When you place the Event Registration Form part on a web page, registration options appear on three separate pages. Each page includes a status bar so website users can view their progress as they complete the event registration process. Users can return to the previous or next page by clicking the button in the status bar.
Step 1 Selection — The first page of the event registration process displays event details from The Raiser's Edge such as the descriptions, start dates, and times for events. Website users select events to attend and the number of registrants, and if you include a field for donations, they can also make additional gifts. The summary of the user's selections at the bottom of the page dynamically updates as the user enters information.
Step 2 Registration — On the second page, website users enter details for all registrants. This includes entering contact information and selecting registrant options that are participant attributes in your database. For example, a registrant may select a t-shirt size or a diet preference for your event.
To copy contact information, users can select the Use this address for all registrants checkbox and click the Apply this to all registrants link for certain fields. After users enter registrant information for an event, links for the registrants appear on the next event, and users can click the links to autofill registrant information.
When you select to include participant attributes for an event type, users select these options for each registrant for each applicable event on the page.
Step 3 Payment — On the third page of the event registration process, the program renders the secure payment page on the Blackbaud server to process transactions for event registration payments. When website users select multiple events with multiple charges, the total cost automatically defaults on the secure payment page. For information about the secure payment page, see Secure Payment Page.
Note: When you include free events on the part and a website user only registers for free events, this page does not appear.
