The events team at our organization does not want to add every event participant as a full RE constituent. Not everyone invited is a guest of a someone or guest of an organization. Some participants they want to invite to events, but they know the participant may not warrant being made into a full RE constituent at this time. Adding unnecessary RE records adds a lot of junk RE records and increases our database numbers, with records that we might not ever do anything else with. Our organization operates in a wide geographic area and have many large events with a lot of participants within a year. Our events team prefers more control and options, than less control and options for working events. You currently CAN do this in Database view, add non-guest event participants that are not full constituents to events as participants. But you CANNOT do this in RE NXT Web View, yet. I have been going back and forth between web view and Database view to input event lists into RE to do what our events team requests, because of this discrepancy. Please fix and change! Thank you.

We hold some community events and have people who register for the free event, show up once and then we never hear from them again. We do not need these people to be constituents in RE. But I can't have my Events person add them in NXT because then they have to be a full constituent. I have to do this myself in database view, which is much more time consuming. Would love to be able to add non constituent participants in NXT please!

I want to utilize the events feature for our annual scholarship luncheon, but there is no reason our student participants need to have a constituent record created. We want to save records for actual donors.

It's very important to be able to register non-constituents iwithout the system creating a constituent record for them. Not only does that increase our record count, but it does not necessarily follow all the processes and protocols we have in place for creating new records. We have several family-friendly events and do not want to create records for minor children, etc...

YES!! This would be very beneficial and keep our system from getting bogged down with unnecessary constituents. Lots of grumbling in our office over the fact one time participants have to become a new constituent in NXT.

We continue to struggle to get our staff to use RE, and this is part of the struggle: the inability to do their jobs in web view. If we can do it in DB view, we should be able to do it in web view.

YES PLEASE! If this can be done in Database view, this should also be available in Web-view. It would make things so much easier.

@Laura MacKay, a work-around for you might be to make a generic constituent (ie, Miscellaneous Donors) a participant at your events, then if the Events Team can't fine someone else, they can add it to the generic constituent and stop tracking participation information in two places.

Yes, we need the option to allow non constituent registrants via the online event registration form. If there is not a match to a current constituent record could these records receive a non constituent record.

While being able to add non-constituents as Named Guests or an Unknown Guest is good, it does require you link it to someone that's already attending. Our organization needs the ability to add a non-constituent to an event in NXT even if we have no idea who they are a guest of. We want accurate attendance numbers, and we want our events team to be able to add non-constituent, non-guest attendees in NXT. Right now, all they can do is create an excel list of people they couldn't find in NXT and send it to 1 of the few people who have RE database view so they can add them to the event modules.
