Configuring form fields in a form under the “Fields” tab
Configuring form fields in the form under the “Fields” tab
Once you have configured the default settings for the registration form under the “Settings” tab, you can use the “Form fields” tab to configure the fields you want to be displayed on the event website and any actions you want them to perform.
“Form fields” tab:
This tab can be used to configure the fields and contents displayed on the registration form. The “Form fields” screen is divided into a “Field”, “Display for main guest” and “Display for additional guest” column.
“Field” column: Enter the field’s name (“Label”) into the input field the way you want it to be displayed to guests on the event website. The label shown directly above the name is the internal name for the field.
The right column, “Display for additional guest”, will only be displayed if you have activated “Personal data required” in the “Additional guests” field under the “Settings” tab.
“Display for main guest” (or “Display for additional guest” column: This is where you can define any actions to be performed by a field on the form on the event website:
- Hide: If you select “Hide”, this field will not be displayed on the website. This might apply when a field is only to be displayed for the additional guest, but not the main one, or vice versa.
- Standard field: This field will be displayed but is not mandatory.
- Mandatory field: This is a field that will have to be completed.
- Unique: If you select “Unique”, the system will check whether the data entered is already available in the guest list, such as the customer number or email address, when the form is being submitted.
- Read-only, standard: Guests will be unable to edit this field and will only be able to read the field’s content.
- Read-only, mandatory: Guests will be unable to edit this field if it contains a value when opening the form. However, if it is empty, it will act like a mandatory field and has to be completed. This can be useful in particular when configuring name fields for closed events to prevent people who haven’t been invited from registering for the event.
- Read-only, unique: This field works in the same way as “Read-only, mandatory”, but checks whether the data entered is already available in the guest list when the form is being submitted.
- Standard field without label: The field’s name will not be displayed on the website.
- Mandatory field without label: The field’s name will not be displayed on the website.
- Unique field without label: The field’s name will not be displayed on the website.
More settings: There are number of additional options available for configuring your form in a way that makes it easy to navigate:
- Field width: For defining the width of the field shown on the event website in 1/12 increments. The default width is 6, which is half the width of the form.
- Whole row: The field will be shown in a separate row irrespective of the selected field width.
- Restriction : If you select a guest category from this menu, the field will only be shown to this particular target group or for the selected tag.
- Condition : The field will only be displayed subject to specific data having been entered into another field.
The arrows to the left of the field name can be used to change the field’s position in the form.
