How do I use the 'Event Form' to create an event that is right for me?

Please note that the following article shows functionality for the new version of our form editor (v2). If you are using our legacy form editor (v1), you can still follow the steps in the article below, but the location of the options noted may be different. If you wish to switch to the new version of our editor, please contact us at getregistered® support.

To begin building your event registration form, click on the 'Registration Form Editor' tile on your dashboard.

If you have not added any information to the form, it will appear with one pre-populated section titled 'Your information'. You can change this title and begin adding your own information and add new sections to the registration form.

How do I add fields, inputs and widgets to my event registration form?

While interacting with sections you can select various field/options to help build your customized registration form. We currently offer the following inputs as standard, all of which are available under the 'Form Builder' column on the right of the page:

Layout

Subsection - add a subsection to an event form 'Section', allowing you to group fields/inputs/widgets in one area. Fields/inputs/widgets can be organised by 'drag and drop'.
Info Text - add some text to your form to provide your attendees with additional information if necessary. 'Info Text' fields can be formatted using Markdown.

Standard Inputs

Text Field - adds a single line text field to your registration form for attendees to complete.
Check Box - adds a checkbox to your registration form for attendees to select. Default data captured for reporting is 'Yes'/'No'.
Drop Down - adds a drop down selector to your registration form for attendees to select an option. Default options created for drop down choices are 'One'/'Two', but these can be changed when editing the input. Additional choices can be added if required.
Radio - adds a set of radio buttons to your registration form for attendees to select an option. Default options created for radio choices are 'One'/'Two', but these can be changed when editing the input. Additional choices can be added if required.
Number - adds a single line field to your registration form for attendees to complete that only accepts numbers.
Text Area - adds a text area to your registration form for attendees to populate. Text areas provide a larger area for attendees to input registration information, and can be useful for things such as listing specific dietary requirements, or any other information you wish to collect that may require a large amount of text.

Formatted Inputs

Date - adds a field to your event registration form that allows attendees to enter or 'pick' a date using standard date formatting.
Email - adds a field to your event registration form that allows attendees to enter an email address. Accepted input must match the standard for email addresses (eg [email protected])
Phone Number - adds a field to your event registration form that allows attendees to enter an phone/cell number. Accepted input must match the standard for US phone numbers (eg (555) 555-0199 or 555-555-0199)
Document Upload - adds a button to your event registration field that allows attendees to upload a document to their registration.

Widgets

Bookable Sessions - allows you to create a set of session bookings for your event which can be added to your event registration form. Helpful for allowing attendees to choose meetings/breakouts/activities at your event during registration. Event forms can have multiple session bookings added to them.
Room Block - allows you to build and add a room block for your event, with multiple room types available. When added to your registration form, attendees can select to reserve accommodation based on availability during registration. Event forms can have multiple room blocks added to them.
Lead Scanner - adds a checkbox to your event registration form that allows attendees to choose if they wish to add 'Lead Scanning' during registration. When selected by an attendee, they can scan the QR codes of fellow attendees during attendance to build up a catalog of potential leads

How do I save and/or preview my event registration form?

The Registration Form Editor allows you to 'Reset', 'Save', and 'Preview' any changes you make to your registration form - these options are available at the top of the editing area at all times. It is worth making a mental note to save as often as possible (by clicking the 'Save' button) as there is no automatic saving in place, and if you forget to save you could easily lose your work!

Note - 'History' is not available in the legacy version of our registration form editor

You also have the option to review every change that has been made to your event form via the 'History' option:

Your 'History' displays every change sorted by newest-first, showing exactly who made your changes and when. You can also undo changes made to your event form via the 'History' window by clicking on the red circular arrow icon with a '-' in the middle - simply select this and click 'Undo Changes' to revert the change:
