The different Registration form fields you decide to use for your Registration Form can be made visible or hidden by going to Manage > Registration Form. In this segment, you will be asked to choose which fields will be visible and which ones will be hidden. For visible fields, you can choose to make those optional or mandatory, depending on the Event area you're modifying.
In this article we will cover all the areas where fields can be made visible and how they can be used to capture data.
Area Selection
When you access the Registration Form, you will see a message that reads:
Choose the visibility for platform
Next to it, you should see a dropdown menu that lets you select the area of the platform we're going to be modifying. You can choose one of six options:
- Event Page: If you're hosting your registration through Boomset, the fields made Optional, Required or Hidden in this area will determine the way your Registration Form looks.
- Guest List Admin Mode: When you open the Guest List app, you're in it's admin mode. The fields made visible here will affect what the Group Members see when they access the Guest List app in this mode. Your options here will be a bit different — Read Only and Visible, with the latter making it unable to edit Guest Info.
- Guest List Kiosk Mode: This area will determine the way the Registration Form will look like for walk-ins. You can choose to make options here Required, Optional, or Hidden.
- Virtual Profile: If a field is made visible here, that attendee detail will be visible in their virtual profile.
- Virtual Community: If a field is made visible here, that attendee detail will be visible in the Community. Though, please note that an attendee can made their profile hidden from the Event Appp.
Visibility Options
When making changes, you will see different visibility options depending on the area where you're making changes. These options are as follows:
- Required: Attendees will need to answer this question to proceed.
- Optiona: Attendees do not need to answer this question to proceed.
- Visible: The answer to this field will be visible in the designated area.
- Read Only: The answer will be visible but cannot be modified.
Required and optional will be the chocies for the Event Page and Guest List Kiosk Mode. While Visible and Hidden will be the options to choose in the other sections. Read Only is mainly used for the Guest List App in Admin Mode.
