Guide Setup Tour

The setup tour

A new MowDeck account starts with a short, guided setup. It shows what is still missing for a MowDeck that is ready to mow and leads you into the right place for each step. Every step notices by itself when it is done; nothing needs to be ticked off by hand.

Where you find it

  • On the mower list. A new account without a mower sees the Einrichtung card at the top: the progress, the next step and its button. Tour öffnen shows all steps, Später hides the card.
  • Under Einstellungen → Einrichtung. The status of the tour and a button to open or continue it. Opening it there brings back a hidden tour with everything you did so far.
  • Accounts that were set up before the tour existed see one line on the mower list instead ("Einrichtungshilfe: …"). Prüfen opens the tour, the cross hides the line for good.

The progress is stored with your user, not in the browser: what you skipped in the browser stays skipped in the iPhone app.

The steps

Step Done when Leads to
Mammotion-Konto verbinden a Mammotion account is linked (or you already have a mower of another kind) Einstellungen → Verbundene Konten
Mäher hinzufügen you have a mower Mäher → Mäher hinzufügen
Karte prüfen MowDeck has read the map of your mower (a few minutes after it connects) the mower's page
Benachrichtigungen einrichten push in this or another browser, the iPhone app or ntfy is set up Einstellungen → Benachrichtigungen
Passkey anlegen (optional) you have a passkey Einstellungen → Konto
Ersten Mähplan anlegen a schedule exists Zeitpläne → Neuer Zeitplan
Anmeldung verknüpfen (optional) GitHub or Apple is linked for sign-in Einstellungen → Konto
Widgets und Apple Watch (optional, iPhone app only) the widgets are on on this iPhone Einstellungen → Benachrichtigungen (this app)

Steps that do not apply are left out: without the right to manage mowers you do not see the first two, the passkey and sign-in steps appear only when the server offers them, and the widget step only inside the iPhone app.

Überspringen puts a step aside; it no longer holds up the tour, and Wieder aufnehmen brings it back at any time. The tour is complete when every step is done or skipped; optional steps may stay open. Fertig closes it; Einstellungen → Einrichtung keeps it reachable.

On an iPhone in Safari, the notification step points to the existing install hint: push notifications arrive only in the installed app.

First-time hints

While you are new, the mower page and the schedules show a short Zum ersten Mal hier note at the top. Verstanden hides it on every device. Accounts that were set up before the tour existed never see these notes.

For operators

The tour needs no configuration. Identity stores each user's choices in the table onboarding_progress (GET/PUT /api/v1/identity/me/onboarding); the decision record is ADR 0062.
