If you are a new user, the main purpose of the RCA Quick Start Tour is to familiarize you with the application as quickly as possible. Therefor, you may look at the Fishbone diagram, 5 Whys, Action plan and Sign-off pages first and then come back to the Background.
In an actual RCA you’ll first do a proper investigation of the problem before you move on to the other pages.
