Late Registration of Persons without Registration¶

The behaviour of the “+” icon top right has been slightly updated:

Tapping this icon previously let you invite additional participants. It could be other members of your Multiple District (or from a foreign one, as long as both you and the foreign members chose to share their profile), or possibly arbitrary external guests (if enabled for the corresponding event):

But it turns out that’s not sufficient when you need to deal, typically in the context of a National Convention, with persons who did not take time to register until the event’s registration due date and happily show up at the welcome booth, asking to attend the event. That is not even a late-registration!

Reviewers may easily search within the list of targeted persons and look for that very person not having answered. But in the context of a National Convention, chances are high that that person will not even be listed since we only show up to 80 participants without answer.

So how do deal with that? Well, we chose to reuse the same mechanism in place for inviting additional participants, as presented above, but instead of sending an invitation, the participant will be registered right away, allowing further editing on their answer to possible additional questions.

To do so, you need first to switch to the list of persons not having answered the invitation:

Then tapping the “+” icon top right will show a similar menu than when inviting additional persons, but this time reading that this is a registration instead:

Inviting Others On Behalf of a Participant¶

You are happy, because you were able to register this late-announced member. But then another problem arises… Their partner (or another guest) is there and naturally wants to participate too. What do you do?

You need first to switch to the list of persons actually attending the event:

On that page, we extended the popup menu we introduced in version 4.3. As such, when you long-tap a participant, you will find additional options to invite someone on behalf of that person:

Worth mentioning:

1. You may invite their partner if that info is up-to-date in LionsBase. If this is not the case, please ask a CLBM to read the chapter about managing partners.

2. The option that allows to register an external guest on their behalf is only available if the registration period is closed; otherwise that participant should do it on their own (unlike the partner who is someone really special; the option is thus always available).
