Creating a Basic Registration Continued

Now that you have created a very simple registration, here's how you can add a few features.

This is covered in the webinar "Online Registrations 101" on 10/20/11. Click here to view the recorded version. Click here to view the Registration Settings article.

We are continuing what was begun in the previous article (Creating a Basic Registration).

NOTE: If you have not reviewed the first Basic Registration document, click here to see that. If you are interested in creating the type of registration that displays a drop down of orgs from which the registrant can choose, click here for the wiki documentation.

Here's how you can add some further questions to your form:

Go to the Organization for which you created the basic registration.

Click on the Settings tab and then select Questions.

For a question that can be answered with text, check the box beside AskRequest and enter your question. Note: this is not required. They can register without answering the question. It is a good place for a teammate or coach request or a roommate request for camp.

Their answer will appear on their Member Dialog box beside the label Request. It also appears in the Member Export and Group Export in the column labeled Request.

For Yes/No questions, also on the Questions tab, click Add Item and enter your question in the Description field and the name of the small group in the SmallGroup field. These questions require and answer and will place the person in a small group based on their answer.

To create Dropdowns (also on the Questions tab), enter a brief instruction in the Label field and click Add Item for each dropdown option you want to add. Enter the option in the Description (this is what they will see) and a shorter name in the SmallGroup field (this will be the name of the small group inside the organization). Continue clicking Add Item and entering the Description and SmallGroup for each item you want to appear in the Dropdown. The registrant obviously can select only one item.

Note: you can create up to 3 different dropdowns.

To create Checkboxes (also on the Questions tab), follow the instructions above for creating Dropdowns. The difference is that the person may select multiple items in the Checkboxes. You can require a Minimum and restrict to a Maximum by entering a number in those fields. You may leave them blank if you want them to be able to check all or none of them.

Note: you can create up to 2 sets of checkboxes.

Be sure you Save Changes before you leave the tab.

To insert an image in the Confirmation, select the Messages tab under the Settings. Click Edit and then click inside the Body of the Confirmation. Put your cursor where you want your image, then click the Image icon in the toolbar. Click on the Upload tab, the click Choose File (this will allow you to select an image stored on your computer) and then click Send it to the Server. You will see the URL once it has finished. Adjust the Width to 500 and then click OK. Click Save and the Save Changes on the tab.
