Event Registration Feature

To create a new event in KidCheck:

1. Sign into your KidCheck admin account
2. Select the Event Registration tab
3. In the Events tab, select +Create New Event
4. Complete the details regarding your new event:
   • Give your event a name (this is how it will be displayed to the public)
   • Provide a location for the event (optional)
   • Assign your event to a Check-in Template (you may want to create your template first if it is a unique event)
   • Enter the event's date(s)
   • Provide a description or give more details about your event including time (optional)
   • Specify the dates when you want to allow people to register, and when registration closes
   • Specify an overall event capacity
   • Choose to limit capacity by each location (locations populate from the template your event is associated with)
   • Choose to require guardians to select a child's location when registering
   • Choose whether to display a fee for the event. If desired, create price discounts by:
     • Registration date (e.g. early bird registration discounts)
     • Multi-Child Discount (e.g. provide a discount to large families)
   • Choose whether or not you wish to accept online payments (requires a PayPal Business or Premier account, along with the PayPal Payments Pro Service)
   • When complete, select Save Changes

Once the event has been created, KidCheck generates a custom URL and QR code which you can email to parents or add on your website:

• When Parents follow the link, it will immediately take them to the KidCheck login page.  After they log in, it will bring them to a unique page for your event where they can select their children and complete registration.
• If the parent does not have a pre-existing KidCheck account, KidCheck will walk them through creating an account then register kids for the event in one workflow.

KidCheck's Event Registration makes it easy to ask guardians for additional information at the time of registration. You can ask for each child's t-shirt size, buddy requests, and more.  To create a custom field for your event:

1. Under the Event Registration tab, click on the name of the event, and select Edit Event
2. In the Custom Fields tab in the bottom section of the event, select +Add New Custom Field
3. Fill in the name field, description field, and choose to require the field to complete registration (optional)
4. Select the Save link to save the field
5. Select Save Changes

While registering, guardians will be prompted to complete custom fields for each child he/she registers. Admins can view responses to custom fields by visiting the Registered Kids list of an event or on the "Event Registration - Class Roster" report.

Attach documents for download when guardians view an event's info page. This is handy for helping parents easily access items like release forms and event flyers.

1. Under the Event Registration tab, click on the name of the event, and select the blue Edit Event button
2. In the Attached Documents area of the bottom section, select the Select button then choose the file from your computer
3. Customize the Document Display Name and Document Description
4. Select the Upload File button
5. Select Save Changes
6. The document can now be downloaded by guardians when viewing the event's unique URL
7. Click back return to your event info and confirm your attached document

To edit an existing KidCheck event:

5. Upon successful registration, a modal will open allowing you to email a registration receipt to the guardian
