Register an Attendee from the Back Office
print icon

There are several ways to register an attendee from the back office: the event's Overview tab Registration section, the Attendees tab's Add Registration button, the Attendee Setup tab's Registration Link section section, and on the Event module event list (card view only).

 

Did you know? Registering an attendee from the back office can recognize your staff login and override any restrictions or settings you may have set for your registrants. For example, you may have invoicing turned off for an event, but if you register an attendee from the back office, you WILL be able to issue an invoice instead of paying immediately with a credit card. To test your settings for actual registrants, use the "Register (As Non-Staff)" option in the Registrations section of the event's Overview tab or the Attendee Setup tab's Overall Registration Options area; this will hide your staff admin permissions from the webpage and give you the "true" registration experience.

 

Overview tab Registration

  1. For the desired event, find the Registrations section on the Overview tab.

  • Register (As Staff) will recognize your staff login and override any restrictions or settings you may have set for your registrants. For example, this will override many of the restrictions you may have in place such as member vs nonmember pricing, will display any staff-only registration types, and will allow you invoice an attendee even if invoicing is turned off for your registrants.

  • Register (As Non-staff) will open the event registration window and prompt for an email to match, just as any standard registrant would experience. If invoicing is not enabled for the event, only the credit card payment option will display.
