Posted by: Team Active at 1:08:15 PM
You may have already used Active's online event registration forms to collect attendee data and payment but have you had a look at our free website builder? Clients that collect online registrations through Active's event management platform also have access to a robust website publishing system. Plublicise your event with a free event website and include your event details, event images, event schedule, contact information, links to your sponsors, integrations with all the popular social media channels and more. Active enables you to instantly publish your free website to the web and submit it to all the major search engines - all with no hosting fees or experience with HTML code or web design needed.

You can find the website builder in your Regonline manager. Select the event you would like to build a website for and click the "Event Website" tab on the navigation bar.

Increase Entries with a Web Button
Posted by: Team Active at 11:37:36 AM
Web buttons have proven to increase entries by as much as 67%. Using a web button will make online registration for your event or club more accessible than ever before, giving you an increase in participation. Here are step-by-step instructions on how you can easily create your own web button with Active’s event management software:
  1. Log into your Active RegOnline Account.
  2. Click on the event you would like to create a web button for.
  3. Click on “Button Designer” under Additional Resources.

Add a Registration Form to Your Website
Posted by: Team Active at 3:03:28 PM
With Active's online event registration form creator, it's easy to build and place your custom online registration form on a page of your organisation's website.  The technology is called "iFrame" and it's easy for any event planner or their webmaster to use.

Once you have built your event registration form, find the Button Designer tool which is located under the Functions tab...

Then select the iFrame function...

The form builder will automatically generate the iFrame code...

Simply copy and paste this code into a page on your event website.  The online registration form will frame itself on the page with all of the design and navigation elements that appear across the rest of your site.  This feature is really great because the registrant will fill out the form without ever having to leave your event site!

Automated Bib Number Assignment
Posted by: Team Active at 1:47:12 PM
Active’s bib number tool reduces the administrative work normally associated with race number allocation and event packet distribution.  This tool allows you to set your number sequences at the event level or down to the registrant type, and then automatically allocates a number to each participant at the moment of registration submission.  Real-time number allocation means that your administrative staff can stuff event packets as you go and not put off the work until batches of data are exported and numbers manually allocated.  Also, with the event registration system doing the work, you are guaranteed that two bib numbers will never be used twice – a common error with spreadsheets of manually allocated numbers.

The bib number tool is located under the Functions tab in the Additional Resources section.

Bib Numbering Tool

Simply set your number sequences and activate the tool to start automatically allocating numbers to your registrants.

Bib Number Sequences

Bib number data is available in all standard and custom reporting.  You can also merge the bib number in all confirmation and follow-up emails.

Cross-Event Reports
Posted by: Team Active at 12:34:00 PM

If you host a series of events, our event management software has a cross-event reporting feature that makes it easy to track your participants across multiple events.  Just as you have standard and custom report options for each of your events, you can also build reports that will include data collected across all or any number of your online registration forms.  Just select the cross-event feature from the left nav bar and build out a report just as you would for any individual event.  Reports created here will be applied across multiple events.
