Online Registration

Online Registration Settings

Administrative Settings

There are a couple of administrative settings that affect the way online registrations work.

RegTimeout

By default, registration pages time out after 3 minutes with no activity. The value is in milliseconds (default 180000). Increase it if necessary. The TimeOut setting on an Involvement’s Registration > Registration tab overrides this value for that registration.

RegisterRelatedFamilies

By default, a registrant can register other members of their own family during the registration process. Set this value to 1 to also allow registering members of the registrant’s related families. Set it to 2 to include the related families of those related families.

Online Registrations are set up using the Settings and Registration tabs on an Involvement. You must have the Edit role to change these settings.

Below is a list of each of the tabs on an Involvement relating to settings and registrations. The brief explanations included are far from all-inclusive. Please refer to the links in the See also messages relating to each setting.

Settings > General

This tab contains basic information about the Involvement, such as the Location and the Gender used with Compute Involvement By Birthday registrations. Not everything on this tab relates to online registrations.
