Posted on by SamGo

Hi Community,

so i have the requirement to create an event where Participants are automatically registered to every Session BUT we would like to offer workshop sessions WHILE ongoing main Event.

So Participants should be able to go to a desired workshop but here we need the session registration and waitlist option.

So far i could either register for the whole event or for each session, but not i couldnt manage to set up only certain session registration. Is there any "near-to-standard" way doing this or has anyone got an idea how i could do this?

Thanks a lot,

Sam

Thanks for the responses! I will consider both options with the customer and as a third option we thought about working with vouchers/ Tickets. Not quite sure yet how they want the end result to look like!

Thanks a lot for the help thou!

Hey Sam,

Would it be possible for you to create 2 events - and on the registration to one, redirect the users to the second event, with optional sessions? As Clofly said, you might have to write some code, but for this solution, you can simply create 2 "connected" events in D365, set one to "don't allow agenda to be picked by attendee" and the second to "allow agenda to be picked".

Thanks,

RE: Event Agenda and Session Registration only for certain sessions

Hi Sam,

I created a demo:

The event is called Dynamics 365 for Marketing, it will be held from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and has 3 associated sessions:

Day 1(full day, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), Build a custom channel(In the morning, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) and Event Portal customization(In the afternoon, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM).

If participant chooses any of session other than Day 1, then he should be automatically registered to Day 1 at same time.

If above would what you described, to automate the registration process, we should check whether the Day 1 session has been added into selected sessions list,

if not, add the session Day 1 to attendeeSessions property of registration request body payload.

Here is an example of the body(we can also find it in browser console > Network > XHR), the second session item would be the session ID of Day 1.

{ "attendees": [ { "firstName": "Clofly", "lastName": "Mao", "email": "cloflymao@outlook.com", "passId": "", "waitlisted": false, "autoRegister": false, "responses": [], "attendeeSessions": [ { "sessionId": "3e645229-01f4-ea11-a815-000d3aa08990", "waitlisted": false }, { "sessionId": "c32428c0-2af3-ea11-a815-000d3aa08990", "waitlisted": false } ] } ] }

In a word, we need to write code to achieve your requirement.

Please refer to following articles for how to customize event portal and deploy customization to portal.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/developer/event-management-web-application

(Choose the second way: Dynamics 365 Portal hosted to read.)

Angular and typescript(or front-end) knowledge are required for us to customize to event website.

Regards,

Clofly

Hi,

sorry, i was in a rush and didnt check what i wrote here :)

So i've got an Event "Test" and its a full Day Event. Besides i do have two Hands on Labs with a max capacity of 20.

I would like Participants, that register them self, to be registered for the Full Day automatically (To all sessions from Opening session to Closing) AND I would like to also give the option to register to the hands on labs if they want. Hands on is optional and limited in capacity, so i would only need the "create own agenda" and waitlist options on the Hands on Lab.

The picture shows sessions for day 1 - not quite sure if it is reconizable

Does that make better sense?

Hi Sam,

I am not really clear about some concepts that you mentioned: 1. workshop sessions 2. participants go to a desired workshop.

Could you share an example which is based on your event portal with more details? That would be helpful for me better understand your requirement.

As per my understanding towards your problem: "but not I couldn't manage to set up only certain session registration",

Do you mean that participants are only allowed to add no more than 1 session before final registration?

Regards,

Clofly
