Create content for custom registration forms

When you host events that you require people to register for, you might need to collect information from them that isn't included on the standard Trumba® registration form. To get this information from your visitors, you can create your own questions.

You can also create instructions for answering your custom questions and headings that divide your form into sections.

In this partial registration form, the section heading is surrounded by a red line. Instructions are underlined in red.

After you create questions, instructions, and section headings, you can add them to custom registration forms.

Tip You create questions for registration forms the same way you create custom fields for event types. Get an overview of the process for creating custom registration forms…

To create registration questions

1. In your Trumba editing environment, click Define registration forms.

   

2. In the Define Registration Forms page, click Add registration question.
3. In the Question Name section of the Add Registration Question page:
   • Enter the question name, which will correspond to column headings in the Event Registration tab that appears when you edit an event.
   • Enter the question itself, which is the question that your visitors see and answer on the registration form.

   The following set of pictures shows how the question and question name are used. The red letters indicate three different question and question-name pairs.

   

4. For the Question Type section:
   • Select the question type.
   • Enter a default value (optional).
   • For Value required, specify whether the visitor needs to answer this question.
   • Define the minimum or maximum number of characters (for text strings) or numeric value (optional).

5. In the Security section, select the owning calendar for the question.

   The registration question you create becomes available from any calendar in your account. However, if you want other calendar editors in your organization to have access to it, select a calendar that you share with them.

6. Click OK, and on the Registration Forms page, do any of the following:
   • Add more questions.
   • Add or edit a custom registration form.
   • Return to your calendar.

   • Registration instruction if you're creating an instruction.

6. In the Security section, select the owning calendar for the question.

   The instruction or section heading that you create becomes available from any calendar in your account. However, if you want other calendar editors in your organization to have access to it, select a calendar that you share with them.
