The Lessons are a self-paced path to learn Mairu by doing. Unlike the rest of the help center articles, which explain how to use a specific feature step by step, here you will understand what each piece is for, when to use it and how it fits with the others, while you build a real process from start to finish.
💡 Think of the rest of the articles as the instruction manual for each tool, and the Lessons as the course that teaches you to build with them. Each lesson links to the detailed articles whenever you need them.
🧭 Choose your path
Not everyone needs to learn the same things. Start with the path that matches your role:
Path | Who it's for | Lessons | Approx. duration |
🟢 Fundamentals | Everyone | 1 and 2 | 45 min |
🔵 Configurator · Level 1 | Client key users and partners who are going to create forms | 3 to 8 | 4 h |
🟣 Configurator · Level 2 | Anyone automating complete processes | 9 to 12 | 4 h |
🟠 Analysis | Managers and analysts who track the data | 13 and 14 | 2 h |
🔴 Integration | Partners, IT and integrators | 15 | 1 h 30 min |
🏁 Final project | Anyone who wants to validate what they've learned (recommended for partners) | 16 | 3 h |
👷 Are you an end user (operator, technician)? The Fundamentals path is enough for you. Lesson 2 teaches you everything you need to work with Mairu on web and mobile.
🧪 The case you will build: Packaging control
All the configuration lessons use the same example, which will grow lesson by lesson. By the end you will have a complete process up and running, not a collection of disconnected exercises.
The situation: at a food plant, a packaging control is carried out on the lines every shift. The operator records the product and the batch, takes five weighings, measures the temperature and marks whether the control is correct. If something goes wrong, the quality manager has to find out right away.
This is how the process will grow:
Lesson | What you add to the Packaging control |
3 | Quality module, departments, Operator and Quality profiles, test users |
4 | Lines as Assets, products, Shifts entity and status group |
5 | The form with its fields, published |
6 | The weighings subform |
7 | Rules: mandatory corrective action if the control is NOT OK, expiry date calculation |
8 | History, mobile card and PDF of the control |
9 | Email to the quality manager when the control comes out NOT OK, status change and verification task |
10 | Average weight calculated automatically, shelf life from a product record and latest rejections on the line |
11 | A scheduled control each shift |
12 | Alert if rejections pile up and daily reminder of unreviewed controls |
13 | A dashboard for operators and another for quality |
14 | A Power BI report with the weight trend |
15 | Sending the result to an external system |
💡 The chosen case is no accident: automatically alerting when a quality control falls out of range is the most common use of Mairu. If you master this process, you will know how to build most of the others.
📐 How each lesson is built
Every lesson follows the same structure, so you always know what to expect:
Section | What it's for |
🎯 By the end you'll know | What you'll be able to do |
🧠 The idea | The concept: what it exists for, when to use it and when not to |
🛠️ Guided practice | You apply it to the Packaging control |
🔍 Check that it works | How to know you've done it right |
⚠️ Common mistakes | What usually goes wrong, drawn from real support questions |
🏋️ Challenge | An exercise with no steps, for you to solve on your own |
📚 Learn more | The detailed articles for each feature |
⚠️ Don't skip the challenges. Following steps teaches you to repeat; solving a challenge without help is what proves you've understood it.
🧰 Before you start
Work in a test or training environment, never in your company's production environment. You are going to create test forms, users and automations.
You need a user with an administrator profile (or with access to Settings) for the configuration paths.
Keep the Mairu mobile app handy: several lessons will ask you to check the result on mobile. See Download the Mairu app on mobile and desktop.
If you get stuck, check the Mairu Glossary or write to the support chat indicating which lesson and step you are on.
