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 orange 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 event days and select the time and location parameters. 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 available settings. You can change reminder preferences, select enhanced security, and access premium features such as ad removal and integration setup.
- 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 email and reminder 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 on both mobile devices and desktops. You can also choose to preview the participant form as it looks from mobile or desktop. Click the orange Publish button to take your sign up live!
Share and Invite

-
Invite by Email (from SignUpGenius) - If you would like to send invites from SignUpGenius, choose Compose Message and fill out the email template.
-
Copy the Sign Up Link - If you wish to send invites from your personal email program or in a newsletter, copy the link and paste it into your personal email program.
-
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.
-
Share on Social - To share on social media, click the relevant icon to post to your account. You can also copy the sign up link and post it on your social media page.
-
Display on a Website - This option creates a sign up button that appears 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 to others for a quick way to view your sign-up.
