There have been many times when a client wanted to use SharePoint in order to allow employees to register for classes or other events. Typically the requirement is to have a certain number of spots before registration is automatically closed. This is how I created a registration system for a client.
Administrators can create new classes/events just by adding them to the calendar and specifying the number of spots available.
The user goes to a page with a list of available classes:
Upon clicking the class name, the user will see an event from a calendar like this:
When they click on Register, the form will look like this:
Confirm Registration will automatically set the Seats Remaining to 1 less (24 in the example above).
NOTE: I am still working on a workflow that will allow a user to cancel their registration and add one back to the Seats Remaining as well as remove them from the Attendees list.
Once all seats have been taken, the Register link will be removed with the text Class is Full. If the class is closed for registration, it will state Closed for registration.
Create the Lists
- Calendar – Just use the out of the box Calendar app and add the following columns
- Required columns
- Seats – Number
- FilledSeats – Number – hidden column
- RemainingSeats – Calculated Column with Formula[code]=Seats-FilledSeats[/code]and data type returned Number
- SeatsIncrement – Calculated Column with Formula[code]=FilledSeats+1[/code]and data type returned Number
- Closed – Yes/No with default value of No
- StaticID – Number – Hidden column NOTE: This is a hack that allows the ID to be used in calculated columns. A workflow will set this field.
- Register – Calculated Column with Formula =IF(Closed=TRUE,”Closed for registration”,IF(RemainingSeats>0,”Register”,”Class is Full”)) and data type returned Single Line of Text
- Optional columns used for stylizing the display form as shown above:
- SeatsRemaining – Calculated Column with Formula
=CONCATENATE([Remaining Seats],” Seats Remaining”) and data type returned Single Line of Text NOTE: This will show how many seats remaining. If you choose not to hide the labels on the display form, then you can leave this column out. - CourseDescription – Multiple Lines of Text with Enhanced rich text. NOTE: In order to stylize the form I had to create a new Multiple lines of text column. The default Description column would not work with the JavaScript used to style the form. I hid the Description column.
- Attendees List – Custom SharePoint list with the following column added
- Meeting – Lookup. Get information from the calendar list created earlier using the Title field

The following controls will display a message to the user. The meeting/class is selected using a URL Parameter which will be created in the registration link later on using JavaScript.
- Add a Calculate Value form control
- Formula:
userProfileLookup(Current User,”FirstName”) +”,”
- Add a Calculate Value form control – This is the text the user will see when registering (Please confirm your registration for <Class Name> on <Class Date> at <Class Time> in the <Class Location>.)
- Formula:
“Please confirm your registration for ” + lookup(“Class Registration Calendar”, “ID”, txtMeetingID, “Title”) + ” on ” + formatDate(lookup(“Class Registration Calendar”, “ID”, txtMeetingID, “Start Time”), “D”)+ ” at ” + formatDate(lookup(“Class Registration Calendar”, “ID”, txtMeetingID, “Start Time”), “t”)+”-“+formatDate(lookup(“Class Registration Calendar”, “ID”, txtMeetingID, “End Time”), “t”)+” in the “+lookup(“Class Registration Calendar”, “ID”, txtMeetingID, “Location”)+”.”
- Change the Save button label to Confirm Registration
- Change the Cancel button label to Cancel Registration

Now just create a page with links to the calendar items.
Here’s how to send someone a list of your available time slots from Outlook 2007.
Create a new email item as per below example, then click the Calendar button:
The following form will appear:
Choose the Calendar (if you have multiple) and Date (or range) you want. I usually tick the box to limit it to just work hours.
Click OK and it inserts the list of available times into your email (note it requires the email to be in HTML format).
