Registration Types

Learn how to configure registration types and custom registration forms for a community event in PEARS.

Registration types define the ways participants can register for your event. Each type can have its own custom registration form, allowing you to collect different information depending on how the participant plans to attend.

1

Navigate to the Registration Types Tab

After completing the previous sections of the event workflow, PEARS takes you to the Registration Types page. You can also access it by opening an existing event and clicking the Registration Types tab in the progress panel.

2

Select Registration Types

Choose one or more registration types for the event by checking the available options. Common registration types include:

• Attended -- For participants who plan to attend the event.

• Not Attending -- For participants who want to register their interest but will not attend.

Additional registration types may be available depending on your organization's configuration.

TIP: You must select at least one registration type before the event can be published. Selecting multiple types gives registrants the ability to choose how they will participate.

3

Configure a Custom Registration Form (optional)

For each registration type, you can customize the registration form that participants will complete. Click the Edit Form button next to a registration type to open the form builder.

In the form builder, you can:

• Add custom fields to collect additional information from registrants.

• Rearrange fields to control the order they appear on the form.

• Mark fields as required or optional.

• Remove fields that are not needed for this registration type.

Save Registration Types

Click Save and Continue to save your registration type selections and proceed to the next step.

To save without continuing, click the Save button instead.

NOTE: Changing registration types after the event has been published may affect existing registrations. Review your registrations before modifying the available types.

TIP: If you change the event's end date, any registration type deadline that falls after the new end date is automatically moved back to match. This prevents registration deadlines from extending past the event itself.

Continue to the Next Step

After configuring registration types, click the Save and Continue button. If the event has fees, the next step is Event Payment. Otherwise, you will proceed to Confirmations.
