This article provides information on how to designate which fields an event attendee must fill out when registering. In other words, these fields are required.
To learn how to set up registration for an event, please read this article: How do I create a registration form for an event?
Within Advanced, navigate to Settings
From there, scroll down to the events settings, as designated by the word event.
The following can be changed to be required or not required on your event registrations:
- event.attendant.requires.company
- event.attendant.requires.e.mail
- event.attendant.requires.first.name
- event.attendant.requires.last.name
To edit a setting, click True or False under value and change it to the opposite .
event.attendant.requires.company
Click the value under value, either true or false next to event.attendant.requires.company. Type true or false in the Value field (circled below) to indicate required (true) or not required (false).
- true - This means the user must include a company name when registering for the event.
- false - This means the user does not have to include a company name when registering for the event.
Do NOT change the content in the Name or Description field
Changes save automatically.
Follow the same steps for:
