Public Registration Form
To set up a registration form, in your event, go to Registration in Dashboard's side nav
Click create to set up a new reg form, or edit an existing one.
Settings
- You can indicate whether your registration form is active or not by using the manual "Registration is open" toggle. You can also set your reg form to open and/or close at a specific time. Note that the time set here will be in the timezone selected in Event Settings > Event Info. If you are setting your form to closed, it's a good idea to add a message to the "Registration Closed Message" textarea. This textarea takes HTML or just regular text.
- If you need to, you can edit the Submit button text, as well as the success message the attendee will see after submitting the form
- Advanced:
- If needed, you can customize your form styles here with custom HTML/CSS/JS
- Eventfinity uses emails as an identifier, and as such, a public registration form will need to collect emails. If you won't be collecting emails from your attendees, you can enable "Generate fake emails", which will insert the attendee submissions with generic emails. Please note though, that depending on the set up of your event, this may affect or even prohibit the attendee's ability to log in or receive information, such as a registration form confirmation email.
Fields
If you are creating a new form, when you proceed to the Fields tab in your form edit, you'll have the option to create your form using a template.
Basic: single page form collecting basic information such as attendee name, email and address
Advanced: multi-tab form with all the basics plus an attendee photo upload, company info, and a review page before submitting
Blank: start fresh with your own custom form/fields
Once you've selected a template, you can always edit it as needed. This may just help you get set up quickly with your form.
To build or edit the form, simply drag and drop fields where you want them.
Form Field Block Notes
Attendee custom fields: These will pull over all fields/sections that exist in Attendees > Attendee Settings > Attendee Fields > custom fields
For any custom fields that have dropdown options, those should be managed in the Attendee Fields section. Any options will be automatically pulled into your forms.
Conditional fields:
Domains & Form Access
Once you have your registration form created, we can set up how attendees will access the registration form. There are 2 basic methods - a publicly accessible registration form, or an invite/login only registration form.
Public Registration Form
A publicly accessible registration form allows anyone who has the link to register themselves for the event. This adds them as an attendee into the event (by default with Registration Status = Pending).
To set up your form for this, create a domain in Event Settings > Web Access Domains and select "Open Registration Form" from the Domain Access Type dropdown. Set your URL and hit create.
