# Adding Students to a Normal Event

#### Adding Students to a Normal Event

**Q: We'd like our Normal event to let parents attach their students. Can we import a student list into pickAtime?**

Yes. Follow these steps to set up student-participant relationships, similar to a standard PTA event:

#### Step 1: Import Your Data

<div id="bkmrk-update-and-import-yo"><div data-test-render-count="1"><div class="group"><div class="contents"><div class="group relative relative pb-3" data-is-streaming="false"><div class="font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [&_pre>div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"><div><div class="standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&_>_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown">1. Update and import your [student data](https://help.pickatime.com/books/importing-data-files-in-pickatime/page/student-file).
2. *(Optional)* Set up and import a [participant-student relationship file](https://help.pickatime.com/books/importing-data-files-in-pickatime/page/parent-student-relationship-file)

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>#### Step 2: Enable the Student Selection Setting

Go to the **Settings / UI Setup page / Scheduler Settings / Miscellaneous**, and enable: **"Require participants to select their student name from a drop-down when booking an appointment."**

<div id="bkmrk-"><div data-test-render-count="1"><div class="group"><div class="contents"><div class="group relative relative pb-3" data-is-streaming="false"><div class="font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [&_pre>div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"><div><div class="standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&_>_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown">---

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>#### What This Changes for Participants

Once enabled, the booking flow will work like a standard PTA event:

<div id="bkmrk-when-participants-fi"><div data-test-render-count="1"><div class="group"><div class="contents"><div class="group relative relative pb-3" data-is-streaming="false"><div class="font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [&_pre>div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"><div><div class="standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&_>_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown">1. When participants first enter the event, they'll be prompted to **attach or review their students**, then click **Filter Slots** to see available times.
2. When booking, they'll select the correct student from a **drop-down list**.
