Connect Application - Guide

Customers currently using the Connect Application are advised to complete their onboarding setup as soon as possible, as the Connect Application is scheduled to be discontinued on the 31st of January, 2024.

This article contains information on using the Connect Application tour to familiarize new users with task types, configuration progress, and validation requirements.

The Connect Application contains a tour designed for new users. It contains a short series of seven slides to help you familiarize yourself with:

• • • How to get started with the application.
    • Accessing the different task types and categories.
    • The progress of your configuration and the status of each task.
    • External tasks to be configured outside of Mimecast.
    • Skippable tasks you can return to later.
    • Tasks that require validation by Mimecast.
    • Viewing a summary of your progress to date.

The tour is displayed in a popup window after you log in and confirm your account details are correct. Click on the Next button of the Connect Tour popup to start the slides. Alternatively, access the tour at any time from your Account Profile, as detailed below. You can exit the tour on any slide by clicking the X link, though we recommend spending a few moments familiarizing yourself with it.
