Half an hour here saves a question on every collection you ever request. In this guide we fill in the company profile, the defaults every request starts from, the sites you collect at, and your own lab and MRO, then check the subscription.
Steps 1 to 3
Start on Team Information. The first tab holds the things you set once and rarely touch again. Save changes at the top applies everything on the tab, so you can work down it and save at the end.
Team Information → General → Profile · Collection defaults · Company contact
Your company name and an optional description, then the brand colour and text colour that tint the menu for everyone on your team. This is what your people see when they sign in.
Pick a default test type and drug panel and they are chosen for you every time a collection is requested, and can still be changed on the request. Default collection notes go to the collector on every request: where to park, who to ask for.
The person to ask for, the address for correspondence and billing, and a business number. This one is a contact number rather than one that receives texts, so a land line is fine. The switch underneath turns collection texts on or off for the whole team.
Steps 4 and 5
Next, two tabs that save typing later: a registration link per group, and the places you actually collect at.
Links → group registration links · Sites → add a site
Each of your groups has a link that signs a new person straight into it. Hand the DOT link to your drivers and the Non-DOT link to everyone else, and the roster builds itself without you adding anybody by hand.
A site is a place you usually test at: a depot, a plant, a yard. Give it a name and address and a request starts there with the map pin already dropped. The star makes one the default. Roadside and one-off collections still work without a site.
Steps 6 and 7
Last, who processes your tests and who reviews the results, then a look at the subscription.
Lab, MRO & DER → Billing
Use the READI Collect defaults, or switch to your own and enter the lab name, your DOT and Non-DOT account numbers, and the MRO name and phone. The right account number is then picked from the test type, so collectors stop writing it on the paperwork. Below that, name your Designated Employer Representative.
Your subscription at a glance: the free trial with the days left, the price once it ends, and Start subscription when you are ready. Manage billing in Stripe opens the secure portal for cards and receipts. Only managers with billing access see the buttons.
The account is set up. Topic 5 is the one you will come back to most: requesting a collection, start to finish.
