38.1 Getting help using the FBIS platform

We are so pleased that users are using FBIS! The site offers a broad range of features, which are documented in the user guide and manual. For a quick start, users can explore the walk-through video of the platform. Lastly, although we strive to provide a seamless experience, users may occasionally encounter issues with the site. If such an issue arises, users are encouraged to report it on our issue tracker, and we will do our best to resolve it promptly!

38.2 FBIS Testing site

For practicing the workflows for capturing data on FBIS, users should use the FBIS Testing site. Here, users can add dummy data, as the data are overwritten with a mirror image of the FBIS Live (production) site every week. The same login works for both FBIS Live and FBIS Testing.
