After installation you can add a new content type to you site: the "Signup Sheet".
Starting configuration in the edit form is only about general information about the event, like:
After that your users can access a subscription form, but you can easily customize how the form looks like.
This product is based on PloneFormGen__ so you can use the same form construction features.
You have a great set of form fields available, but 3rd party products can enhance this list (for example:
a captcha protection field could help).

The form is automatically generated with three core fields:
The email field is recommended but you can freely change/delete them all and add much more fields.
Whatever form you define, your users must fill the form to subscribe.

Every time a user fill the form, a "registrant" content is created inside the "Registrants" subsection of
the form.
The registrant is real working document that an administrator can edit later (we are using the poweful
uwosh.pfg.d2c__ here).

For users able to manage the signup sheet an administrative view "View Registrant" is given.

From this view you can see the status of all subscriptions and confim them. Right now confirming a user subscription has only internal meaning and confirmed or unconfirmed users are not handled in different way.
Notification system
The Signup Sheet contains also two PloneFormGen mailer adapter, one for notification to the manager at every
new subscription, another for notify the user itself after the subscription (for receive a confirmation of filled
data).
You can customize those adapters for fit your needs (new mail messages, notify additional users, ...).
.. Note:: although both mailers are normal PloneFormGen items, the "*User notification mailer*" is
**disabled** by default. It's used in a special way and must stay disabled for proper working.
Automatic notifications apart you can also use the "*Notify Registrants*" view, to send a custom message to
all registrants (or to a part of them).

Historical tribute to SignupSheet
---------------------------------
Altough this product is using more recent Plone technologies, it's miming all the features of another product:
`SignupSheet`__.
__ http://plone.org/products/signupsheet
The software stack used in the orginal product has become too old to be maintained anymore. We hope this new add-on
will give same features and best flexibility.
