Enabling registration on catalogs

You can enable registration on a catalog to collect information about people accessing it. Mediasite will prompt the user to enter their first and last name, email address, passcode, and any other additional criteria you choose before viewing the catalog. Administrators can view or export this information, along with the IP address and date of registration.

To enable registration on a catalog:

1.  Click Publishing > Catalogs and click the catalog you want. Click Registration on the catalog’s properties page.

2.  Select the Enable Registration check box and specify the following:

Pass Code

      If you would like to distribute a pass code to your viewers and require them to enter it before accessing the catalog, specify the desired code. If you leave this field blank, then anyone with the link can access the catalog after filling out the registration form. Make sure to distribute the passcode to your audience members in advance.

Banner Message

      Enter the text you want displayed at the top of the registration form. If you leave this field blank, the default text "Please register to access the requested Mediasite content" is displayed.

Hide the standard login form link

If you want all users, including those with Mediasite logins to register before accessing content, select this check box. Otherwise, a link appears at the bottom of the page that allows existing Mediasite users to authenticate via the standard Mediasite login form and bypass registration.

Banner Image

Use this to upload a custom image for the banner displayed at the top of the registration page.

Banner Background Color

Enter a value for the color, or use the color chooser tool, to set a background fill color for the banner area.

Custom Fields

By default, only first name, last name, and email addresses are collected when viewers register. Click Add New to add fields to the registration form for any additional data you want to collect. Select the Required check box to make the item a required field.

3.  Click Save.

4.  To view registration data, return this page and click View Registrants. This will launch the Registration page in a separate browser window. On this page, you will see the total number of registrants and the data collected. Click Export to Excel to export the data collected.
