Cvent Beginners

Hi, how can I schedule registration to open at a specific time?

Hi Joanna,

Here's a quick overview of how registration timing works in Cvent for your event:

• Event-level registration can't auto-open at a specific time. You'll set your registration deadline in Event > Registration > Registration Settings, but when you're ready to let people in, you'll still need to manually switch Registration to Open on the Event Home page.

• Admission items (tickets/fees) can be scheduled by date. For a specific item, go to Event > Registration > Admission Items, open the item, and use:

  • "Automatically opens on" to choose the date it becomes available.

  • "Automatically closes on" to choose the date it stops accepting registrations (it closes at the start of that date).

Hope this helps!

Hi! 

Thanks for the reply. What time would admission items open if scheduled by date? Midnight in event time zone? Can this be configured? 

Kind regards
