Is there anyway to avoid logging in each time I do signups?

When I click on a Signup or Cancel button, nothing happens. What should I do?

What is the difference between registering and signing up?

What is the difference between Make Signup Form and Customize Registration Form?

How do we migrate our existing people and data to PRESTO, and tell them about it?

Why were the dates in my report out of order?

Should my signup style be Assign Now or Request?

We made a new field in a signup form. When viewing it with the Preview Form button, the field looks OK. Why is the old form shown when I signup for an activity?

If your question is not answered here, please use Site Search or ask about it in the Forum.

• Is there anyway to avoid logging in each time I do signups?
  Yes. A PRESTO Login stays active until you Logout, exit your browser, or shutdown your computer. Therefore, simply leave your browser window open and do a Windows Hibernate instead of a Windows Shutdown. (This will have the added benefit of making your computer's startup go much faster).
• When I click on a Signup or Cancel button, nothing happens. What should I do?
  If Javascript is not enabled in your browser, you need to enable it. (Confirmation boxes and many other PRESTO features rely on Javascript). Occasionally a browser bug will cause things like this to happen. If this is the issue, exiting and restarting the browser will fix this.

  If neither of these remedies works, please report the problem.

• What is the difference between registering and signing up?
  Registering just places you in the people database and identifies your permanent info, like your name, email address, and password. Signing up applies to a single event. So you are registered just once, but over time you might signup many times.

• How do we migrate our existing people and data to PRESTO, and tell them about it?
  Create a text file containing your people data and do Admin Home->Import. More generally, click on Admin Home->Initial Setup checklist and read it over (in particular the Populate your People Database section and the Make your Website Public sections).
• Why were the dates in my report out of order?
  When you combine multiple things into one 1 column (say !s.day!, !s.time!) a text sort is done — meaning the values in the column are looked at from left to right. Thus for example, Dec 27 sorts before Dec 8 because 2 is less than 8. There are 2 ways around this:
  1. For dates, there is a field especially for this case, namely All When Info. In other words, replace !s.day!, !s.time! with !s.when!.
  2. More generally this is what the Hidden display type is for. If you preceed an unsorted !s.day!, !s.time! with a Hidden !s.day! column and a Hidden !s.time! column, both those columns will sort numerically and you will get the desired result.
• Should my signup style be Request This?
  The issue is whether an adminstrator action is part of for each signup. If not, Signup for This (or Reserve This) is less labor all around. If it is, then Request This is the natural way to involve the administrator.
• We made a new field in a signup form. When viewing it with the Preview Form button, the field looks OK. Why is the old form shown when I signup for an activity?
  It could be a bug. But if you created a new form to test the change, you probably forgot to go to Manage Activities and update the activity's current form.
