Tutorial: Signing up for a new account

This tutorial will walk you through the process of signing up for a new account and verifying the email to activate the account. You will need a valid email account where you can receive the verification email before proceeding with this tutorial.

Visit http://roster.1844.net/. Please note there is no www at the beginning of the URL.

Now click on the Register button in the upper right hand corner of the screen to load the registration form and fill out the form with your information. Please verify that you have entered a valid email address before submitting the form.

Once you’ve filled out the form and have entered a valid email address click on the “Register Now” button. The next screen will just confirm that your registration has been accepted and remind you to check your inbox for the verification email. The warning about not being logged in is a reminder that you will need to login before proceeding.

Now we need to jump into our email inbox and find the verification email that was sent to your account. It will look similar to the email pictured here. Once you find it, simply click on the link in the email. If your email client does not allow you to click on the link directly, simply copy the link and paste it into a browser window.

And finally when you click on the verification link and everything goes according to plan you should see the following screen letting you know that your account has been activated. You can now login using the email and password you used during the registration process.

Add verification form letter

I’ve added a new form letter to the system that can be used to send a verification letter to each household in the community asking them to verify the community roster information on file. This letter is useful to send out once a year to capture any changes that need to be made to the community roster.

Let me know if you have letters or other reports that you would like to see added to the system.
