Set up your Organisation

If you are not part of an organisation, when you first sign in you will be greeted with the Organisation Wizard. This wizard will help you set up your organisation.

By following a waste company profile, you receive notifications of when their documents are coming up for renewal, when they have expired and when they are updated. Follow all the companies you use to stay informed.

Creating an organisation is simple. Follow the steps below:

• First off, press the get started button
• Now fill in the information about your organisation – if you have a head office you should use that information
• Clicking save will then take you to the section to create a site. It will be populated with the information from the organisation. This can be refreshed so that it is empty. You must choose if this site has a waste licence or not. Click register site to save the details
• You will be given the option to Add another site or to Add users
• Clicking on either of these will either bring up the form to add another site or invite a user. Fill in the required details and click save or invite
• Once all the sites have been created and users invited you can press Done this will take you to your dashboard

If you are waiting to join an organisation, then contact your administrator to help you get activated.
