RunMyFestival uses the term Entrant to mean a person or a group of people who are entering the festival. Before you can enter the festival, you must create at least one Entrant.
An Entrant is one of the following:
Individual – a person performing on their own, who could be yourself, your child or a pupil of yours
Group With People – any group consisting of two or more named individuals such as a duet or a trio etc
Group By Size – a group that is known only by its name and whose members may change from day to day – such as a choir or community performing arts group.
This page displays the list of all your individuals and groups. From here you can create new ones or modify existing ones
To Create an Entrant:
Select Entrants from the top menu
Then select ‘New’ – this opens a sub menu
Select the type of Entrant you want to create (one of Individual, Group With People or Group By Size)
Against each Entrant in the list of Entrants is a button called ‘Enter’ which is in the left-hand column. Clicking this button is how you start the process of entering that Entrant into the festival. When the button is clicked, you will be taken to a page displaying the classes that are available for that Entrant.
If you wish to enter yourself and you don’t see your name in the list you can create yourself as an Entrant using the menu. The actual list displays the information about each Entrant including type, name and size. To edit the Entrant you can click the link on the name.
If you have lots of Entrants you can filter the list based on type or the name of the Entrant. To filter by type select a type from the drop down in the first column’s header below the ‘Type’ label.
If you want to find a specific Entrant you can type part of their name in the field in the second column’s header below the ‘Name’ label. The list will automatically redisplay shortly after you press a key. You can also sort the list by various columns using the little up/down arrows next to the column label.
