First Run Checklist

Follow these steps in order the first time you log in. Each step takes 2–5 minutes.

:::note Don't have an account yet? Sign up at signup.r4ptor.app. Choose a subdomain (e.g. tigers.r4ptor.app), enter your details, and your school is live in about 30 seconds — no card required, 14-day free trial included. :::

1. Check your student types​

Student types define the groups in your club — e.g. Snakes & Cranes, Juniors, Teens, Adults. These are pre-configured for your instance. If anything is missing, contact support.

2. Add your classes​

Go to Admin → Manage Classes → Add Class. For each class you need:

  • Class name — e.g. Tuesday Adults 7pm
  • Student type — which group attends
  • Day and time
  • Duration in minutes
  • Location — e.g. Main Hall
tip

If you have 10+ classes, use the CSV import instead — it creates classes and enrols students in one go.

3. Add your students​

Either:

  • CSV import (recommended for 5+ students) — see Import Students
  • Manual — go to People → + button → Add Student

4. Enrol students in classes​

If you added students manually, open each student's profile and add their class enrolments. Imported students are enrolled automatically.

5. Add your staff​

Go to People → Staff tab → + button. For each staff member you need their name, role (Coach or Leader), and hourly rate.

6. Assign staff to classes​

Open each staff member's profile and add the classes they teach.

7. Set up communications​

See Comms Setup to configure email and SMS.

8. Take your first register​

Tap a class card on the home screen. The register shows all enrolled students — tap a name to mark them present.

You're ready. The platform will start building attendance history from your first register.
