The process to create an event has a lot of moving parts, and it’s essential to include all the right information in them. The Event Wizard is a tool designed with your staff in mind. This gives administrators an easy way to train the rest of the team on how to create events.

You might be thinking, “When would I ever need to use this tool?” Great question. The fact is you don’t need this tool to create event registrations, but once you see its capabilities, you’ll be asking, “Why would we ever create events any other way?”

Overview

Creating events involves much more than the event details. Events include but are not limited to, registrations, groups, calendar occurrences, and well... finances.

Let’s jump right in and look at this tool, and all it has to offer.

Take the Step

Summer is coming, and that means camp is right around the corner. You’ve had camps in previous years, so the registration template is solid with everything a registration needs for this event to be successful. This year, you and the rest of the administrative staff have decided to pass the baton to staff members to create their registrations in Rock. This is a huge deal, pat yourself on the back for this great handoff.

But wait! The Students Director isn’t the most tech savvy person to be creating registrations in Rock. Are you sure this is a good idea? Yes, it’s still a good idea; in fact, it’s the best idea you’ve had in a while. It takes five simple steps to create a typical registration, and some of these steps are even optional.

Administrators have no fear, check out the Event Wizard Block Properties section for details on customizing this tool for the whole staff. As for the rest of your staff, use the below steps for training purposes on using this tool.

Step-by-Step Guide

Ted Decker has recently stepped into the temporary role of overseeing all students’ and kids’ events, and they are making plans for this year’s summer camp. With all the details in hand, Ted is going to log into his Rock account and begin creating the registrations for camp.

He’ll open the Event Wizard page (that you have so kindly configured for him) and he’ll begin by choosing the registration template. Mentioned above, the registration templates will already be created and ready for use. If for some reason someone needs a different template, you’ll want to create that for them and make sure it’s allowed on their Event Wizard block settings.

Follow along the step-by-step settings on the Event Wizard below.

The rest of this document provides more details for the steps above with some additional settings that can be set. However, this tool will get any event off the ground and ready for registrants.
