Custom Event Registration Questions
Customize your event registration form by asking attendees a series of questions before confirming their registration. Registration forms can be built for all types of events in Gradual, can be assigned to each ticket type and can include as many questions as you need to get the right information from your registrants.
Building your Event Registration Form
You will add any questions to the event registration process in the event dashboard.
Question Types
Single Select
Ask questions where the registrant can select only one option from a list
Multi Select
Ask questions where the registrant can select one or multiple options from a list
- You can also provide an 'Other' option that will prompt an open text field for users to enter their response
Single Line Text
Ask questions that the registrant would answer with a short line of text (maximum limit of 200 characters)
- You can also provide an 'Other' option that will prompt an open text field for users to enter their response
Paragraph
Ask questions that the registrant would answer with a longer paragraph of text (maximum limit of 1000 characters)
URL
Ask questions that the registrant would answer with a URL or link
Note: Currently, questions cannot be dependent on an attendee's response to another question or logic.
Add options for single or multi select questions by selecting the 'Add Option' green text at the base of the options. You can also provide an 'Other' option that will prompt an open text field for users to enter their response.
Single Select and Multi Select options can show in a variety of styles:
Checkbox [Multi Select only]
Populates check boxes beside the options for the user to select multiple options from the list
Radio buttons [Single Select only]
Populates radio buttons beside the options for the user to select a single selection from the list
Auto-fit box

Adding more registration forms
If you'd like to add another registration form to assign to another ticket type, select the '+ New Registration Form' button in the upper right-hand side of the page and build another form.
Linking Registration Forms to Ticket Types
You can build unique registration forms by ticket type. Once the registration form is built, following the steps above, you can link the registration form to the correct ticket type.
If you do not see the registration form from the drop down, navigate back to the Registration Form menu and enable, or build and enable the form.

Visibility of the form on the front end
The visibility of the registration form is set to be 'off' by default in your event dashboard. The questions will remain hidden on the front end until the toggle is switched 'on' in the upper right toggle labeled 'Enable'.
The toggle can only be switched on when at least one question has been added and saved.
Here is an example of a registration form in the event dashboard:

The form will prompt after the user selects 'Register' and enters their email address to sign in.
