Events are created and maintained via a google form, which writes the submitted data to a specially formatted google sheet, using Form Publisher
On the Form submission page we capture the form edit URL so that we can edit the contents of the workshop. When this edit occurs, the document (sheet) is updated.
We use Data Studio as a front end to search for the list of PD opportunities. This allows for filtering and sorting the list on multiple criteria.
On each site page we track and display the number of participants allowed, how many are registered and how many spots remain. The sheet color codes using conditional formatting to provide a visual of remaining spots.
Using an Apps Script the event information is automatically added to the google calendar that displays all the events.
There is a link on each event page to add the event to your calendar, as well as a calendar link in the email that a registrant receives.
In addition to using the Data Studio interface to find events, there are navigation arrows on each page to move forward and backward to each event.
This site is designed as a PD management system
Registrations
Registrants receive an email and a PDF with event information upon registering
Once an event is full, it is automatically removed from the registration page
When a new workshop is added to events it automatically is added to the registration form
Each site page has a unique link to the registration page, with that event already selected
The registrant also receives in their email, a link to edit their registration, which allows them to cancel.
