Creating an Event

1. In the page listing all events, click on Create an event.
2. In the New event window, give a name to your event.
3. Then specify its start date and time.
4. 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.
5. Once all information is provided, click on Create.
   The edit page opens to let you further define the event.

Once the event is created, all changes are done on the edit page.

1. In the top section of the edit page, click on the edit icon  next to the event's name.
2. In the Event properties window, change the name if needed.
3. Edit the start date and time of the event if needed, and add the end date and time if you wish. Then, if you want to fix a maximum number of participants, specify the number. When a maximum capacity is defined, the registration period will end when either the end date or the maximum number of participants is reached.
4. To limit the registration period, check the related option - Limit registration period and specify the start and end dates and times. By default, registration starts as the event is published and ends when the event starts.
5. Note that languages can not be changed once the event has been created.
6. Click Save.
   Once saved, you will see that the event time line will be colored based on the specified dates - registration period in blue and event in green.

The registration workflow defines the sequence of possible actions.

The workflow starts with the registration link, which is inserted in the message or Web page where you are announcing the event. Clicking on this link opens the form.

You must therefore configure the form, as well as the various information pages that might display during the workflow. And depending on the selected options, other documents might need personalization.

**It is only once all these documents are configured that the event can be published.

Whatever the document, they all include three different sections, and each section can hold content elements.

Define the fields to be part of the form

Once the design of the form has been defined, you need to decide what information you want to collect from the people who will register to the event.

This definition is done on the Form configuration page, which lists all the project fields used in the registration form. You can add, edit and even delete fields, as well as add, edit or delete sections to hold these fields.

• Adding a Field to the Registration Form
• Editing a Field of the Registration Form
• Delete a Field from the Registration Form

Specify how contact information is updated

As the information provided when registration is done can be different from the information already contained in Dialog Insight when the contact exist in the application, it is important to specify how you want the registration information to be processed WHEN THE CONTACT IS ALREADY PRESENT IN THE APPLICATION. If the person registering is not a contact in Dialog Insight, a profile will be created and all registration information will be registered in the profile.

To indicate whether the existing contact's profile should be updated with the registration information, three options are offered:

Update Option	Description
Complete the profile	Only the new information provided during registration will be added to the contact's profile. Therefore, if a phone number already exists in the profile and one is provided during registration, it will not be saved and overwrite the phone number already in the profile.
Update profile	All the information provided during registration will be registered in the profile. So if a phone number is provided during registration, it will overwrite the one in the profile, if one exists, or be added to the profile if there was none.
Ignore changes	The information provided during registration will not be saved in the existing contact's profile, but new contacts will be created thus.

Enable the registration authentication process

If you want to be certain that the person that registers to an event is a real person, it is recommended that you enable the reCAPTCHA option so that a validation question is added to the form.

If the registration form is displayed under a domain name other than ofsys.com, you will first need to register the domain used on reCAPTCHA to get you private and public keys.

To register your site or domain with reCAPTCHA, go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#list and follow the instructions provided on screen. Once saved, reCAPTCHA will give you private and public keys that you'll need to enter in Dialog Insight.

To enable the authentication option

1. Check the Use Google Recaptcha option.
2. Click on Manage keys.
3. Choose your domain, if already configured. If not, click on Add a key to register your domain name or the page to display the registration form, and specify the public and private keys that were assigned by reCAPTCHA when opening an account.

See a preview of the registration form before publication

Before putting your event and registration form online, you want to make sure the registration form displays properly.

1. Go back to the edit page showing the registration workflow.
2. In the graphic, click on the registration link icon .
   
   

IMPORTANT - DO NOT USE the address shown in the address bar of the preview page; this address is NOT THE LINK to insert in your message or page to open the registration form. THIS IS ONLY A TEST PAGE. The real link of the registration form is shown once the event is published and displays below the Unpublish button.

Personalize confirmation messages

The registration workflow offers two confirmation options, one to the person who has registered to the event and the other for the person responsible for managing the event. Note that only the text of the confirmation message sent to the participant can be edited; the message for the administrator is predefined and cannot be changed.

Message	Description	Do not forget
Registration message	Message sent to the person who registered to confirm registration. A cancellation link is offered in case the person decides not to attend or cannot attend anymore. By cancelling the registration, the place will be freed for someone else. In addition, if the option Ask for confirmation was enabled, the message will also include a link for the person to officially confirm registration.	To do for each registration language: A subject for the message The name and email of the sender A link to cancel registration A link to confirm registration (if this option was enabled)
Registration notification	Message sent to the event administrator to let him/her know that a new person has registered. You must specify all administrators to whom you want to send registration notifications by clicking on the  icon next to the page icon. You can have only one recipient, or more. To add a new administrator, click Add a user and choose one in the list of users.	A subject for the message The name and email of the sender Select users to send notifications to

Creating messages related to an event is done the same way as any other messages in the Dialog Insight application. To see detailed instructions, refer to the topic Creating a Message Using Drag-and-Drop. In addition, some options are specific to events:

• The Event section that lists all document used in the registration workflow, that is the registration form, all information pages and confirmation messages.
• The Message section that lists the various versions of a message.
• The Colors section that lets you define default colors for texts, titles, and backgrounds in information pages.
• In the editor, a new type of link can be added in a message - Event workflow linkContest workflow link. With this link, you can insert in a message a link to any document of the registration workflow.

Configure the iCalendar file

The registration workflow also includes a calendar file (in .ics format), that lets you add the event in the default calendar of the registered person once registration is successful and confirmed, if this option was enabled.

To see an example of how the event would be displayed in a calendar, click on the  icon next to the file icon.

File	Description	Do not forget
Fichier iCalendar	File that lets you create a calendar event with the name and location of the event, the start/end dates and time, as well as a description of the event. By default, the information provided when creating the event will be displayed, but you can change it as needed by clicking on the edit icon of the zone. Once the event is online and registration is successful and/or confirmed, the event will be added to the calender of participants.	The name of the event The location The date and time

To be able to publish an event, the registration workflow must be complete and without errors. To help you in this validation, indicators are displayed in the registration graphic to show you where the error is. Furthermore, the Publish will be disabled if there are any errors or incomplete elements, so you won't be able to publish the event.

To check if elements are incomplete or in error, check the Incomplete elements and Errors options to see the related identified errors or warnings.

To see which part of the element is missing or in error, click on the element itself to open it in the editor and go to the Review page to see all the error and warning messages.

1. Once all elements are complete and with no errors, click on Publish .

Once published, the event will display in the list of online events, where you'll be able to select it to view it and see the number of registrations and other information.

Once all the registration process is configured as you need and want it, all that is left to do is to insert the link to open the registration form in the message announcing the event or on the site page where visitors can register.

There is a link for each form; so if you have a registration form in English and another one in French, you will have two different links. These links only display when the event is published and show just below the Unpublish button.
