How does the Event setup affect the registration pages presented to the user?

There are many options available when you set up a calendar event that affect how the registration process behaves. 

  • URL for additional detail and pictures
    These options create a "click here" link on the Description step page so that the user can view additional information and/or pictures.
  • Location
    If the address location is entered for an event, the address becomes a link to MapQuest.
  • Register by date
    If the register by date has passed, the system will hide the Register button on the Description page and will display a message at the top of the page that indicates that the latest date for registration has passed.
  • Do not require Individual Registration
    If this check box is turned on, the Member Registrants and Other Registrants steps are bypassed, and the Confirmation Details page will contain the billing information defaulted to the User's ID or blank for a non-member.
  • Single Cost vs Multiple Cost
    If multiple costs are associated with an event, the Member and Other Registrant pages will include a drop-down list with the available attendee types in order to capture the correct cost.
  • Min and Max Registrants
    These fields determine the minimum number of registrants and the maximum number of registrants (per attendee type) that are allowed per registration.  The user will see error messages if they try to register too few or too many attendees.
  • Maximum Attendees and Waitlist
    If the maximum attendees field is set and the maximum number have been registered, the new registrants will be
    Waitlisted if the Waitlist field is set.  If there is no Waitlist, then the user will receive an error message stating that the maximum number of registrants has been reached.
  • Members may register other members
    This setting determines what the users sees on the Member Registrants page.  If turned on, all members will be available on the page.  If not turned on, the user will only see their name.
  • Members may register anyone
    This determines if the Other Registrant page is made available to the user.
  • Non member registration requirements
    This determines if the Email address or telephone number are required when registering non-members and affects the Other Registrant page.
  • Allow registration from
    If the user is not logged into the system and this field is set to Only members who have signed in, then the system will ask the user to log in before proceeding with the registration.  Once the user has logged in, the system will return the registration page.
  • Online Payments
    If online payments are enabled, the Payment step is added to the registration.
  • Attached forms
    If forms are assigned to the event, the Optional Form or Required Form step is added to the registration.
