Support Group sign up sheet

Marnee Beck

Hi,

I want to create a survey that will allow a support group host to add all of the support group members on one form.  The survey results would then automatically create a separate individual record for each of the different support group members.  Is this something I can do? Or is it better for the support group members to register for each support group meeting that they attend?

Please let me know what you think...

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to register all the users en masse via a survey. (You could do that in the Convio back end by importing a CSV.)

I think your only real option is the second method. Create a survey with the new registrant fields (which if included in a survey will result in a new constituent record being created.) The survey can even automatically add the responders to a Convio constituent group of your choice, so one form per support group and the whole thing should handle itself.

Otherwise, perhaps you could add a multi-choice field to a single survey with all the groups the registrant wants to join. Then you could use a survey report to get those answers to fashion a CSV. (That CSV would be how you get the users into the appropriate groups, via import.) More manual work, but you can have a single survey handle the whole thing.
