re: Raid Signup Site - Complete Walkthrough - PLEASE READ!

0

I am duplicating the walthrough for those who have not yet registered to the Raider. There seems to be an issue with people registering fine but then not realizing they need to add their toons to the database.

If you have not added a character, you will not be able to sign up!

The following screenshots and brief desriptions should help make it easier for everyone to get signed up and familiar with the new raider options:

Registering

Click the register option at the top left of the home screen:

Forum Image


Fill in the required information and then click submit:

Forum Image


Once registered go back to the home screen and choose login and enter your username and password:

Forum Image


After logging in the site will take you straight to the calendar view for the current month where you will be able to immediatly see all raids and events currently scheduled.

Please Note! You will not be able to signup for any raids until you have entered your toons into the system:

Adding Your Toons

The next step you will need to complete is the entry of your toons into the system. There is no level requirement to enter your toons. Levels only come into play in raid sign up, if they do not meet the minimum requirements for a particular event they will not be available to sign up. You can edit your toons at any time as they level up. To enter a toon, click the "Create" drop down from the main menu and select "Character":

Once in this screen you may enter the information as necessary. Fill in all information in the top section. It is not necessary to fill in the bottom portion although you certainly may do so if you like. However this information changes often. Once the top section is complete, click the submit button (rinse and repeat for all the toons you wish to enter). Only the top section which is required is shown in this screen:

You can view and edit your toons at anytime by going to the "My Account" dropdown and selecting "Characters" from the list. The paper and pen icon to the right side of the list will allow you to edit that toon:

Signing Up For a Raid

Visit the Calendar (Home) page to view the available raids. You can hover your mouse over any raid icon to view a summary of that event, what class positions or roles are available and how many spots are available to be filled:

Forum Image


Depending on your level of access, you will see one or more icons next to the raid icon. The one everyone will see is a pencil icon:

Clicking this small pencil icon will bring up a small window with several selectable drop down fields. These are, character name (character you wish to fill the role/position with), available roles/positions to be filled, status (confirmed will attend, available to attend, and not available).

This screen shows the first drop down which is character name, all of the characters you have entered in the steps above will be shown in this view unless their level does not meet the minimum level requirements of this raid:

This screen shows the second dropdown menu which is where you will choose which role/position to fill. Remember, some will be class specific roles, some will be roles which may be filled by more than one class. If you sign up for a particular role please ensure the toon you are signing up is capable of performing this role. Qualified classes are typically noted in parenthesis next to the role. Do not sign up for a role of "Primary Healer" with a Captain when the classes specified in the note are Runekeeper and Minstrel:

The third drop down is your status for the raid. If a spot is open for the role you specified you can sign up as confirmed (confirming your attendance). If you sign up as confirmed and the slots are already filled up, you will be defaulted to available:

Once you have selected your choices in the three drop downs you can then enter your note containing your alternate toons who are also raid ready and then clicking the submit button:

Forum Image

You can view your status from the calendar view at any time:

Forum Image


You can also enter the raid details by clicking the icon for that raid. Doing so will allow you to see who else is signed up as well as their status and notes:

Forum Image


Even after signup you may edit your status or role. Inside the raid details you will see several icons, some may be based on your access but everyone who has signed up will see the following:

Forum Image


"Make not available"
If something comes up and and you cannot attend, click the red X to change your status to not available:

Forum Image


"Make Available"
Exact oposite of above:

Forum Image


"Change User Roll"
At some point in time you may decide you wish to change the role you fill, or may be asked to do so by the raid leader:

Forum Image


"Remove Signup (Permanent)"
This option will complete remove your signup permanently. You may however start over again. THis is handy if you change your mind about the toon you wish to run:

If anyone has any questions about the use of the Raider, please post them to this thread and I will answer as soon as possible, you may also send me a private message via the SC website or find me in game.[/u][/i]
