How to Create a Sign Up on Mobile

Updated

Welcome to SignUpGenius mobile! These easy steps will help you create a sign up on the go with your mobile device.

Design

First, create a SignUpGenius account on our registration page or log into your existing account. From there, click the green Create a Sign Up button.

  • From the Design tab, enter the title of your sign up. Assign an existing group from the dropdown menu or click the + sign to create a new group. Remember, a group is defined as the people you plan to invite.  
  • Next, choose a theme for your sign up. If your sign up already has a pre-loaded design, click the orange pencil icon that says “Change Theme.” Now, you can use the search field to enter a keyword or select a category. You can also use the dropdown menu to sort the design choices by All, Free, Premium, or Custom Themes. 
  • If you would like to customize your sign up by using your own image, click the image icon. 
  • You’re ready to move on! Click Save and Continue to proceed to the next step.

Slots

From the Slots tab, select the format for your sign up. If you are unsure about which format to choose, you can view examples for each.

  • If you are creating a sign up for one or more dates, select the Add Dates button. You will then have the option to select dates from the calendar. You can also choose to add Recurring Days or add Time Slots. With these options, the system will automatically generate dates and times based on the parameters you set. 
  • Enter the days of the event and select the parameters for times and location. Click the green Add button to save your dates and times. 
  • Now click Add Slots. Slots define the role of a participant. For example, you may have a slot for "Ticket Booth," "Clean Up Crew," "Food Servers", or other suitable text that best defines the role or task. You can also add a Help Comment to better define the role. If you have added multiple dates and times, assign the slot to appear for All dates or select specific dates and times that apply to that slot. 
  • Next, select the maximum number of participants you wish to allow to sign up for the slot. You also have the option to Collect Money. Once you've entered all of the information, click Save or Save and Add Another.  

    Note: If you enter a number of dates, times or slots, the Slots page may not display all items on one page. If you don't see a date or a slot on the first page, scroll down and navigate to additional pages. 
  • Click Save and Continue to proceed to Settings.

Settings 

This tab provides various options to customize your sign up further. You can set preferences, choose to remove ads, and more.

  • Click each option to see all of the settings available. You can change reminder preferences and select enhanced security as well as access premium features such as removing ads and setting up integrations. 
  • Remember to view the Notifications tab. You may want to decide how many days in advance to send reminders or choose one of the custom emails and reminders options. 
  • Click Save and Continue at the bottom of the page to continue and prepare to publish your sign up. 

Publish

From the Publish tab, you can preview how your sign up will look from both mobile devices and desktops. You can also choose to preview the participant form as it looks from mobile or desktop. Click the green Publish button to take your sign up live! 

Share and Invite

Publishing the sign up does not automatically send invites to your group. To share your sign up or send invites, you have the following options:

  1. Invite by Email (from SignUpGenius) - If you would like to send invites from SignUpGenius, choose Compose Message and fill out the email template. 
     
  2. Copy the Sign Up Link - If you wish to send invites from your personal email program or in a newsletter, and paste the link into your personal email program. 
     
  3. Invite by Text - Paid subscribers can select this option and then select Compose Text to send invites by text. Texting is available for those group members who have opted in to receive text messages from you. 
     
  4. Share on Social - To share on social media, click the related icon to initiate posting to your social media account. You can also copy the link to the sign up and post it on your social media page. 
     
  5. Display on a Website - This option is for creating a sign up button that is placed on your website and links to your sign up page.
     

Bonus: Generate a QR code! Click the green ‘Generate a QR Code’ button and proceed to the next screen. Choose a color, a file type (PNG or SVG) and download your QR Code. You can print it out, add it to a newsletter, or send it out to others for a fast way to view your sign up.
