About Custom Fields:

In addition to the common fields that are defined on the Personal Info and Lodging & Travel pages, you can create your own custom fields to collect other types of information. For example, you might want to know if the attendee has any special dietary needs. You could add your own custom field to collect this information, using a variety of field types (such as text boxes, dropdown lists, and so on), and you can create as many custom fields for your event as you require.

For details on how to create a new custom field, see the Related Link below.

Field Descriptions:

Once you have created one or more custom fields, this section will display a list of all custom fields that have been created in this event, with the following column headings:

Field – The name of this field in our database. Roll over this field to see the Caption on Registration Form entry.

Type – The Field Type for this field.

Limit – The limit on the number of attendees who can respond to this custom field, if specified.

Required & Visible – The Registrant Types that see this custom field. Entries in these columns are:

No – This field is not Visible/Required for any registrant types. 

Partial – Only some of your Registrant Types see this field. Roll over this column for a popup window displaying the registrant type(s) that see this field. 

All – All registrant types see this field.

Edit, Copy, Delete icons – Click the appropriate icon to make changes to this custom field, make a copy of it, or delete it, respectively. 

• You cannot delete a custom field if there are registrants (test or active) that have responded to this Custom Field. See the Related Link below for information on how to move an attendee from a custom field.

Additional Information:

You can reorder the sequence of your custom fields using “drag and drop”; that is, click once on the item that you wish to move, move your mouse pointer to where you want it to display, and then click again to drop the item into that location.
