# Getting started

> Open the terminal, find a company, open panels and pick a layout — the first ten minutes.

## Open the terminal

WiseView is one workspace, the terminal, at [wiseview.ai/app/terminal](https://wiseview.ai/app/terminal). Sign in and you land on it. If you also run an organization’s account, signing in first asks whether you want the terminal or Manage.

## Take the tour

A first visit opens a welcome: pick what you want to do and the desk is set up for it. Then **The basics** takes about two minutes — open the finder, pick a company, open a panel by its code, fill the desk and put it back, switch layouts and find Guide. Each step waits until you have done it, and nothing does it for you.

`Esc` or Leave tour stops at any time. **Guide** in the header (or `I`) picks up where you left off, beside three short chapters that run on a practice desk, so your own panels stay as they are. On a phone there is no tour; the welcome only sets the desk up.

## Find a company

Press `⌘ K` (Ctrl+K on Windows) or ``` to open the finder, type a ticker and press Enter. The Company Profile opens on it, and every panel on lane A follows.

## Open a panel

Every panel has a short code. Type `CH` for a chart, `WL` for a watchlist, `PM` for the pre-market board — or the panel’s name — and Enter opens it. `NVDA CH` opens a chart on NVDA. **Add panel** beside the command field (or `M`) lists every panel by category.

- [Every panel and its code](https://wiseview.ai/docs#commands) — The command reference, one page per panel.

## Pick a layout

The left sidebar starts with five presets — Watch the open, Research one company, Read the board, Follow the money, Plan a trade. A preset’s own panels stay put; anything you add floats on top. Above them, **+ New blank desk** (or N) gives you an empty desk with no name. When a desk is how you want it, **Save** (⌘ S) keeps it as a layout of your own, and the header says **Edited** whenever one of yours has changes you have not saved. Your layouts follow you to other devices.
