Registration – Registration Paths (Settings) • Note: Before you set up a “Registration Path” you must set

up “Registration Types”

• Registration paths will provide different experiences and

options for invitees when they register for the event.

– This where you can apply guest settings and guest fields

– Add Custom Questions

– Select Payment Types

– Allow use of discount code, etc.

– Pro-Tip: Create One Path and Duplicate it (Only Change Fields as

Needed)

Registration – Registration Pages• This is what the user sees when they register

Registration - Registration Questions• This is where you enter custom questions that you wish to

ask your attendees

Important:

Remember to

select which

registration path

**Shows

registration path

under question

Test Mode• Once you think you have everything

completed – move your event to test mode

– This will send you an e-mail and you can register

as many people in test mode as you like

(registrants will go away once event is launched)

• Once Launched – you cannot move back to

test)• https://support.cvent.com/apex/CommunityArticle?id=00000
