Step 1: Activate group module online

Please note: you need the participant module to register your group participants. VAT, events, payment terms, etc. must be set up in the participant module before you can go live with the group module.

After you have created your congress with only an abstract module, you can't activate the group module.

The participant module needs to be activated to be able to use/activate the group module as well.

Click on 'Activate module' at the group module and the following screen appears:

Meaning of the checkboxes:

- Allow groups to register themselves: When checked, new groups can register online. When unchecked groups must be added or imported via the backoffice. The PCO can send the added groups an invitation email to login and register their participants.
- At least one item per participant: Group participants can only be submitted if they have at least one registration type or registration event.

- Enable pre-booking for new groups: Groups can only assign registration types and registration events to their participants that are pre-booked by you, or that were requested by the group and accepted by the PCO.

- Use group booking requests for new groups: When enabled, new groups can be registered by a contact person who must book events. These need to be approved by the PCO before any participants can register.
- Send group booking request emails: to the group when the PCO accepts/rejects a request.

- New group booking request email address: Receive an email on this address, informing the PCO about new booking requests that have been submitted by any groups.

After you made your choices, the group module is activated and you can start with the setup.
