Here are the basic intructions for manually adding a new participant in an existing event in CiviCRM through the Joomla Administrator area.

1. Login to Joomla's Administrative area.
2. Select Components/CiviCRM.
3. Click on Events/Register Event Participant.
4. Search to see if participant is already an existing contact: enter their name in the Select Contact field. CiviCRM will do a dynamice search and display the contact's profile in a drop-down menu if they are in the system. If so, select their profile. If no, click the Creat New Contact drop-down menu and assign them to the proper group (usually individual).
5. Select the event.
6. Choose their correct Role.
7. Registration Date should be pre-filled with the current date.
8. Participant Status defaults to Registered.
9. Event Source – How you obtained the registrant's request, i.e., Phone call, Email Request, Personal Contact, etc.
10. If you have any pertinent notes, enter them in the Notes field.
11. Click Save, or Save and New to add another registrant.
