How do I register?

Firstly, go to www.column.us/register in your web browser. Note that if you have a Google or Microsoft account, you may also register and sign in using those credentials at www.column.us/login.

Fill out the required account information including name, email, and password. Then, click the blue ‘Create Account’ button.

*Note: If you are a publisher whose newspaper(s) are onboarding to Column, check out this article for more information on how account registration will work for you. 

Choose the role that best describes you.

If you are the only person who will need access to your notices, select Individual. If you select ‘Individual’ you will not be prompted to make an organization at this time. You can continue on to entering your account information. If you select anything other than ‘Individual’, you will be prompted to create or join an organization. 

By creating or joining an organization in Column, you will be able to collaborate with your coworkers in Column without having to share a username/password. When members of the same organization, coworkers can access all of the notices placed by any fellow member of the organization. Consequently, they can also access notice documents such as invoices or affidavits. For instance, if someone else in your office manages payments and billing and needs to access and/or be notified of new invoices, they can do so as an organization member.

You can search through existing organizations in Column to see if someone from your organization has already registered with Column. If you find your organization, you can request to join it —you can click here to check out more information on this process. 

If you are the first of your coworkers to use Column, you can create a new organization — we have a helpful guide with further context here.

If you're registering as an Individual, you'll be all set to log in after you provide your contact information. Once you log in, you’re ready to place your first notice!
