Event Package Forms

From Web, you can create and manage web forms to allow website users to register for event packages.

Note: The event package form only applies to programs that require registration and contain event packages. To sell tickets to programs that do not contain packages, use the program form or event registration form.

Your event package forms can complement your organization’s existing website. For example, you can link to event package forms from your website. Other than the links, this requires no changes to your website, and when an event ends, you can simply remove the form from the web and its link from your site.

Note: Each form appears on a web page with a standard design and format. Each form also shares a shopping cart, home page URL, and acknowledgement email message. To configure these settings, go to Web and select the tasks under Configuration. For information about these options, see Design Web Pages, Browser Settings and Home Page URL, Web Payment Settings, and Design Acknowledgement Email.

To create event package forms, go to Web and select Manage event package forms. The grid displays your organization’s preregistered programs with event packages and their associated events.

To enable event package forms and manage existing web forms, select packages in the grid and use the buttons on the Manage Event Package Forms page. If Allow patrons to register for individual events sold online or through Daily Sales is selected on a package record, you can also select events in the grid to manage web form settings for the individual events.

  • To open a package or event record, select the name in the Name column.

  • To edit a package or event’s properties, select Edit, Package or Edit, Event.

  • To edit the description for a package or event web form, select it and select Edit, Description.

  • To create a web form, select Approve for website. If the package or event has an active web form, a green checkmark appears under Live on website. The URL appears with the event details in the grid, and website users can access this URL to register for the package or event.

Note: If Allow patrons to register for individual events sold online or through Daily Sales is selected on a package record, you'll need to approve each individual event you want to sell on the website.

  • To remove a package or event registration form, select Exclude from website. The record still exists in the database, but its web form is no longer active. If users attempt to access its URL, Altru redirects them to the home page that you enter on the Website URL screen. For information about the home page, see Browser Settings and Home Page URL.

  • To configure options for package and event forms, such as the price types to display and how many attendees website users can register, select Options. When you approve an event for the website, it inherits default settings, but you can edit these settings as necessary for each form. For more information, see Configure options for an event package form.

  • To create a custom default acknowledgment email, select the item in the grid, and select Acknowledgment email, Edit. For information about the Acknowledgement screen, see Design an acknowledgement email message.

  • To filter the events in the grid by name, status, or date, use the filter tool.
