# F7 — First-run experience

## What it is

A new install ships ready to use — with more pre-configuration added over time. **Completion** (complete / incomplete) is built into every task from day one — not a custom field.

<!-- status: done -->

## First run (shipped)

- **Main task page** — empty task list; **completed tasks filtered out** by default (user can show all).
- **No sample tasks** — a clean slate.
- **No** projects, custom fields, or saved views yet.

<!-- status: partial -->

## First run (extended)

A fuller install adds custom fields, starter views, and the inbox.

<!-- status: todo -->

### Custom fields (pre-created)

| Field        | Type          | Starter configuration                    |
| ------------ | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Notes**    | Rich text     | Empty by default — long-form description |
| **Due date** | Date          | Empty by default                         |
| **Priority** | Single-select | **Low**, **Medium**, **High**            |

No other fields should be created automatically. Users may add more fields at any time (e.g. a single-select for workflow stage). Users can rename, extend, or delete any starter custom field.

<!-- status: todo -->

### Starter views (global)

| View            | Filter                         | Sort                 | Group   |
| --------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------- | ------- |
| **All tasks**   | None (complete and incomplete) | None (manual order)  | None    |
| **Open**        | Incomplete tasks               | None                 | None    |
| **By priority** | Incomplete tasks               | Priority (ascending) | None    |
| **By project**  | None                           | None                 | Project |

**All tasks** is the required baseline view (renamable, not deletable). **Open** is the **default landing view** — incomplete tasks only, for everyday work.

### Starter projects

None — the user creates projects as needed. Tasks can exist without a project.

### Inbox

The inbox starts **empty**. Chat and inbox capture can land here first ([F4](./f4-inbox.mdx)).

### What the user sees (full product)

1. **Inbox** — empty, ready for capture.
2. **Main task page** — on **Open** view (incomplete tasks only).
3. **Custom fields** — Notes, Due date, Priority already defined; completion checkbox on every task.
4. No sample tasks — a clean slate except for configuration.
