The "End User" view of this page is completed, basically the same as the "Editor" view except that the administration options are removed, listed below:
- Change All Records Below To
- Changing Of Individual Attendance Status
- Ability To "Reinstate" A Registration From Cancelled to Registered
Note, while End Users have the option to cancel their registration, they cannot then "re-enable" it. Only editors can do that.
As depicted below, I added an AJAX Tooltip window when clicking on the "Information" icon that display details on the Registration Record. I opted for a vertical display of data as opposed to horizontal as it took up less room and was easier to read I think.
Underneath this "list" of registrations, for Editors only, is a "Mass E-Mail" feature. I changes the title bar to use DNN's collapsible panel, which get's rid of that stupid tiny little "+" button that takes three of four click to actually hit it. Now the entire header bar is clickable to expend the section. One expended you will see a robust custom E-Mail editor, similar to the "Newsletter" feature. Here you can designate who to send the E-mail to, by a predesignated group status or by manually entering in E-Mail addresses. You also have a CC and a BCC feature. By default the system uses the HOST account to send E-Mails, but allows you to designate a "Reply To" person for when recipients reply. This is a handy feature for customers, like my company, that send all E-Mails out from an E-Mail address that doesn't accept replies. There is of course a Subject and Body section. Then there is an "Advanced Settings" tab that give you access to file attachments, E-Mail priority, Send Method, relay address, and send action (Synchronous or Asynchronous). All settings in the advanced section have pre-set defaults and users are not required to visit this tab.
There is also an added feature that I created which is great for my "Editors"...that is the "Send Me Sent Report". If you supply a "Reply To" address and check this box, this E-Mail address will be sent the typical "Bulk-Mail Summary" report, and below it will also be a copy of the E-Mail text that was sent. The report, just like the Newsletter Bulk-Report, shows a list of all the E-Mail addresses it was sent to, and if synchronous send mode was selected, it would tell you weather the send was successful or not.
