Registration Types¶
The Registration Type is set from a dropdown menu on the Registration > Registration tab of an Involvement. You must have the Edit role to change it. The main types for regular online registrations are
Join Involvement
User Selects Involvement
Compute Involvement By Birthday
The default is No Online Registration.
Basic Registration¶
- Join Involvement
For this type, each Involvement has its own link (URL) and the registrant is enrolled in the Involvement. The registrant is not presented with a dropdown list of choices, nor are they placed in an Involvement based on age and/or gender.

Master Involvement Style Registrations¶
- User Selects Involvement
For this type, the link (URL) is from a Master Involvement and not each individual Involvement. The registrant is presented with a list of Involvements from which to pick. The registrant is enrolled in the Involvement selected.
- Compute Involvement By Birthday
For this type, the link (URL) is from a Master Involvement and not each individual Involvement. The registrant is enrolled in the correct Involvement based on their date of birth and, optionally, gender.
Note
If a person is in the database, but does not have a date of birth on their record, they will see a message that no Involvements are available based on their date of birth.
- Manage Subscriptions
For this type, the link (URL) is from a Master Involvement and not each individual Involvement. The registrant sees a list of checkboxes, such as newsletters, and checks a box to subscribe. They can return to the page later and uncheck a box to unsubscribe. The registrant is enrolled in each Involvement they check, so one registration can enroll them in several Involvements.
