Create a registration event that people can sign up for online and manage event details, calendars, and check-in options.

1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Realm. Then click Registration Events > Upcoming.
2. Click +Add Event.
3. In the Basics section, complete the information fields and set an event date.
   1. Optional: After you've entered information into the Description text box, you can click to use the writing assistant.
4. If you want to associate the event with a ministry area or group, click the Associated Ministry Area/Group drop-down menu and select the ministry area or group. To view and select a group, click next to the ministry area name.
   • Registration events that are associated with a ministry area or group will display on the registration events list as well as the event list for that group or ministry area.

   • Registration events associated with a ministry area or group can't be removed from that ministry area or group unless you cancel the event.

   • Staff-only groups can't be associated with a registration event.
5. If you have already created custom calendars, you can add the event to an existing calendar. Click the Add to Calendar(s) drop-down menu and select each calendar.
   • If you associated the event with a ministry area or group that is a part of one or more calendars, the event will automatically be added to these calendars.
   • You will see the calendar names the event was automatically added to in an info box below the Add to Calendar(s) drop-down menu. If you select additional calendars from the list, they will also display in the info box.
   • You can't remove these associated calendars through the event add or edit, and the calendar names will be grayed out in the Add to Calendar(s) drop-down list.
   • You can remove the event from a calendar by going to the calendar and removing it there.
6. In the Location section, select whether the event is in-person only, virtual only, or both. If your event is meeting online, enter the online meeting link and a meeting passcode if needed.
7. To add an image, click +Add a photo for this event, then select the image file.
   There isn't a required size or dimension for event images. You can edit the image and resize it after you upload it. However, the image will be used as the event page banner, so a larger image will display better.
8. To edit the event photo, click on the image you want to change. Use the left scroll bar to rotate the image and the right scroll bar to resize the image. Then, click Apply.
9. In the Status section, choose whether the event is hidden or public. If you make the event public, enter the public registration dates and select whether to display the event on the events list.
10. If you want to enable mobile check-in for this event, turn the Enable mobile check-in option on. Then, select the type of mobile check-in the event will use.
11. To customize the email sent to registrants, click Customize Confirmation Email. Enter your custom text in the text boxes, then click Save. If you need to restore the default email wording, click Reset to default content.
12. In the Advanced Options section, you can enter a maximum number of registrants, select whether to allow guests, enable the memo field for registrants, and select event tags.
13. To allow signed-in registrants to bring additional guests during sign-up, select Allow Guests.
    People who register using the public event link always appear as guests, regardless of whether this setting is on or off. Allow Guests only controls whether a logged-in registrant can add additional people during their own registration. See Allow Guests Option.
14. Click Save Event.
15. If the event is public, you can choose whether to share the event on the newsfeed. You can share immediately, or set it to share on a future date.
    If you share to the newsfeed immediately, you have the option to turn off notifications. However, if you set the event to share at a later date, this will automatically send notifications.
