Use the same registration form for multiple sessions or retreats: connect and disconnect sessions or retreats

This feature was requested by one of our users and it has improved the overall functionality of our application.

Why would you want to use the same registration form for multiple sessions or retreats? There are numerous reasons, such as:

1. Your parish hosts more than one session of the same kind (e.g. Alpha® or ChristLife™) that don't require unique registration forms.
   
2. One registration form for multiple sessions also gives participants an at-a-glance view of all sessions available. Participants can select the session that best fits their schedule, or plan to attend with another person.
   
3. A single registration form simplifies the management and registration of multiple sessions; freeing you up to build relationships with people; not juggle multiple registration forms.
   

Connecting sessions and/or retreats

1. Log in to the application and select the Encounter Sessions and Retreats icon.

2a. Select the desired session from the overview page by double-clicking it. Retreats can also be selected by clicking on the Retreats tab at the top of the page.

 

3. From the session overview page, click on Connect to other sessions link. Your sessions are now connected to a single registration form.

4a. A window will open with a list of available sessions and retreats. Select the session or retreat you would like to connect to your originally selected session.

4b. Click Connect.

5a. When clicking the registration link, a participant or volunteer can select which of the connected sessions or retreats to attend.

5b. Click the Continue button.

6. The participant will then complete the registration form and click Sign Me Up.

Disconnecting sessions and/or retreats

You may need to disconnect sessions if a connected session requires a unique registration form or the session is canceled.

The example below illustrates how to disconnect the session that was connected above.

1. Log in to the application and select the Encounter Sessions and Retreats icon.

2a. Select the desired session from the overview page by double-clicking it. Retreats can also be selected by clicking on the Retreats tab at the top of the page.

 

3. From the session overview page, select the Disconnect from Other Session link.

 

4. A confirmation screen will appear. A note explains what disconnecting these sessions will mean regarding the registration forms for each session. If you would still like to disconnect this session from the other, click Disconnect. If you do not want to disconnect the session, simply click the X at the top right of the window.
