Notas do Editor
This is the first half of the event-creation screen – it would have been too small to put the whole screen on one slide! Key points about info to enter on this form: Event name, location, and date, which will appear on the event page, URL of the event page, the option to have a progress bar for the event’s donations (click “show a fundraising progress bar” to enter a goal amount), adding images to the event page, contact info for event questions, and basic vs custom registration. Custom registration allows for different registration types (for instance, runner vs walker or adult vs child) including different registration fee prices).
Here’s the second half of the screen. Event description appears on the event page. Participant info is where you can choose whether or not to ask your registrants questions beyond name, email, and address (we automatically collect those 3 things from everyone who creates a fundraising page) – if you add extra questions, you can choose from common questions or add your own, and also add a liability waiver. On the right, you can specify the date registration shuts off and also allow fundraisers to join teams – if you choose to allow teams, you can also choose whether to allow fundraisers to create their own teams or whether you will create all the teams and they can merely select one to join. When you finish this in the live site, you’ll have a “Publish” button which will save your edits and they will then appear on the site.
Clicking “Edit Page” – seen on the upper image – will bring you to the second image shown here; they’re not displayed on the same screen.
This screen shows what you will see when you click “Make a button” – on the right is the editing area, and on the left is a live preview of your changes. That is what donors will see pop up on their screen when they click the donate button on your website.
This shows a little more detail on the configurator for the button. You can enter multiple giving levels to show your donors what different amounts can do – which can push a donor to give that little bit more – and if you click the “Advanced Features” link, it unfolds to show you these options. “Pay the Fee” refers to allowing donors to choose to cover the donation fee themselves, which they can also do on the main website.
