EventPro Software User Manual

Under the Online Registration Settings tab, there is an Attendee Settings sub-tab.

This is where you will set defaults for online Attendee Registration, under three further sub-tabs:

•General

•Default Statuses/Attendee Types

•Function Statuses

 

General

 

Attendee Registration Password

Enter the Attendee Registration online password for this event.

If a new Attendee uses this general Attendee Registration password, their Attendee Type will initially be set to the EPConnect Default Attendee Type selected below.

However, note that you can also set a unique password for each Event Attendee Type. If a new Attendee uses a Type-specific password, their Attendee Type will initially be set to that corresponding type.

 

EPConnect Banner Image

This field allows you to set a custom image for each online event.  If you want to specify a unique banner image for this event, click to open the drop-down, right-click for the speed menu, and select Load.

 

Make Registrations Mandatory

Select this Make Registrations Mandatory checkbox if Attendees are required to select a registration group while in the online wizard.

If an Attendee attempts to continue the online registration wizard without selecting a registration group, a dialog will say that they need to register for at least one group. The message text is defined in the New Attendee Details - Page Definition.

The Attendee will not be able to continue with online registration without selecting a registration group.

 

Register Button to Auto Login

Select this Register Button to Auto Login checkbox if you want the Register button on the Home page event grid to automatically log in the registrant. When the registrant clicks the Register button, they will skip the login credentials page, and go directly to the online registration wizard.

If you do not select this checkbox, when the registrant click the Register button, they will need to enter an event password on the Select Event page before proceeding to the online registration wizard.

 

Attendee Payment Gateway

If you have multiple online payment gateways set up in EPConnect, you can choose which Payment Gateway will be used for online attendee registration payments in this Event.

If you do not select a Payment Gateway here, EPConnect will use the Default Gateway from your EPConnect Payment Settings.

 

Default Statuses/Attendee Types

 

Under the Default Statuses/Attendee Types tab, you will set the defaults that will be applied to Attendees registering online for this event.

•EPConnect Default Attendee Type: Choose the Attendee Type that will be applied by default to all new Attendees who register through your EPConnect website.

•EPConnect Default Attendee Status: Choose the Status that will be applied by default to all new Attendees who register through your EPConnect website.

•EPConnect Guest Attendee Type: Choose the Type that will be applied by default to all Guests registered by attendees via EPConnect.

•EPConnect Payment Attendee Status: Select the Status that will be applied to an Attendee by default when a payment has been successfully made online.
