After completing this help guide, you’ll be able to:

  • Create a new seminar.
  • View your seminars.
  • Link a new item to a seminar for self-registration.
  • Update the status and accreditation of seminar attendees. 

 

The Seminars Console will be used to create courses for coaches or referees that they can register to and then get easily accredited from those that are delivering the courses. 

 

To get started;

  • Once logged in, select Coaches and Staff. Please note this is the same when creating seminars for referees.
  • Select New Seminar

 

 

Here you will see the New Seminar screen with all of the fields being available to edit. Please find a description of each of these fields in the table below.

  • Select the Configure Self-Registration tab.
  • Select the Create Item button.



  • From the dialogue box create an item as you normally would for any other registration. Note: The type must be Seminar Attendance for it to link with your seminar. See Items Overview Footy Tip if you need assistance creating the item. 

 

 

Once this item has been created then we can add pricing and custom attributes. Let's start with pricing.

  • Click the arrow next to the item to navigate to the item dashboard.
  • Select the Pricing tab if it is not already selected.
  • Select Add.


  • Input a Description for the price. Note that this will be visible to people via MyCOMET.
  • Input the Valid From date. This is the starting date that the item can be selected.
  • Input the Valid Until date. This is the last day that the item can be selected.
  • Input the price of the item in the Total field.
  • Select the save icon.



Now let's add Custom Attributes (or custom fields). As the name suggests, here you can create additional information that you would like to collect about a person. These additional fields become visible as soon as someone selects the item via MyCOMET.

  • Select Custom Attributes tab.
  • Select New Attribute.



  • Add the Attribute Name - this part will be visible to those purchasing the item.
  • Description field is an internal reference only not visible to those purchasing.
  • Toggle whether or not the field is Required. If ticked, then the person must complete this when selecting the field. 
  • Finally, select the Field Type e.g. one line of text, multiple lines of text, checkbox etc.



Once that is all set click the options button and click Copy URL. Use this link to direct your coaches or referees straight to the registration item.
