EventPro Software User Manual

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

This is where you will set defaults for online Exhibitor Registration and Booth Reservations, under two further sub-tabs:

•General

•Default Statuses/Exhibitor Types

 

General

 

Exhibitor Registration Password

Enter the Exhibitor Registration online password for this event. If a new Exhibitor uses this general Exhibitor Registration password, their Exhibitor Type will initially be set to the EPConnect Default Exhibitor Type selected below.

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

 

Make Registrations Mandatory

Select this Make Registrations Mandatory checkbox if Exhibitors are required to select a registration group while in the online wizard. If an Exhibitor attempts to continue the online registration wizard without selecting a registration group, they will be stopped at the Registrations page, and a dialog will inform them that they need to select a registration.

The message may say something like, "You must register for at least one registration group," but you can enter a custom Mandatory Registrations Validation Message in EPConnect Setup. See the topic New Exhibitor Registrations Page Definition under EPConnect Setup / Exhibitor Portal.

 

Make Booths Mandatory

Select this Make Booths Mandatory checkbox if Exhibitors are required to select a booth while in the online wizard. If an Exhibitor attempts to continue the online registration wizard without selecting a booth, a dialog will inform them: "You must register for at least one booth."  The Exhibitor will not be able to continue with online registration without selecting a booth.

 

Exhibitor Payment Gateway

If you have multiple online payment gateways set up in EPConnect, you can choose which Payment Gateway will be used for online Exhibitor 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/Exhibitor Types

 

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

•EPConnect Default Exhibitor Type: Select the Exhibitor Type that will be applied by default to all new Exhibitors who register through your EPConnect website.

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

•EPConnect Accept Exhibitor Status: Choose the Status that will be applied to Exhibitors who accept an event registration invitation via EPConnect.

•EPConnect Decline Exhibitor Status: Choose the Status that will be applied to Exhibitors who decline an event registration invitation via EPConnect.

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

 

The available Exhibitor Types are those you added to Edit Event (Edit Event Window / Exhibitor Setup / Exhibitor Types) that are flagged as "Available Online".

The available Exhibitor Statuses are those created in EventPro Setup (EventPro Setup / Exhibitors / Exhibitor Statuses) that are flagged as "Available Online".
