Access Path | Acquisitions > Events |
How To
1. Specify basic event information
- In the page listing all events, click on Create an event.
- In the New event window, give a name to your event.
- Then specify its start date and time.
- The language selection here is for the registration language, and not the event language. The language selected by default corresponds to the project's default language.
**If you want to offer the event registration form in multiple languages, it is important to specify it here, at this initial step, as once the event is created, you can no longer change the languages. - Once all information is provided, click on Create.
2. Provide additional event information
Once the event is created, all changes are done on the edit page.
- In the top section of the edit page, click on the Edit icon next to the event's name.
- In the Event Properties window, change the name if needed.
- Edit the start date and time of the event if needed, and add the end date and time if you wish.
- Fix a maximum number of participants if necessary. *When a maximum capacity is defined, the registration period will end when either the end date or the maximum number of participants is reached.
- To limit the registration period, check the related option.
- By default, registration starts as the event is published and ends when the event starts.
- Click Save.
3. Configure the registration workflow
1 | Registration link leads to the page on which participants will land to register. It contains the form that you will create with all the field. You also have to design this page. |
2 | Status of forms can vary, and you should have a message for each of the scenario indicated when it applies if form is:
|
3 | Successful registration when the contact has been added as a participant to the event |
4 | iCalendar file, which can be sent to contact after registration so they can add the period to their preferred calendar. You can add information at this stage, like a connexion link. |
5 | Activate the confirmation process so contacts receive a confirmation of their participation, as well as having the option to cancel their presence. |
6 | Optional, but you can add a confirmation process so the contact has to validate his decision to participate. Can be an interesting practice so you can confirm that the contact's email is valid. |
7 | Admin notification can be interesting if you want to be notified each time someone registers for the event. You can add multiple emails, but they have to be an existing contact of your project. |
