Hi, I need to create a registration form that will allow teachers to register a number of students at one time. the issues involved are that we don't want the teacher to have to enter the School info more than once, and we want each student to appear on one line of the excel spread sheet. Thus, there are two possible scenarios as to how the form could work.

Option one:

1) Teacher enters school data
2) Teacher enters data on each student (no more than 15)
3) The program will create one record for each student and will include the school info.

Option two:

1) Teacher enters data for school and one student
2) teacher is taking to a thank you page and prompted to add another student
3) If adding another student the school's info is already populated in the form. They simply have to add the info on the new student.

Is one of these options doable? If so, how?

thanks,

I have achieved a simular solution with companies and users. However I did most of this in SQL procedures in order to create the ASP and DNN users correctly and then send user registeration emails with SQL mail.

If you have SQL programming experience and access to your backend DB then you could also achieve this.

Hi S,

It is do-able

I did a similar form for a Retreat Registration where a family head can register upto 6 members for the Retreat. We can always increase that number. It has these Blocks / Sections

SECTION 1: Primary Contact Info (Home address, email, phone, etc. common to all members. This is something equivalent to your School Info)

SECTION 2: Attendees Info (List of individuals attending the Retreat: Name, Age Group, Gender, Stay and Food Options, etc. - one per row. This is equivalent to your Student-specific data. Each Student will appear in a row. If you are capturing 'a lot' of data for each student, then, the 'row' becomes too wide and it may not look elegant

SECTION 3: Other Options (Volunteering, Special Workshops, Child Care needs, special diet needs, etc. along with "General Comments")

SECTION 4: Payment Options (Credit Card / PayPal, Check, Scholarship (people should be able to attend the Retreat regardless of their ability to pay

DIFFERENCES:
1. I am NOT adding them as users right now. I simply send out different emails and move on to PayPal processing.
2. I download the Form data into Excel / CSV and use it for various teams' needs (Registration packets, Food planning, Transportation planning, Child care planning, etc.)

THINGS YOU CAN LEVERAGE FROM MY WORK:
1. General layout and Design
2. General concepts of 'multiple people' tied to a common block of info (Demographics, etc.)

THINGS YOU NEED TO ADD / CUSTOMIZE:
1. Limit the number of Attributes for each Student so that they can appear easily in one row.
2. Add "Create User Roles" events in the Form Completion Events based on the Student data captured (one for each Student)
3. Add other events specific to your situation.


SUMMARY:
Your needs 'can' be implemented; this is good news
If you can provide more details, there may be more elegant design / approach

Good Luck!
