Run an open day — managing registration flows

School, business, artist's studio, coworking space: here is how to offer several time slots, cap each at your capacity, and welcome visitors without a spreadsheet or a 30-minute queue.

Typical scenario

Camille runs an applied-arts school in Nantes. The annual open day welcomes 600 visitors across 4 slots. Before: an oversubscribed Doodle, parents arriving at the wrong slot, a 30-minute queue at reception. With JustOneEvent she publishes one event per slot (10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m.), caps each at 150, and scans QR codes at reception to hand out badges and workshop maps. The live counter reassures the teaching teams.

3 tips to streamline your open day

  • 1
    One event per time slot — Create 3-4 events (one per slot) instead of a single big one. Capacity caps per slot and visitors pick what suits them. Easier to coordinate logistics.
  • 2
    Capture interests upfront — Add a custom field 'Programme of interest' (single choice across your programmes) to your registration form. The breakdown is visible at a glance in your dashboard, and the CSV export groups registrants by programme — each teaching team gets a list ready for pre-orientation.
  • 3
    QR code = priority entry — Scanned registrants are identified instantly. Walk-ins remain welcome but understand the pre-registered queue moves first. Virtuous effect on the next edition.
Save time with the writing assistant — Describe your event in one sentence and let the assistant pre-fill the title, description and registration fields suited to this type of event. You stay in control: review and adjust before publishing.
