Join an event
As a participant, you can join an event either by clicking the 'Attend' link in an integrated application such as Cornerstone Saba, or by entering an event attend URL provided by the event's host through an email or a calendar invitation.
The event host (leader) controls, on an event-by-event basis, how much information participants need to attend the event after they browse to the URL.
- Open your email or calendar invite and click the event URL. If you do not have
an event invite, then contact your event host.
The event details page opens.
- Enter your email address and click Attend.
If you are an enrolled user, then depending on your system configuration, you simply join the event either in the App or the Express client. If you do not have the App installed on your device, then you are prompted to download and install the App client to proceed.
- If you are a guest user, then you need to enter additional information:
- Enter your details such as first name, last name, and display name.
- If prompted, enter an event password. You can find the password in your email invite.
- Click Attend.
Depending on your system configuration, you join the event either in the App or the Express client. If you do not have the App installed on your device, then you are prompted to download and install the App client to proceed.
Rejoin an event
There might be situations where participants exit an event either accidentally or due to technical issues such as power outage or abrupt device shutdown. There might also be other situations that may require a leader to take action on unruly participants in a session by removing them from the session. Such users may attempt to rejoin the event when the situation improves.
Cornerstone Classroom allows participants and presenters who were ejected from an event by the event leader, to rejoin the event if the event leader or presenter allows them to do so.
When an ejected user attempts to rejoin the event, the App launches and pauses with a dialog box indicating that they need to wait till the event leader or presenter approves their request to rejoin.
The user's request to rejoin the event is displayed to all presenters in the event simultaneously. They can either approve or reject the user's request.
- When a presenter approves the request, the ejected user is allowed to login to the event and the dialog boxes shown to all presenters are removed.
- When neither the presenters nor the ejected user perform any action (inactivity), the dialog boxes for both are timed out and removed after 60 seconds, and the ejected user exits the App.
- When a presenter rejects the request, the ejected user exits the App and the dialog boxes shown to all presenters are removed.
