Who this is for

Studio owners deciding whether PositiveForm fits, who want to see their own studio in it before committing to anything.

Required access: none. This workflow deliberately has no sign-in step.

Before you begin

  • Nothing to set up, and no account to create.
  • Work in one browser on one device. The workspace belongs to that browser until you save it, so it will not follow you to your phone.
  • Use made-up student details. Real member information belongs in a saved workspace, and PositiveForm will ask you to save before it accepts any.

Steps

  1. Open /setup. The page explains that no login or plan is required and that this browser receives revocable access to one isolated draft.
  2. Select Start setting up your studio. PositiveForm creates the workspace at this point, not when the page loads.
  3. Name the studio and work through the setup sections: locations, programs and their class times, and the ranks students move through.
  4. Add a few sample students to see rosters and ranks populated.
  5. Watch the checklist as you go. It tracks what a working studio still needs, so you can stop at any point and see how far along you are.
  6. When PositiveForm offers to save your progress, choose whether to create an account now or keep exploring. It explains which of your actions prompted the offer.

Expected outcome

The studio you built is still there after a reload in the same browser, with its locations, programs, class times, ranks, and sample students intact. Saving your progress turns it into a real organization tied to your account; until then it stays a draft that only this browser can reach.

Recovery

  • If the page reports that draft setup is unavailable, the environment you are on has not been configured to provision workspaces. Nothing you can do in the browser will get past it; the studio must be created from an account instead (ONB-001). This is the state the deployed demo is in, reported to PositiveForm support against this story.
  • If the page says the browser cannot securely create a workspace, the browser is blocking the storage this workflow needs. Try a normal (non-private) window.
  • If your studio is missing after a reload, the browser discarded its storage. A draft cannot be recovered once that happens; save your progress earlier next time to keep it.
  • If a limit stops you adding another location, program, class time, progression, or student, that is the deliberate ceiling on an unsaved workspace, not a fault. Save your progress to continue.
  • If you want the studio gone, use the option to discard it rather than clearing browser data, so the workspace is revoked on the server too.
  • ONB-001 — Create a studio organization from an account you already have.
  • ONB-002 — Tell PositiveForm what moving your existing studio would involve.
