Registration / Subscription Activity Type Explained

Scenarios:

1. You want to create an activity for Registrations and Subscriptions

2. You want to understand how to add attendees to Registration Activity yourself

3. You want to understand how to move attendees between Registration Activity and other activity types

This document assumes you know the following:

• You have published your Minisite

• You know how to create a new activity type

Jump to the activity setup sections below, or start from scratch to understand the activity form details like the back of your hand!

The purpose of this activity type is to register and pay for one-off registration or seasonal fees and be sorted into teams if required. This setting is perfect for the collection of sports fees/subscriptions or any other registration costs.

Comparison with other similar activity types

Registration / Subscription activity type is very simplified compared with Team Sports and Classes and Lessons type of activities.

This activity type does not offer:

1. Customised Sessions and Costs

2. Advanced Booking and Invoicing settings

We suggest using Team Sports Activity type if you are a Team Sports activity provider and require sorting your attendees into teams.

Booking Settings

Sorting Into Teams

1. You can choose to sort the attendees into teams.

• If you have chosen this option - please select the attendee and move them to a team within the activity

• Another question will populate if you choose to sort everyone into teams - to inform parents that places can not be guaranteed until after teams have been confirmed

• Please see this help guide where Team Sorter is explained in detail.

We suggest using Team Sports Activity type if you require sorting your attendees into teams.

• If you choose not to sort everyone into teams - you will see a list of registered attendees with the activity:

2. You can choose to add attendees to a waiting list if the maximum number of allowed attendees has been reached

Invoice Settings

1. Choose Invoice Due Date

• At the time the registration is made which is invoicing in advance, or

Adding Attendees to Activity

Attendees can be added in bulk into a Registration / Camp activity.

Adding Attendees to Another Activity

It’s possible to use the Add to another activity option between Registration and other activity types (Team Sports, Classes and Lessons, Online).

A common use case for this might be to use a Registration activity to take registrations of interest prior to forming classes. Once registrations have been taken attendees and classes created, attendees can then be added into, for example, these Lessons and Classes activities and invoiced in bulk.
