Registration Page
Create a Registration Page
Clicking Manage Campaigns --> Registration Page --> Create/Edit Registration Page will start the Registration
Page creation process. The first page you see will ask you if you want to create/edit the actual registration
page your readers will see when they click 'subscribe', or the custom 'thank you for registering' page, that
subscribers will see after submitting their registration information.
Let's start with the first choice, 'Create/Edit Registration Form For Your Web Site Vistors'. After clicking
that, you will see a list of the availabe standard fields for your registration page. Simply check which
fields you want your new subscribers to see on their page, and which fields you want to be required. Readers
will not be able to subscribe without entering information in all the fields you mark 'required'. Click
'Continue' to move on.
*** If you are editing an existing registration page, see
"Caution" section at the bottom of the page.
The next page asks you if you need to create custom questions for your registration page. Selecting 'Yes'
will take you to page where you can begin creating these questions. Enter the name of the question (readers
will not see this name). Use letters only, no spaces or special characters. Then enter the question text.
This is what your readers will be answering. Select whether you want this to be a text, radio, or checkbox
question. Text questions will give readers a text field to enter their answer into - like a fill-in-the-blank
question. Radio questions allow for multiple choices as answers, but the reader can only select one. Checkbox
questions are for questions with multiple answers, and the reader can choose as many answers as they want.
After you select the type, enter the answers you would like the readers to choose from (radio and checkbox
questions).
When you're done, click the 'Save Question' button to add another question. When you're finished adding
questions and ready to move on, click the 'Finished Adding Questions - Move On' button.
This next page will let you select which group to place your registrants into. If you create a group in the
future that you will want your registrants in, you can walk through this process again and check the box for
that group. Note that if you select more than one group, your registration page will include a group selector.
Click 'Continue' when ready.
The final step of this process is the link page. You will be given two sets of code that you can cut-and-paste
into your email or onto your website. Each set of code will take the clicker to your registration page. Also
included on this page is the actual code for your registration page, which you can host on your own website, if
you'd like. Persons who complete the form will be added to your mailing list, inserted into the group(s) you
specified.
* * * CAUTION * * *
If you are hosting your registration page code on your own server, and you
come back and edit your questions on Internet Mail Manager, you must replace the code on your server
with the new code the system creates for you. If you edit your questions without updating the
original version you're hosting, subscribers' data will not be saved properly. |
