Creating Event Types in EnrolNow Bookings

An Event Type is the overall category families book into (e.g. Centre Tour, Orientation, PAG Meeting). After creating an Event Type, you’ll add individual Event Schedules (the bookable dates/times).

Go to the "Event Types" module and click Create Event Type
Enter all details related to the Event Type and click Save

Field glossary

Event Type Name: The name families will see (e.g. Centre Tour, Orientation Booking, PAG Meeting).

Important: Standard email templates exist for Orientation Booking. If you need templates for other Event Types, please contact EnrolNow Support so we can create the Event Type and its unique email link for you.

Advanced user? You can update the URL in the booking link to include your new Event Type name.
For example, if you have created a new event type with the name Mid Year Review, replace &type=Orientation Booking with &type=Mid Year Review.

Publicly Accessible?: Tick if you want a public link (ideal for tours) that can be added to your website. Leave unticked to restrict access — families can only book via a unique email link.

Lead Time: Number of days before a session when new bookings are closed. Example: 2 means families cannot book within 2 days of the session.

Archived: Hide the Event Type when it’s no longer in use. This can be used to archive all related event schedules for a given Event Type.

Terms and Conditions: Optional text displayed on the confirmation page (e.g. cancellation policy, arrival instructions).

Contact Information (Name, Phone): Defaults to the organisation’s contact details. Override if a specific person (e.g. an orientation coordinator) should be listed for this Event Type.

Event Type Owner: System field will be auto set as the user who creates the Event Type. Note, this can be overridden to another user which may be required to ensure that other users in EnrolNow can view the Event Type. Standard Zoho hierarchy rules apply.

Best-practice tips

Set an appropriate Lead Time so staff have notice before sessions run.
Choose Publicly Accessible for tours; keep Orientation Booking restricted and share via unique email links. Standard EnrolNow functionality is reliant on the Event Type Orientation Booking being used.

Next: Create Event Schedules

After saving your Event Type, add your bookable times: Creating Event Schedules (date/time, duration, capacity, and access restrictions).
