Creating Programs for Which Registration Is Optional

To modify a program record, you must be assigned permission 754 (Update program records). To modify a section record, you must be assigned permission 764 (Update section records). To modify a session, you must be assigned permission 771 (Modify session). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

To create a program for which registration is optional, do the following:

Open the program record for editing.
Set the REGPOSSIBL fixed-length field in the program record to a value of "TRUE".
Use the PUBLICNOTE fixed-length field in the program record to indicate that registration for the program is optional. The data in this field displays in the WebPAC.

Programs for which registration is optional might not have a complete list of registrants. Patrons who are not registered are not able to receive program-related emails (such as cancellation messages or broadcast emails).
