Collect Event Attendee Information
Custom Fields can be used to increase and improve information regarding individual attendees.
Uses for Custom Fields:
- Collect information from attendees when they purchase tickets
- Examples: Meal Choice, Table Preference, Job Title
- Assign information to attendees
- Examples: Table and Seat Placement, Custom Notes
How to Set Up Custom Input Fields
- Go to your Event and click 'Edit'.
- Go to Ticketing and inside any ticket, click 'Show Advanced Settings'.
- Create a New Custom Field
- Field Name: this will only be displayed to customers if you make field 'Visible' for customers
- Description: include instruction to clarify what this custom field is used for, or leave it blank
- Field Type: Text Field or Selection
- Choose Text Field if you want your customer or your staff to type in information
- Use Selection when you want users to choose from a limited selection of options
- You can include basic inventory for Selections. Each time a customer selects an option, the available total is reduced by one. When an option reaches zero, it will no longer be selectable by the ticket purchaser.
- Visibility:
- Set this to 'On' if you want customers to be able to make the selection.
- Leave it Off if you plan to assign the tables to Attendees in the dashboard
- Required: generally this is only needed when Visibility is On. This forces customers to choose one before they complete their purchase.
- Default Value: use this in cases where you want one of your options to be default.
