Prerequisites
- The event is “Public”.
- You created the event or have the permission “Edit all events”.
Who may do this?
The event leadership (creator or the permission “Edit all events”) enables the trial session. Only the event leadership sees the registrants’ details.
Step by step
Make the event public
A trial session works only for a public event. Set the visibility to “Public” under “Edit”.
Allow the trial session
Open the section “Trial session for interested people” on the event page, switch on “Trial session allowed” and set the “Spots for trial participants”. They are separate from the members’ spots. Click “Save”.
Share the link
Copy the “Public registration link (for notice board, website, social media)” with “Copy link” and share it.
Follow the registrations
You see “Registrations: … of … spots taken” and who is on the waiting list. With “Remove” you take out a registration. When a spot becomes free the waiting list moves up.
You can find the feature here: /termine/<id>
Common errors and solutions
- “A trial session only works for a public event. Set the event’s visibility under “Edit” to “public”.”
- Change the visibility as described.
- “Saving did not work.” / “Removing did not work.”
- Try again.
- A registrant shows “Email not confirmed yet”.
- They must confirm the link in the email. Only then do they appear as “Spot confirmed” or “Waiting list”.
Good to know
- Name and email are stored encrypted and visible only to the event leadership. They are deleted automatically at the latest 30 days after the event, immediately on cancellation.
- If you switch off “Trial session allowed”, all registrations are deleted.
