# Quick Start Wizard

The "Quick Start Wizard", which launches on first login or any time you create a new case, will guide you through configuring your Solr, Elasticsearch, or other search endpoint and setting up your case.

#### What you need to complete the wizard

- A Solr or Elasticsearch instance that is accessible from your browser
- A list of desired fields from your search engine

>  *Note: You can use the demo Solr or Elasticsearch instances provided to test Quepid

## Naming Your Case

First you will be required to enter a case name. Select something descriptive to distinguish between your cases.

## Connecting your Search Engine

Quepid does not require any installation on your server. All you need to do is indicate which search engine you are working with, and provide the URL to your search engine.  A wide variety of search engines are supported.

You will be able to update this URL at any point in the settings. If you want to try Quepid out without providing your data, feel free to leave the default collection selected.

## Selecting Fields to Display

Specify the _title field_ to use for display purposes. This typically corresponds to the field you use as a clickable title in your application while displaying search results. The application provides an autosuggest list of potential fields, but you are free to use any field in you search engine.

The _ID field_ is the only other required field to use Quepid. This should correspond to the unique identifier specified in your schema and should be a _number_ or _string_. The ID is the only field stored in Quepid, so your sensitive data will remain securely on your servers.

You can select additional fields if you would like to see other data in your Quepid results. You can also specify images with the following syntax: `thumb:field_name` and video/audio with `media:field_name`. Fields that have a value that starts with `http` will be turned into links.

## Adding Queries

At this point the required setup steps are complete. You have the option to provide some initial queries, but you can also add queries at any time in the application. It is helpful to add at least one query here so that your results will be populated when the application initially loads.
