Event Form Fields Overview
After creating a form and adjusting your Form Properties, it’s time to build out the data-collection Form Fields. Whether you're creating a detailed Event Registration form or a simple Contact form, the Form Fields all operate in a similar manner.
Locate Form Fields:
- Click on the Event Forms tab in the left or top menu, and select from your list of created forms. Your Form Builder page will appear. *If you just created a new form, you should already be on the Form Builder page!
- View all Form Field options in the menu on the right side of your screen.
Options for all Field Types
Once you've decided on the appropriate fields to collect your data, you can begin to click the fields to add them in the order you need, or drag and drop them to the correct spot. As soon as you click and release a field, the Field Property box will appear. You'll notice three tabs at the top of most Field Property boxes.
General Info: customize the name, placeholder (example answer), help text (fine print or instructions) including the Validation field to make field required or optional
Options: Used if you want the ability to add multiple lines
Conditions: do you want field on form always or only if ____ (i.e. the "Select a size" field appears only appears if registrant chooses "Yes" to the "I'd like to purchase a t-shirt" field.) You can set more than one condition if necessary.
If you need to make adjustments on an existing field's properties, click the gear symbol to the far right hand corner of that specific field.
Email Placeholders
Almost all fields translate to a placeholder in your Form Email Notifications pulling responses right into those emails. For example, using the placeholder for a payment field within an email notification would create a receipt or proof of purchase to the email recipient. Placeholders will be automatically created and accessible in Form Properties.
Form Fields are powerful, and deciding which ones to use is important.
