Welcome to the myTRS family! We are very excited to have you as a client. myTRS is a semi-customizable system, which means you can personalize your registration site within the available capabilities of the system.
Before you start working on the system, consult this list of items you will need to gather to complete your registration site and be ready to take it live.

Site Build Checklist
Below is the list of items you need to build your registration sites. Items 1, 2, 3 must be prioritized as they are the most time-consuming components to prepare.
-
Registrant Types – Will you have one or many registrant types? Different registrant types will have access to different profile questions, activities, background check packages, or prices for items.
-
Activity Groups – Will you group activities by days, locations, or committees? Activity groups will appear as headers to help registrants/volunteers find the activities and schedules they want easily.
-
Activities and Time Slots – This is the full list of schedules/activities that your registrants will sign up for. Please lay out the following:
- All the activities organized by activity groups.
- List of registrant types that have access to each activity.
- Recommended: Activity descriptions and images.
- Optional: Time slots: Start date and time & end date and time (Note: You can have activities without time slots)
- Optional: Capacity: How many people are needed/allowed for each time slot?
- Optional: Confirmation note for each activity (important information to show on registrants' confirmation email)
-
Event Start Date – this will appear on the home page & registration confirmation email.
-
Event End Date – this will appear on the home page & registration confirmation email.
