Doodle’s Sign-up Sheet is the easiest way to manage enrollment in one to many pre-scheduled sessions with limited enrollment capacity. But if you dig deeper, you can find a wealth of features that will make your next event better than ever.

Getting the most out of Sign-up Sheet begins with using Doodle’s Dashboard Beta. When you switch to the Dashboard Beta, you can create and manage your sign-up sheets directly from the dashboard. Additionally, you can take advantage of the Dashboard Beta’s powerful event filtering and sleek interface.

When you use Doodle’s Dashboard Beta, you can manage your sign-up sheets directly from the dashboard. Preview the participant experience, edit your sign-up sheet, and more in just a few clicks.

With Sign-up Sheet, you have two levels of description you can use. The general description is used to describe the whole event, and session descriptions define an individual session. When you connect your calendar, a session description will supersede the general description in the calendar invite. If you leave the session description blank, then the general description will be applied to the calendar invite.

Any time you make an edit to your sign-up sheet and click ‘Save’, you will be asked if you want to send a notification to the participants. A change in session time or session location may warrant a notification, whereas a spelling correction or change to a session without registration may not. Either way, you are in charge of how many - or how few - email notifications your audience receives.

When you enable a connected calendar with your sign-up sheet, you will enjoy the following benefits:

Doodle takes privacy seriously for all its users - from each event organizer to every event participant. With sign-up sheet, every session participant is hidden, meaning that only the organizer can see who has enrolled in a session. Hidden enrollment data is automatic, so you do not need to do anything to ensure the privacy of your participants.

Have you ever wondered what your sign-up sheet will look like for your participants? Now you can see what the participant experience looks like with Doodle’s Preview feature.

To preview your sign up sheet before you send it, click ‘Preview’ from the sign-up sheet summary screen. A new screen will load to reveal the participant experience. Use this to review your sign-up sheet for accuracy and to better advise your participants should they ask you questions about the sign up sheet. Once you are satisfied with the preview, close it and send the sign-up sheet link to your poll participants.
