Online Registration

Enlist Attendees for Future Meetings

By using either Checkboxes or Drop Down Menus as questions in an Online Registration, you can have people commit to attend a specific meeting or multiple meetings. The key is to put the Date/Time on the item.

Important

Drop Downs will allow a person to select only one item. So, use Checkboxes if you want the registrant to be able to select more than one option/meeting.

When a person selects an item with a Date/Time associated with it, here is what happens:

  • They will be enrolled in the Involvement (if they are not already a Member).

  • They will be added to the future Meeting with a Commitment of Attending.

  • They will be added to the Sub-Group for that Meeting.

Note

The Sub-Groups and the Meetings get created as people begin to register and select that specific option. They will not exist until someone completes a registration and has selected that option.

Use this to schedule leadership meetings or church-wide type of meetings for which you have a limited number of spaces at each meeting or just for meetings where you want people to sign up ahead of time. Both Checkboxes and Drop Down Menus can have a Limit and allow for a Date/Time.

Tip

Email a Register Link to those you want to attend so each recipient can register without signing in or searching for their record.

Create Registration

Like all Online Registrations, you must start with an Involvement, set the Registration Type to Join Involvement, and then add the Questions, the Confirmation, the Email From people, etc. You must have the Edit role.

Using for Volunteers

This option works well for scheduling volunteers on specific dates and times rather than every week.

For more about creating Checkboxes and grouping them using Headers, see the help article below.

Changing Someone’s Selection

If a registrant needs to make a change, you can update their selection.

Step 1

Go to the Involvement’s Meetings tab and check Show future, and then click the date for the meeting the person committed to attend.

Step 2

Check Editing and select Registered.

Then click on the actual commitment for that person - i.e. where you see the word Attending.

Change the commitment to Regrets or Uncommitted, either one is fine.

Step 3

Now go to the Meeting they want to attend by returning to the Meetings tab, checking Show future and clicking the date.

Check Editing and Register, and select All. Find the person in the list and click Uncommitted and change it to Attending.

Step 4

Go to the person’s Member Dialog, select the Groups tab and remove them from the first group they selected and add them to the new group - for the meeting they will attend.

Attendance

For these types of meetings, you will go to the Meeting itself (where you could mark attendance) and select Rollsheet Report from the Blue Toolbar. Only those Committed for that specific Meeting will print on the Roll Sheet.

If you check Allow Check-In on the Settings > Check-In tab, those enrolled in the Involvement will see a Meeting available for them, even if they are not registered for that Meeting.
