You will now have access to Version 3 of the Event Signup feature – “consolidated registration”. This will be the registration type you should use moving forward.
The consolidated registration
- Lists each member in your Roster separately in the Attendee list – no more wondering which scout or adult is attending in a family
- If you are using Individual Accounts, it will automatically provide you with a list of family members to register
- If you are using Shared Accounts, it will ask you to select a family member first then provide the list of family members
- Members can easily use checkboxes to say if each member will be attending the event
- Individual notes for each member
It also has these additional features
- Regrets ! You can now see who is and who is not coming to an individual event
- Guest registration is now an option you can turn on/off
- Event Signup management – Administrators, Leaders option, individually defined accounts on a per event basis !
- Single price for an entire family
- Option to use the Den/Patrol Filter assigned to the Event to limit registration
- Attendee List sort options – By Name, By Date, By Type (Scouts/Adults), By Den/Patrol
- A shopping cart built directly into your SOAR website
- Your members will stay on your SOAR website through the shopping experience until they are ready to checkout.
All existing Event Signups of type “By Family” and “By Individual” that you have already started will run to their conclusion. You do not need to do anything to these existing event registrations.
Until October 17th, 2011 you can create new Event Signups of old and new types to assist you with learning about the new features and transitioning your members to the new Consolidate format.
After 30 days, all new Event Signups will be of the Consolidated type. Existing events already setup with registration will continue to function as you defined them for the duration of the event.
