Modifying Event Settings under Event Options

The Event Options page (Plan > Configure > Options) allows you to configure Event settings and turn Modules on or off for each Event.

The majority of the Settings have been configured in Templates and on Account Settings because the Settings are based on the services you have purchased.

There are a few Settings and Modules that you may modify specifically for your Event, such as Automatic Event Waitlisting, Custom Registration Properties, and Functional Areas.

Automatic Event Waitlisting

Automatic Event Waitlisting enables Registrants to be automatically waitlisted when an Event reaches Event Registration Capacity.

Waitlisted Registrants are then registered automatically when spaces become available.

Enabling Automatic Event Waitlisting allows Certain to automatically process waitlisted Registrations for your Event.

Custom Registration Properties

Custom Registration Properties are flags (Yes or No values) that enable tracking whether or not particular actions have been performed on a Registration.

Custom Registration Properties are displayed in the Registration Information section at the bottom of each Attendee's Profile page.

Example

Some Registrants may need a visa letter to attend your Event.

Create a Custom Registration Property labeled "Visa Letter Sent".

After you have sent the visa letter, select the "Visa Letter Sent" checkbox on the Attendee's Profile Page.

(Default is unchecked)
