After your CQRS User Administrator has set you up on the system, you will receive an automated email containing a link directing you to the CQRS Registration screen. If you don’t receive the automated email, please inform your CQRS User Administrator so the automated email could be generated for you. From here you must complete your user registration and create a password. This Job Aid provides you with the basic steps required to access and sign in to CQRS for the first time.
