Public View: Register for an Event

How the public registration experience works for community events in PEARS.

This article describes the public-facing registration experience that participants see when registering for a community event.

TIP: If a registrant visits the registration link for an event that has already ended, they see a friendly "not open for registrations" message instead of an error page.

1

Find the event

From the organization's public event page, find the desired event and click Register Now to begin the registration process.

TIP: The public event list includes a Status filter (Any, Open, Closed) that lets registrants narrow the list to events still accepting registrations. Event cards also display a Registration Full or Registration Closed badge so the registrant can tell at a glance whether they can sign up before opening the event detail page.

2

Enter attendee information

The registration form requests the attendee's name and email. Select whether you are registering as a Participant or registering on behalf of someone else. Click Continue to advance.

3

Complete additional fields

Provide any additional details required by the organization. Required fields are marked with red asterisks. The specific fields vary by event. Click Next after completion.

4

Register additional people (optional)

If the event allows group registrations, indicate whether you are registering additional people by selecting Yes or No. Choosing Yes prompts you to enter their information; selecting No advances you to the next step.

TIP: If the event organizer has not enabled group registrations, this step is skipped and you proceed directly to the review page.

5

Review and pay

Review all attendees, subtotal, and total costs on the order summary page. Apply promo codes if applicable. To remove a promo code that has been applied, click the Delete button next to the code. Select your preferred payment method using the Pay With button. Click Complete Registration to submit.

TIP: Review specific payment instructions for each method. For example, checks may need to be made payable to a specific organization.

6

Confirmation

A "You're Going" confirmation page displays with registration and event details. You can edit your registration before the deadline or add the event to your calendar using Save the Date.
