Important Tips to Remember in Creating an Event Form

There are 3 tabs in Form creation:

  1. Marketing Details (Contact Data)

    These are your most important details - First Name / Last Name / Email / Address etc.

    The ID/Name of these fields cannot be changed ... and you ought only to use them once in a form. Names are an exception to the rule because you have different options for Attendee types (Driver / Passenger etc.) and this allows the field to be used more than once.

    event forms

    The general rule is - If you cannot edit the ID/Name, please only use it once (unless it is a name)

    Always use an Attendee type to differentiate your contact's details

    event forms

    When it comes to fields like 'State' - You are able to change the LABEL (not the ID/Name field and also adjust the States you need to use. This needs to be flexible to allow you to use multiple options.

  2. Communication (Contact communication Data)

    These fields enable you to track contacts who fill out the forms. Whilst this is automatically covered for an event on your own website - if you wanted to place the form on someone else's website and be able to track where contacts came from - you might add a 'Referred by' field. In this way, you can separate different areas (when & If required).

    event forms
  3. Form Element

    You will need to use these whenever you want to include additional fields. They can be used over and over again. These fields can be renamed & the ID/Name field changed. This ensures recovering the additional data is easy. There are drop-downs and other options which provide flexibility within your form

    event forms

NB! Always use Form Elements for additional data and Marketing Details for essential

Event PDF attachment on email

Where will be the created PDF From Forms be attached?

This documentation shows information on managing event PDF attachments on email notifications.

Created PDFs from event forms will be attached in the following emails :

  • Booking confirmation email - which will be emailed to the organiser email of the event after the attendee submits the booking form.
  • Attendee notification email - which will be emailed to the attendee after the payment is done.

NB! Since the payment type may not be included in the PDF created in the organiser email, you can cc the email of the Event organiser on the Attendee Notification email template so they can also receive the PDF attachment with the Payment type. Here’s a video guide on how to find the Attendee Notification email template for the Event.

PDF


What will be the display on the attached PDF if the checkbox on the form is checked/ticked?

It will display as "on" if the checkbox is ticked and empty if not.


Is it possible to attach a different file with the PDF?

It is not part of the original requirements, so it is not possible for now.

However, you can either add the text on the word template or create a page that includes the content of the file and then add the link on the word template. As a result, it will display as a hyperlink on the PDF form attached to the email and they can just go to the pages created for the terms and conditions.


What if all multiple events on the same page have their own different Word Templates?

If all events on the same page have their own different Word Template, all of the PDF forms will be received by both the organiser and the attendee. So if the page has three different events and three different word templates, all of the three PDF forms that are created will be received by the attendee.


Setting Up a Word Template

What is a Word Template

It is a word document (.doc or .docx) that will be used as a template for the PDF creation.


What is a Curly Bracket

Curly Bracket { } is a script that will help the system add the details from the event-form to the PDF.

    Add the copied ID/Name on the document
    NB! Make sure you put it between the two Curly Brackets. For example below the ID/Name is FirstName, it should be added on the document like this - {FirstName}

  • 3
    Save the changes on the word document and you are now ready to upload the template for the event using the guide on
    How to Add Word Template of PDF form in Events link here →
  • 4

    If there are fields that have the same ID/Name. Please follow the below:

    • Get the duplicate fields ID in the Form then add an underscore and chronological order number after the field ID/Name - i.e Three FirstNames will have a record of FirstName_1(Can also be just FirstName), FirstName_2 and FirstName_3. We are using field_(index) format and not field(index) because there are fields with numbers in them like AddressLine1.
    • When the admin wants to check the index or the chronological order of the duplicate fields, use the order of the Fields in the form builder to find the index
      NB! To get correct results, make the duplicate fields required.
    NB! The ID/Name of the form fields under the Marketing tab can't be renamed. However, some of the form fields on the Marketing tab are also on the Form Elements tab - there you can rename the ID/Name of the form fields.
