How do I join my organization's account on Column?

If someone from your organization — whether you work for a government agency or department, a law firm, or a private company — has already registered for Column, you can request to join their organization when setting up your own account. 

1. Go to column.us/register, and when you see this screen, select the organization type that best matches your work (if you plan on joining an organization, do not select individual).

2. Search for your organization in the search bar. If you find your organization, click on it to select, then click 'Continue.' Select each organization to send multiple requests if you need access to multiple organizations. If you don't find your organization, you can see this help center article on creating an organization instead.

3. Complete the registration process by providing your personal contact information. A current admin must approve your request to join the organization. Please contact help@column.us if you have not received approval or need to know your organization's current admins.

4. Upon signing in, you'll be registered as an individual—this will change once your request is approved. You can check the status of your join requests in your notifications (the bell icon at the top right of your screen). Once your request is approved, you'll be added to the organization and gain access to its notices and other documents.

1. Login to your Column account.

2. In the page's top-left corner, click on the organization menu and click "Add Organization."

3. Select your occupation type — government, law firm, or other organization.

4. Search for your organization in the search bar. If you find your organization, click on it and then submit your request.

All admin members of the organization will receive email notifications letting them know you've requested to join their organization. Until your request is approved, you won't have access to the organization's notices, invoices, or affidavits.

You'll automatically get access to the organization and its documents when your request is approved. You'll see the organization name in the top-left corner of the Column app. If you already have notices on your account, they will be merged into the organization, and the other members will gain access to them. 

If you are a member of multiple organizations, you can toggle between them by clicking on your organization name on the top left-hand side of your screen. Choose among your organizations listed in the dropdown menu and click the one whose notices you want to view.

Note: Any notices placed on your account before your request is approved won't be automatically connected to your organization. We recommend waiting to place your first notice.
