Who uses itOrganizer

Create a new registration form starting from a template. The form is created private and without categories: you finish it in the editor.

What it is for

Use this page when a championship needs a form it never had, for example a first season or a new kind of event. To make this year's form from last year's, use Duplicate in Forms instead: it also copies categories, prices and fields.

Before you start

  • At least one template must exist. If there is none, ERA shows a warning: a superadmin creates templates in Form templates.
  • The events of the championship should already exist in Events. You can also choose the event later.

Step by step

  1. Open the page. Go to Forms › New form and choose the Championship.
  2. Name the form. Write the Name of the form, as drivers will see it on the website.
  3. Choose the template. Pick one in Template. On the right, ERA lists each template with its number of pages and fields and a short note.
  4. Choose the type. In Type choose Single event or Season pass.
  5. Choose the event or the rounds. For a single event pick the Event, or leave it to choose later. For a season pass tick the Rounds covered: none ticked means every race in the year of Registrations close (every race when there is no closing date). See Selling a season pass. Only events not finished yet are listed.
  6. Set the closing date. Pick the date and time in Registrations close from the calendar. You can leave it empty and set it later.
  7. Create the form. Click Create the form and choose its categories. ERA opens the form editor on the Base & categories tab: tick the categories with price and limit, write the welcome message, then make the form public.

What ERA checks

  • The name is required and a template must be chosen.
  • The closing date, if written, must be a valid date: choose it from the calendar.
  • The event must belong to the chosen championship.
  • The new form is always private, with no categories, until you complete it in the editor.

Common problems

What happens What to do
"There are no templates yet." Ask a superadmin to create or import them in Form templates.
The event is not in the list. Only events not finished yet are listed. Check the event dates in Events, or choose the event later in the editor.
The form is not on the website. It is private. Open it in the editor, set Status to Public and click Save.
