How to set up your first Registration Form

Set Up Your First Registration Form

The Registration Form in Cadence allows you to collect specific information from attendees during the registration process. Through the Registration Menu › Settings section, you can enable event registration, determine registration type, set capacity limits, and configure other essential settings before creating your form questions in the Form tab.

When to use

  • When setting up a new event's registration process
  • When you need to collect specific information from attendees
  • When controlling who can register for your event
  • When managing event capacity through registration

Before you start

You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify registration settings.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
    Navigate to your event dashboard.
    Click on "People" in the left sidebar menu.
    Select "Registration" from the submenu that appears.
    Ensure "Enable Event Registration" is toggled on.
Disabling this setting will remove the registration option from your event entirely.
    Select a "Registration Type" from the dropdown menu.
Choose "Public - Open Registration" for events open to anyone, or select a private option to restrict access.
    Enter a "Registration Page URL Short Name" that will appear in your registration link.
This creates a custom URL for your registration page (e.g.,  myevent.eventcadence.com/e/short-name ).
    Set an "Attendee Capacity" if you want to limit the number of registrants.
    Check "Set a Registration Close Date & Time" if you want registration to automatically close on a specific date.
    Enable "Registration Confirmation Emails" to send automatic confirmations to registrants.
    Click "Save" at the bottom of the page to apply your settings.
    Click on the "Form" tab at the top of the page to begin creating your registration questions.

Troubleshooting

If your registration page isn't accessible after configuration, verify that:
  • "Enable Event Registration" is toggled on
  • You've selected the appropriate Registration Type
  • Your Registration Page URL Short Name doesn't contain special characters
