the Resource Center
  • Select Support Request and fill in the form that appears

To get started, make sure you're using the Google Chrome web browser as this is the browser that is recommended by Athennian for the smoothest experience. 

Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first thing you will see when you open up the Entity Manager application. On the Dashboard, you will find the following:

  • Entities: A list of the most recent entities you've worked in
  • Documents: A list of the most recent documents you've opened
  • Tasks: A list of the overdue or upcoming tasks for all of the entities across the database
  • Help Center: A hyperlink to our Athennian Help Center
  • Feedback Center: We take feedback seriously here at Athennian and many of our best features have come from ideas submitted to our Feedback Center.  Learn more about how to submit feedback in our Understanding the Feedback Center article!
