Open the Registration
Prepare database
If running a new seasonal or new annual Registration, and no swimmers are currently swimming or active, the best practice to get the member database prepared for the season. If there are active swimmers or have a year-round team with no breaks, skip this step. This step involves changing “Active” members’ status to “Waiting for Approval,” which organizes your members for the registration process. This makes managing easier to quickly organize who is returning for the new year and which members are no longer active.
Click Team Admin > Registration Admin.
By the desired registration, click Manage.
Click Not Registered tab — this displays all accounts that have not yet registered.
If needed, set the “Member Status” drop-down to *Active and click Search.
Check the box(s) by the “Member” column header. This toggles all of the checkboxes on for all accounts listed.
If any Coaches or Board Members are present, they will also be changed to a status of Waiting for Approval. Uncheck their names.
Click Multi-Change Member Status.
Check the box “Change Member Status” and select Waiting For Approval from the drop-down.
Click Save Changes for ALL Members listed NOW.
All of the previously registered members are now set to Waiting for Approval. Once the registration process has finished and the season is underway, easily run through these steps again and move all members who did not register for this season to Suspended.

Set “Turn on for Registration” to YES.
