Registration

Using the Salutor system, you offer a convenient online registration to all users. If such a need occurs, you can also carry out the registration process directly from the Back Office module or collect and process data specific to visitors and journalists.

• Configuration

  During the registration process, you define and configure the following parameters:

  • type of registration – What kind of participants do you expect?
  • mode of registration – Will the participants only register themselves or will they also have the right to register their co-workers? Do they have the right to order multiple tickets during one registration process?
  • tickets
  • confirmation e-mails
  • language versions
  • design and the content on the registration website and on the voucher
  • questionnaires, etc.

• Unique URL addresses and multiple languages

  The system enables you to prepare the registration process in many language versions, each with independent content. Once configured, the system automatically generates separate and unique URL addresses for the registration in each language version.

• Managing registrations

  In certain circumstances, you may delete selected registrations and deactivate the whole process of registration. In an inactive configuration, you can change basic data (e-mail addresses, ticket settings, the content of the questionnaires, or the whole layout of the website).

• Groups of participants

  Depending on the type of event, the participants can be divided into different groups. The registration processes are automatically adjusted to particular groups in order to optimize data input. For example:

  • Journalists - after receiving accreditation, they don’t buy tickets
  • Visitors - they buy tickets or receive promotional tickets

• Modes of registration

  Salutor provides a choice between different modes of registration:

  • "Self & Other" mode

    This mode allows one to register multiple participants (e.g., colleagues) during one registration process, even while optionally excluding oneself. In this mode, we save time while entering data because a part of the data (e.g., the data of the company or the address) may be the same for all the workers of the organization. It is also enough to make one combined payment for the tickets for all the people registered.

  • "Self" mode

    This registration mode is for one participant only per registration process.

  • “Add to Cart” mode

    This mode of registration is derived from the “Self & Other” mode. The difference is that in this registration process, you order tickets using a “shopping cart.” Then you assign the tickets to particular participants.

  The same mode of registration can be defined in different ways, using programming logic and design.

Tickets and payment

• Ticket management

  • Positioning in context
    When setting up the registration process in Salutor, you can select ticket types from a predefined list and assign them to events or groups of events.
  • Multilingualism
    Names for the tickets can be given in all languages, in which registrations are available.
  • Different prices and currencies
  • Defining target groups
    You choose which type of participants the ticket is intended for.
  • Preview of relations
  • Data edition, removing, cancellation

• Print@Home tickets

  Salutor automatically generates a voucher with all the information about the order, including an integrated ticket with a unique bar code for on-site identification. Registrants can access their voucher-tickets through the link in your confirmation e-mail and can print them at home. The vouchers’ design and content are customizable, for example, to contain information on public transportation.

• Promotional tickets

  Event organizers or exhibitors can offer visitors promotional tickets, providing free entry to the event. Salutor supports the following functions:

• Multi-day tickets

  Each type of ticket can be valid for only one or more than one day.

• Tickets with the option of re-entry

  You can decide whether tickets will enable the visitor to exit and re-enter.

• Online payment

  Salutor offers online payment using PayPal Express - safe for your customers and simple for you. If you are already working with another online payment provider, we can create a system interface that allows this service to be used within Salutor.

E-mail editor

• E-mail editor

  Salutor uses a convenient WYSIWYG text editor, which works like familiar word-processing programs and shows you the results while you work. It allows you to easily compose messages by managing message templates.

• E-mail templates

  You can create and save any number of e-mail templates in different languages to use again later.

• Variable content

  When sending messages, variable data such as names of registrants, the tickets ordered and their prices, and the unique bar code will automatically be supplied by the database.

• Iterations

  You can add to the message a list of completed registrations and the purchases made.

• Multiple languages

  Salutor includes a tool that allows you to create many independent, parallel language versions with your message templates.

• HTML Editing

  In the message templates, you can use and edit pre-made blocks of HTML code.

• Graphics

  You can add graphics to the message templates in order to make them more attractive or even to look more like your event’s website.

Data Management

• Participants’ data

  The list of participants contains a bookmark linked to detailed data of participants. The data can be filtered, edited or deleted. You can analyze all registrations and orders for each participant and view the defined relationships between the participants and the company.

• Registrations and orders

  The displayed list can be filtered or used to preview the registration and order data for all registrations connected with the displayed voucher, in all available languages. With the Back Office module, you can remove all registrations or an individual order, order additional tickets for a completed registration or even carry out a new registration.

• Management of tickets

  You can define tickets independently and connect them to specific events during their range of validity. You can configure different language versions of tickets and display the prices in the appropriate currency.

• Management of e-mail templates

  You can create e-mail templates in multiple languages, independent of specific events and with their own content. You can use them repeatedly and place them – like tickets – into a context in order to define their validity. For more information on templates and e-mails, see Communication—Setting up e-mails.

• Resource management

  Resources can also be saved in a context, without being linked to a specific event, in order to define their validity. Resources include text and pictures that are used to create registration pages, vouchers and e-mails, and can also be written in many languages.

• Lists of questions for questionnaires

  Questions and the responses assigned to them can be created in multiple languages, so they can be used in the questionnaires during registration. More information about questionnaires and lists of questions can be found in Registrations and Questionnaires.

Access control system

Salutor is equipped with a built-in access control system.

• Ticket Control System

  The Ticket Control System verifies tickets through a bar code printed on them (Print@Home Tickets) and marks them as used in Salutor.

• Applicable for devices with low resolution

  The system has been optimized for use on low-resolution devices, such as handheld mobile devices.

• Activity

  The system collects data from entrances and exits for further analysis.
