When using the New Registration process in Attendee Online, you will typically not have the attendees' information recorded. You will provide a link that interested parties can follow to register for the event. See Inviting Registrants to Attendee Online. During the registration process in Attendee Online, the registrant will enter their contact information (e.g. Name, Email Address), and other details you have requested. Remember that you set up the online event pages in Editing Online Event Information.
| 1. | When you click the New Registration link on the main Attendee Online page, you will be asked to log in. Enter the Event # (the booking number of the event) and Password. Click Log In. |
The Event Password is set up in the Online Event [Edit] window. See Editing Online Event Information: General. You can also set up different passwords for each attendee type in the event; see Chapter 5: Set Up an Event, Attendee Setup: Attendee Types.
Remember that registrants will probably not see this page, as you can provide a link that will send them directly to the Welcome page (see Inviting Registrants to Attendee Online).

This is the page where registrants will usually begin, if you sent the correct link as described in Inviting Registrants to Attendee Online.
You can determine what appears on this page in Editing Online Event Information: Page Options, Welcome. Also, the general appearance of all pages is set in Editing Online Event Information: Page Options, General.

Also, remember that you have an option to set a Conflict Check for registration items.

See Configuring Attendee Online: General Settings.

If you attempt to register for a group or function that is full, you will receive an error indicating that the maximum attendance for the registration group or item (function) has been exceeded.
