Getting Started

Account registration can begin either from the main landing page, or from an email inviting you to join HerdPlan. In either case the process is similar.

Registering for an account

If you are starting from the main site, you can begin registration by clicking on the registration link (highlighted in red below).

Beginning registration process

Registration consists of three steps:

  1. Provide your name and choose your account role.

  2. Provide an email and password.

  3. Activate your account.

Name and Role

Registration Step 1

Email and Password

Registration Step 2

Activate your account

This is an important step to verify that you own the email account you provided. Just click on the 'Activate' link in the email.

Account Activation

You now have an active account and can sign in with the email and password you provided.

Accepting an Invitation

If you are starting from an email invitation, then the person who invited you has already provided most of the details required.

The email has a link which allows you to set a password for your account, and you can then sign in with your email and chosen password.
