Self-Registering to Attend an Event
An end user can self-register to attend an event when all of the following are true:
The end user is a registered Events Web site user.
The event’s Event Type is not set to Restricted.
When these conditions are met, an end user can view the event and register to attend the event. However, if the Event Type is Restricted, the end user cannot register to attend the event, and he or she can only view the event if they are an invited attendee.
The following procedures describe how a registered user of the Events Web site can register to attend an event and any particular sessions within an event that may require separate registration. Note, however, in this release of Siebel Events Management, attendee registration is no longer required at the Event Plan level. Attendees must first register for an event, and then register for the sessions within an event.
To self-register to attend an event
Navigate to the home page of the Events Web site.
Log in as a registered user of the site. For more information about new user registration, see Events Web Site Registration Process.
The Siebel Events home page reappears without the User Login form.
Click one of the following links to view event information:
Events link in Browse Events list. Displays the Available Events list, which shows all events that are open to the general public.
Register for an Event. Also displays the Available Events list, which shows all events that are open to the general public.
View My Open Invitations. Displays the My Invitations list, which shows all events to which you have been invited, including restricted events.
Any event listed in the Upcoming Events area of the home page. Displays an Event form and a Sessions list for the selected event.
If you clicked one of the first three links in the previous step, click the name of an event that interests you. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
In the Event form, click Register.
If there is no charge for the event, and if there is still space available, the My Events list appears. The list includes the event you selected, with the Status field set to Confirmed, showing that you are registered for the event. Also, an email message is automatically sent to you, reporting that your registration is confirmed for the event.
If there is no charge for the event, but the maximum enrollment has been reached, the My Events list appears, but the event listing shows a status of Waitlisted. An email message is automatically sent to you, reporting that you are on the waiting list and will be informed if space becomes available.
If there is a registration fee for the event, and if there is still space available, the Shopping Cart appears, containing information about the charge for the event.
(Optional) To continue registering for additional events before paying, return to the Events home page and repeat Step 3 and Step 4 of this procedure.
To pay for all of the events you for which are registering, click Check Out.
In the Payment Method form, enter your credit card and billing information. If you have used the Shopping Cart before, your previously entered information displays for you to edit or confirm.
Click Continue to display the Order Summary, and verify that all information is correct.
Click Confirm Order.
An Order Confirmation message appears.
Click Return to Home Page, and then click View Your Registrations to display the My Registered Events list.
The list includes the event or events that you selected, with the Status field set to Confirmed, indicating you are registered for the event. Also, two email messages are automatically sent to you, one reporting that your registration is confirmed, the other reporting your Shopping Cart transaction.
If there is a registration fee for the event, but maximum enrollment has been reached, the My Events list appears, but the event listing shows a status of Waitlisted. An email message is automatically sent to you, reporting that you are on the waiting list and will be informed if space becomes available.
If you do not complete the check-out process for the Shopping Cart, your registration status is set to Pending, by default. This status reserves a seat for you, if a seat is available, but only for a finite time period. The default length of time that a registration remains pending is four hours. After this period, Siebel Events automatically deletes pending registrations when you register another user for the same event.
The following procedure describes how to complete an unconfirmed registration for an event, either to convert a status of Pending to a status of Confirmed or to convert a status of Waitlisted to a status of Confirmed.
To complete a pending or wait listed registration to attend an event
On the Home Page in the My Events list, click the View Your Registrations link.

In the Event form, click Register.
If there is no charge for the event, and if there is still space available, the My Events list appears.
