Form editor

In this article you'll learn how to customize your events' registration form to match your needs.

Table of contents

 

You can find the form editor in your event under the menu item Form > Form Editor.

Add field

Fields can be added to the registration form simply through the use of drag-and-drop.
There are two groups of fields available:

  • Pre-defined fields 
    This group consists of common form fields and is available by default for each event. These fields can only be used once in the form.
  • Custom fields
    In this group you'll find different field types from which you can create your own fields. These fields can be used several times throughout the form.

Don't forget to save the form when you've finished 😉

Ask deregistration reason

In the list of predefined fields, you will find the Deregistration reason field. By default, this field is only available for events with a closed group of participants and is only displayed when guests decline your invitation. You have the option to customize the label if you want to use a term other than "Deregistration reason".

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can I show or hide fields depending on the answer?

No, unfortunately it is not (yet) possible to create such conditions in the form.

Is it possible to hide the "Participate yes / no" field?

No, this field is a required field which is automatically displayed in the form. However, for public events, this option is only visible to guests with an invitation (and guest code). People accessing the page via the public link can only register for the event.
