Global guest fields

Introduction / Overview:

Global guest fields allow admins to create fields that appear consistently across all events. This feature helps maintain uniformity in data collection whilst saving admins time when setting up guest registration fields.

Activation & Set-up:

This setting is available by default.

Steps / How to:

1. Head to settings, click on the 'Lists' tab, and scroll down to 'Guest Registration Fields'
2. Click 'Add guest registration field'
3. Create your desired field
4. Change the 'display field on all events' settings to either 'Yes - optional' or 'Yes - mandatory' depending on whether you want the field to be optional or mandatory for guests or users to fill out.

Admins will be able to identify which fields are global guest fields by the globe icon shown in the example below.

Best Practices

1. Use mandatory global fields for essential information you need across all events
2. Review your global field settings carefully before implementation, as mandatory settings cannot be changed at the event level.
