Event Signups

Any event that is added to the church wide calendar (see: Staff Resouces --> Create content --> Calendar Event) has the ability to allow people to "Sign Up" for that event. Signing up for an event does a couple of things:

1. for the person signing up, it sends them an email about the event and will also send another email 2 days before the event as a reminder.

2. for the person who created the event, it allows them (You must be signed in and be designated as Staff) to see who has signed up for their event and also allows them to send additional emails to those signed up (i.e. the event has had a change in time or is cancelled).

For the Staff member, to see who has signed up for an event, go to Staff Resources --> Signups. On that page you will see a list of events with column headers such as Title, Signups, Limit, Status and Operations. The columns that are highlighted in blue can be sorted by clicking on them - to sort by the staus of open/closed, click on the word Status at the top of the column, each time you click on it will change the order it sorts the information.

If you see that your event has people signed up (a number greater than 0 in the Signups column), click on View Signups in the Operations column:

 After clicking on the View Signups link you will be taken to that events signup tracking page.

Clicking on the administer link will list who is signed up for this event:

On this page you can also send a message or "broadcast" to those who have signed up by clicking on the signup broadcast link. You can also track who attended on this page and it will be stored in the database. (only viewable by Staff members.)
