How do I Approve/Not Approve Participants For a Program in Arbiter Registration?

You have the ability to update a registrant's approval status in a number of ways.

This article will show you how to:

• Approve a registrant individually
• Approve registrants in bulk
• Approve a registrant by delving into an individual registration
• Approve a registrant through the People search

Approve a registrant individually:

1. When looking at the list of registrations through the program's Filled number, you can click into the 'APPROVAL' status field to update an individual registration. Select the desired status and then click the blue 'UPDATE' button.

Approve registrants in bulk:

1. To select one or more registration, select the checkboxes on the left of the registration(s). This will allow you to update multiple registrations at once. To select all registration on a page, click on the checkbox at the top of the list. Selecting at least one registration will result in the 'EDIT SELECTED' window on the right appearing.

2. Click into the 'APPROVAL' status dropdown and select 'APPROVED', 'NOT APPROVED' or 'NO STATUS'. Then you may select 'NOTIFY REGISTRANT OF CHANGES' to send a notification of this change to the family. You may either use our default notification email or customize your own note. Click the blue 'UPDATE' button to save your changes.

3. 'APPROVED' registrants will read 'APPROVED' in green and 'NOT APPROVED' registrants will read 'NOT APPROVED' in red. For 'NO STATUS' registrations, there will be a dash in the field.

Approve a registrant through the People search:

1. Select the People tab on the blue bar at the top of the screen.
