In the management area, under Organization, select Registration.
Click Manage beside the registration form.
Ensure that you have entered on the Settings page:
– a short title for badges
– the location
– a contact
If not, you will not be able to open registration and the buttons for opening it will remain inactive as per below example.
Schedule Registration
Click Schedule.
Enter a start and end date for the registration period.
Click Schedule and the registration period will open and close automatically on the dates set.
Modification Deadline
When you create your event, you can elect to allow registrants to modify their registration forms (found under the General settings of the registration form concerned).
Options available to registrants for modifying registration forms
If you select NEVER, then registrants may not make any modifications.
If you select UNTIL APPROVED, then once approved, registrants may not make any modifications.
If you select UNTIL MODIFICATION DEADLINE, when you schedule the opening and closing of registration and enter a modification deadline (it may never be a date before closure of registration but may be a date after actual closure of the event and the registration period), registrants may make modifications up to that date, even if approved.
If you select UNTIL MODIFICATION DEADLINE, when you schedule the opening and closing of registration and then omit to enter a modification deadline, the closing date of registration is taken as the modification deadline and registrants may make modifications, even if approved.
It is recommended that if you use a modification deadline, you enable Notifications for managers (found under the General settings of the registration form concerned). In this way, if a registrant (even if approved) makes a modification, you get alerted to it and can check it.
Start Now
If you opt to select Start now, the registration period opens immediately. However, you will have to remember to manually close it at some point as no end date has been set. And if you have set the event to modification allowed (found under the General settings of the registration form concerned), registrants will be able to modify their registrations until such time as registration closes (even if approved).
