Configuring Advanced Registrations

Advanced Registrations are a way to collect registration on a per event basis. You may collect a standard, free registration, or a priced registration in which you collect money. You may select one option with each registration type. To configure Advanced Registrations, access the event you've created via Content>Event Manager>Events.

Configuring Advanced Registrations

• Open the event to edit.
• Select the Registration tab.
• Leave Enable Basic Web Form? at No.
• Select Yes for Enable Advanced Registrations
• You may enter a Registrations Caption if you choose. This will appear in a heading font above the Registration Types on the front end.
• If you would like to be notified when a registration is submitted, enter the email address(es) in the Registration Notify Email section (free registrations ONLY).

Registration Types

Registration Types are the available options a user can select from when registering for an event.

• Select Add New Registration Type.
• Enter a Title for the type i.e. Art Gala Ticket, Golfer Foursome, Dinner Guest.
• Enter a Description for the Registration Type. If you plan on having multiple 'types', make sure that you have a description for each one. This will ensure that the registration display on the event detail page will appear consistent.
• If you need to collect additional information for a specific registration, or just one set of information for all of your Registration Types, you will be able to select a form from the drop-down under Detail Collection Form.  For information on setting up forms for event registrations, see: Creating a Form for an Event.
• For registrations NOT involving sponsors, leave the "Treat ticket as a registrant?" and "Treat ticket as a sponsor?" settings at their defaults.
• If you choose to cap the number of registrants for this particular event type, change Limit Tickets Available? to Yes and enter the number. This will also give the option to customize a 'sold out' message which will display when there are no more tickets available.
• An Upsell Page is a page where one would be directed to after they've successfully registered.  If you choose, you can direct someone to another event, or a thank you page for example. Just select the 'overlapping pages' icon to the right to select from the Page Picker. For more information on the Page Picker, see: Page Picker.
• Leave the default settings for all of the remaining options.

Pricing

• Registration Costs: If it is a free registration, leave the button set at No Cost. You can change the caption via the Label for No Cost field.
• If you are charging for the Registration Type, select Set Price, then enter the Base Price.
• There are Early Bird options that you can utilize for special pricing that is available a specified number of days in advance, or until a specific date/time.
• Leave the Include Additional Tickets with this Registration set to No. (Only used under special circumstances).

Options

Options allow the user the ability to add-on additional items to their registration order. For instance, you can have them add an additional number of guests,  a donation, t-shirt, or other promotional item.

• Provide an Option Description (This is not required).
• Select Add New Option.
• Enter the Name of the add-on option.
• Leave the drop-down on Add.
• Enter the price of the add-on.
• Select Yes to enable the user the ability to purchase multiple quantities of add-ons.
• Ignore the Inventory.
• You may adjust the positioning of multiple add-ons by using the 'directional arrows' icon. Simply click and drag to reorder.
• Schedule and Access tabs are not necessary.

Confirmation

As opposed to a generic confirmation email, this setting will allow you to customize the information. (Available in versions 1.25.10 & later)

• Be sure to choose Yes for User custom confirmation email?
• Enter a Subject. This will appear in the registrant's inbox in the subject line.
• Type your custom text. You have a basic editor with formatting and linking options.
