The list is here. For example categories I recommend looking at getoutdoorsleadville.myturn.com or bawt.myturn.com. We will spend the first meeting going through each of these, but like I said please explore.

1) Set all the system wide parameters-

1. Set up categories - 20-25

2. Set up sub-locations for item restrictions based on membership.

3. Set up member types - both for payment levels and restrictions - eg an individual member with access to backpacking gear vs and supporting member with access to only warm clothing.

4. Concurrent with item set-up, finetune pricing structures for membership levels

5. Decide whether you will track each item individually or if identical items are interchangeable.

6. Add waivers to system

7. Determine your item numbering system if you want item numbers to be a certain way. Default is each new item get the next available number.

2) Create one copy of each item. This allows you to make sure it has all the right restrictions, data, etc.

3) Mass duplicate items using the import/export system

4) Concurrent with items, go through email templates, spanish translation phrases, home page

5) User testing

6) Deploy
