First Steps

Once the Operation Centre displays, follow these steps to get up and running quickly. If you get stuck, more detailed information is available in later chapters.
1. Locate your branch

	Click the Branch Details tab
	Drill down the tree control through Agency (e.g. BSAC), Country, County until you find your branch. If it isn’t listed then click the New Branch button.

2. Check your branch details are correct

Click the Edit Branch button to make any necessary changes.

3. Set up Subscriptions

	On the Resources menu, click Subscription Management
	Create subscriptions for your branch by clicking the New button and filling in the details of each subscription.
	Agency subscriptions should already be in the database, but new membership types may have been introduced or prices increased. Check that the details are correct.

4. Enter Members

	Click the Members’ Details tab
	Click the New Diver button
	Follow the prompts in the New Divers Wizard to enter the member’s details
	Repeat for each branch member

Once you have completed these steps you will have a basic membership database containing contact details and subscription information. Use the Training, Dive Log, Equipment and Subscription buttons to manage this information for each diver if you wish.
