Notifications
This area controls how emails are dealt with on a per event basis. If you don’t need to control the individual events emails, and are happy to use the same ones across all your events, you can happily ignore this section.
There are 3 main emails for the event:
Payment Email
this is sent when payment has been made
Registration Email
This is sent after the user registers regardless of payment status (see the Settings section for an override option)
Resend Registration Email
This is sent via the Attendee Overview section
By default the event will use the emails created in the Messages area, but you can swap these to a custom email by clicking the Switch to Custom Templates button.
When you do this, a pop up will appear and you can create the custom email. This email will only be useable by this particular event and cannot be allocated to another event.
Event Registration Options
These control important aspects of the event.
Active Status
Shows the current status for an event. A status will appear as Active, Upcoming, Postponed, Inactive, Sold Out, Expired, or Cancelled. Please see the help tab in the for a list with definitions of the event statuses.
Maximum number of tickets allowed per order for this event
Control how many tickets can be purchased in a single order. If the ticket limit allows, the ticket quantity selector will allow a quantity selection up to what’s set here.
Display Ticket Selector
Show the ticket selector or don’t. This can be useful to set to no when registration isn’t required to attend an event.

Questions for Primary Registrant
Here you can select which question groups are shown to the Primary Attendee during registration. The default Personal Information question group is always selected.
If you have any other question groups created they will show here, and you can select them as necessary.
Questions for Additional Registrants
Just like the questions for the Primary Attendee, here you can select question groups to be shown to the Additional Attendees. These questions are overruled by the Additional Attendee Registration info option above, so even if you select all the question groups here, if the Additional Attendee Registration info option is set not to show them, then the will not appear in the registration form.
