To edit the list of event types, log into the administrator and click Registry Settings. In the left icon menu, click the "Event List" icon.

If you wish to delete event types, click the "Del" link next to the event type you wish to remove. To add a new event type, fill in the event name field at the top of the list and, if desired, enter a sort order code.

By default, the event list will sort in alphabetical order. You may use both letters and numbers in the sort order code. The easiest sort codes to use are numbers such as 01, 02, 03, etc.

NOTE: If any event type sort code fields are left blank, they will sort to the top of the list.

To view a specific registry as the bride (or other registrant) will see it, log into the administrator and click "Maintain Registries".

From the registry list, click the name of the registry that you wish to view. In the left menu, click "Preview this Registry". You will see the registry displayed in a new window.

There are two things that can be done when a bride (or other registrant) loses their username or password.

First, if they are unable to log in, there is a link directly to the lost password finder from the registry login page. By entering their email address (as it is listed in their registry), the registrant(s) can have the system email the correct username and password.

In some cases, the email address might have been forgotten or was entered incorrectly. In these cases, the bride can contact you and you can look up the username and password for her registry.

Yes. When a new registry is created, there is an option to specify the "guest password". When a guest password is used, only the registrant name(s) and event date are visible in the search system. If anyone attempts to access the registry, they will be asked for the guest password. Only those to whom the bride has given the guest password will be able to access the registry.

The bride can change her guest password at any time. In addition, you can, at the bride's request, change the guest password for her from within the administrator.

Registry Valet maintains all registries in the system for at least 5 years.

In the Registry Settings section of the administrator, you will find a drop=down list box labeled "Keep Registries Available For". The choices in the list are 1 to 5 years. The number is pre-selected to 1 year. Changing this value does not change the length of time that registries are maintained, however, any registry older than the number of years you have selected will be treated as if it does not exist. This means that it will not appear in your list of active registries and the registrant will not be able to sign in to their registry even though it still exists within the system.

Any time a new registry is created you, as the site owner, are sent an alert email to let you know this has occurred.

To change the email address to which these alerts are sent, log into the administrator and click "Registry Settings". Edit the "Incoming Alert Email Address" field to change the email address to whatever address you would like.

Click "Update Settings" to complete the process.

To add your own custom text (and HTML code if you wish) to the registry confirmation email which is sent at the time that a registrant creates a new registry, log into the administrator and click "Registry Settings".

In the "Registry Confirmation Email Text" field, enter any legal HTML, javascript, graphics, and/or plain text that you would like. Click "Update Settings" to complete the process.

When you sign up for Registry Valet service, the application is in test mode. While in test mode, you may work on setting it up to work with your web site and test it for as long as you like. During this testing phase, you are limited to 3 active registries. All functions of the software are completely available and functional, but you may only have 3 registries which can contain as many items as you wish.

To remove this limitation, go to "Live mode". You generally will not go into live mode until you have fully integrated Registry Valet with your site and completed some testing of its features. Once in Live Mode, your first 30 days of service are free of charge. If you decide that Registry Valet is not right for your web site, you may cancel at any time by contacting the Agenne Corporation support staff.

It is easy to change to and from any background wallpaper or background color!

If you already have a background wallpaper specified, log into the administrator and click "Registry Settings". In the left menu, click "Registry Wallpaper". Uncheck the "Show wallpaper" checkbox and click "Update".

Next, go back to Registry Settings and edit the "Background color" field to be any HTML color value (or name such as "white", "red", etc.) and click "Update Settings".

The background wallpaper will now be replaced by the color your specified.

Yes. We recognize that some kinds of registrants, such as brides, may want to be surprised and not know the quantities of items that have been purchsed.

To handle this situation, Registry Valet allows the bride to set the registry at the time that she creates it to hide these quantities. On the Create New Registry form, there is a section called Preferences. Under this section, is a preference called "Hide Has and Still Needs Quantities". Checking this checkbox will hide these quantities. In addition, there is a Preferences section in the registry main menu when the bride has signed in to her registry where she can change this preference.

Registry Valet has the ability to display a block of registrant-specified text at the top of the list of items on each registry.

When a bride or other registrant logs in to their registry, they will see an item in the menu called "Update My Personal Message to Visitors". The registrant can click this link and create a personal message which will be displayed to each visitor to their registry.

Yes. You can copy the form code on the Registry Login page and paste it to your own website as a way for your customers to log in to their registries.

However, when one of your customers clicks the "Add to Registry" button on one of your product pages and they are not logged in to their registry, the default registry login page will still be displayed.

Most likely, either the "Confirmation Email Return address" or the "Incoming Alert Email Address" are incorrect or blank. If either of these fields is incorrect or blank, you will not be sent (or you may not receive) an alert email when a new registry is created.

The next thing to check is to make sure that the alert emails are not being intercepted by a SPAM filter. You should check SPAM or Junk Mail folders in your email system to see if the alert emails are being placed there.

Yes. The Add-to-Registry form code generator allows you to specify the options used in your add to cart code separately from the rest of the form.

In this way, the options can be shown to the registrant when they select items to add to their registries.

For more information about how to setup your Add-to-Registry button code with options, see the Registry Valet "Getting Started" Tutorial at http://www.registryvalet.com/getting_started.cfm

The purpose of the link associated with your logo (note that your logo is displayed if you are not using a custom HTML header) is to allow your customer to click your logo to open a new window where your home page will be displayed.

The problem is that your web site's home page URL is not correctly entered in the Company Information section of the administrator. This URL was entered when you first signed up for Registry Valet service.

It is important that your complete URL starting with "http://" is entered into the "Web Site Home URL" field. To find this field, sign in to the administrator and click the "Company and Accounting" icon in the "Account Management" panel on the main menu. Verify your full URL starting with "http://" is entered into this field. When you are done, click the "Update" button at the bottom of the form.

Yes. Registry Valet allows you to offer Gift Registries based on a specific type of event such as a wedding, anniversary, or other event OR open-ended Wish Lists, OR both.

To select which type of registries you will allow, sign in to the administrator and click the Registry Settings icon in the Registry Valet panel.

About halfway down the Registry Settings page is the "Allowed Registry Types" setting. Click the dropdown list to reveal the 3 choices;

Choose which type of registries you wish to offer and click the "Update Settings" button at the bottom of the page. This will change the text and links throughout the registry system to match the choice you have made.

No. Registry Valet is not designed to run within frames or iframes.
