Creating Signup Configurations

Signup configurations allow you to:

• specify the sender’s name and email address
• choose whether to send email notifications
• set up custom email notifications
• set up custom sign up forms and manage signup events

The Event Calendar add-on comes with the default signup configuration called “Standard signup”.

To create your own signup configuration:

1. In the Content perspective, expand Website Items and select Event signup configuration.
2. Click Add Data on the toolbar.
3. On the Settings tab, provide the required information in these fields:
   • Configuration name: The name of this signup configuration
   • Sent-from e-mail: The e-mail address used for the 'from' field in emails
   • Sent-from name: The name used for the 'from' field in emails
4. If necessary, provide the optional information in these fields:
   • Internal notification e-mail: When specified, notifications of new signups will be sent to this email address. Separate multiple e-mail addresses with a semi-colon (";").
   • Send e-mails to participants: When selected, emails will be sent to the person signing up. The participant will also be notified about queue changes and cancelations.
   • Cancelation link text: The text to show in the 'cancel signup here' link in emails.
