How do I activate my event registration form?

Solution:

OK, so you've tested your event by entering some test registrations and everything looks good. You've reviewed your event for Common Pitfalls and tested your registration form. Now you're ready to activate your event to begin accepting live registrations.

To Activate your event:

1. On the Events tab, click the Title of the event you wish to activate..
2. Click the Activate button located in the top right corner. The Activate window will open.
   • You can also click the Status link (i.e. "Testing") in the Status column next to the event to open the same window.
3. When the Activate window opens, make the following entries:
   • Select your pricing option - Select the appropriate pricing to use for this event.
     • Apply pricing to all future events - Select this checkbox to use the selected price as the default price for all events that you activate in your account.
4. Click the Activate button to continue. The event status will be changed to Active status.
5. Now you can change some of the Additional Activation Options.
   • Remove Test Registrations - Select this checkbox to delete all test registration info that has been entered in this event.
     • Selecting this option starts your live registration with a "clean slate", and is highly recommended!
   • Automatically change status for your event at a later date/time - Select this checkbox to change the status of your event from Active to the selected status automatically, on the date/time you enter.
     • Example: You can set your event to a Sold-Out or Inactive status on a specific date to turn off online registrations. More about event statuses...
   • Publicize My Event - Select this checkbox to submit your event information to a number of web sites that list events.
     • This is a great way to increase traffic to your registration form and promote your event for free. More info...
6. Click the OK button when finished.

Additional Information:

• Once your event has been activated, you can still make limited changes to your event registration form. More info...
• You can change the status of the event at anytime, even after you have activated your event. Show me how...
