Under this tab, you will choose the fields, including any user-defined fields, you want to add to the Registration Contact or RegContactPage.html so that the fields appear on the web pages. This step is important whether you are using the EventPro Planner Web Page Editor or another HTML Editor. Regardless of which editor you use, you must select the fields here in order to add them to the Registration Contact page. Even if you add the correct field to the code, e.g. {%editAttendeeType%}, the field will not appear on the web page if it is not under Selected Fields.
| 1. | Click on the field you want to use under All Fields and click the > arrow to place it under Selected Fields. |
| 2. | Continue selecting all of the fields you want to use. |
| 3. | To remove a field from Selected Fields, click on the field and click the < arrow. |
You can then set the properties and defaults for each field.
| 1. | Click on a field in the Select Fields column. |
| 2. | To move the field up or down in the list of Selected Fields, click the v or ^ arrows. |
| 3. | In the column to the right, the properties of the selected field appear. The Label will default to the name of the field, but you can type in a new label if you wish. For example, you could type in "Last Name" for the field "LastName" or "Office Phone" for the field "Phone1" so that it is clearer for the attendee filling out the information. |
| 4. | If you want a Default to automatically fill in, enter the default here. |
| 5. | If the field is required for online registration, check the Required checkbox. |
| 6. | Some fields, such as Attendee Type and Status will automatically have a drop-down selection list from which the attendee can choose an option. However, you can create a custom selection list for any field if you want to limit the attendees to certain pre-set options. |
| a. | To create a selection list, check the Use Selection List box. |
| b. | To add the list items, click the ellipsis next to the List Items field. |
| c. | The Edit Combo List window appears. Type in the options that will appear in the drop-down list, ensuring that if they refer to a field in EventPro Planner (e.g. an attendee type or status), that it exactly matches what it is in EventPro Planner. The Attendee Type list is case sensitive, so ensure capital letters are used correctly. |
| d. | If you want to map the values you have entered to values stored in EventPro Planner check the Map Displayed Value to Stored Value checkbox. For example, you may have created a User Field for Attendees called "Select T-Shirt Color", and you created a drop-down list containing "B", "W" and "G". Now, in the Edit Combo List window, you can map B=Black, W=White and G=Grey, where, for example, "B" is the Stored Value and "Black" is the Displayed Value. The drop-down on the web page will display Black, White and Grey, but the database only stores the single character. |
| e. | When you have entered all of the options you need in the Edit Combo List window, click OK. You will return to the Entry Fields tab of the Online Event [Edit] window. |
At this point, you have selected the fields you want attendees to fill out in Attendee Online. However, if you published the event online now, these fields would still not appear. By default the RegContactPage.html displays Title, First Name, Last Name and Email. If you want any other field, such as Attendee Type, to appear, in addition to selecting them here, you must also manually add them to the template.
To learn how to adjust the templates to add other fields, see Edit Webpages.
