Managing Your Upcoming Events
Coordinate, Upcoming Events
There are several features on the web site which help you manage your upcoming events. These
features are not found under "Manage Events", they are found further down under "Coordinate".
This is because these features are available not only to members of your organization's official
team, but are also made available to any member who is designated as a coordinator on an upcoming
event.
Under "Coordinate", "Upcoming Events", you will find a link for each upcoming event which
you are coordinating. Note that an event must be posted to the calendar for it to appear here.
For all of your upcoming events, you have the following options:
- Reg: A simple list of your registrants in the order that they signed up
- Upd Reg: A detailed list of your registrants including the following options:
- Contact Attendees:
- Send an E-mail to Group: Send a text-only e-mail to all attendees
- E-Mail Address Extract for Group: Extract all the e-mail addresses, separated by commas, for easy
copy/paste into an e-mail. Use this when text-only e-mail isn't enough (ie. you want to include
an attachment)
- Send and Extract options for Paid and Unpaid Attendees: The same options as above
(send a text-only e-mail, or extract the addresses), but only select the Paid or Unpaid
attendees. These options appear only if the event is pre-paid through your organization.
- Update Attendees:
- Remove Registrant: Simply deletes the person from your list
- Remove as No Show: Deletes the person from your list and records a "no show" on their account
- *Move to Wait List: Moves the person from the registered list to the waiting list
- Remove for Non-Payment: Deletes the person from the list and sends them a notification that
they've been removed because you did not receive their payment
- Add Person to List: Not available here - feature is only available to members of the volunteer
team - see below
- Dtl List: A detailed list of your registrants which you can print
- Summ List: A summary list of your registrants for print - includes contact and emergency information
- Carpool List: A summary list of your registrants including travel plans
- Wait List: The waiting list for the event. Includes the following functions:
- Send an E-Mail to the Wait List for this event (in the orange bar at the top)
- Add to event: Moves the person from the waiting list to the registered list and sends them a notification
- Delete from List: Deletes the person from the waiting list (no notification e-mail sent)
- E-Mail: Creates an e-mail message for you which may contain a template defined
by your organization. Modify it however you wish and click "Send" to send the e-mail to everyone
on the registration list.
- Txns: View who has paid (top) and who has not (bottom) for a pre-paid event
- Event Waiver: A waiver/sign-in sheet containing the names of everyone with a filed
waiver on it to sign in at the top followed by any guests or children who must provide a
completed waiver at the event.
* Why doesn't the web site just add people from the waiting list automatically? There are a few
reasons:
- The web site can't tell if you have enough drivers or not, and if
you don't, you may choose to take people who are willing to drive before you
take others
- The web site can't tell if you want to add more than the maximum, which is possible
- The web site can't tell if you want to skip over someone on the list for any reason (for example,
they do not have the appropriate skills, they have no-shows on their account).
Other Features for Managing Your Event:
In addition to the features available under "Coordinate", you may also wish to do the following:
- Add Member to Event: Use the "Add Member to Event" link under the "Volunteer" area to add
someone to the event
- Double Bookings: You may check the "Double Bookings" report (under "Attendance Reports") to find
out if anyone is double-booked on your event (ie. also registered for another event). Here you will
find the following options:
- Notify Via E-Mail: Members receive automated e-mails when their either register for two events on
a specific date, or when they are moved from a waiting list to an event on a date that they already
are registered for something else. In these automated messages, they are asked to remove themselves
if they are double-booked. Sometimes they don't do that and remain double-booked. You can use this
"Notify Via E-Mail" link to send them a warning about the double-booking. The warning advises them
that if they do not correct their double-booked situation they may be removed or wait-listed from the
event.
- Remove: Remove the member from one event. No notification is sent.
- Wait List: Wait list the member for one event. No notification is sent.
- Remove All: Remove the member from all double-booked events. No notification is sent.
- Waitlist All: Wait list the member for all double-booked events. No notification is sent.
