We need the ability to have a separate registration form for when members add guests to their registration.

OR

We need the ability to be able to select which fields from the main registration form populate fields on the guest’s registration form.

Guests for our members are typically spouses and share the same contact info. Members have complained they don’t like retyping information for their spouses that is automatically populated in fields on their own registration form.

We ask the following from the member for a weekend event:
Address
Home phone
Cell #
Email
Aircraft Type
Tail #
Flying or driving
ETA
Then we ask a series of preferences.

---------
For the guest, I need only the:
Name
Cell #
Email
Series of preferences
The fields that should carry over from the main registration are:
Address, home phone, aircraft type, tail #, flying or driving, ETA

YES YES. Having different forms based on Registration Type or other selection method would be awesome.

I would find it useful to assign a form style to certain membership levels or groups. SO if you are at membership level x, you automatically get form x , otherwise form y. This way, the user doesn't have to pick a Registration type.

I would think this would be a setting in the event so it could be different for each event.

Wow, this is quite elaborate scenario, thanks for all the details. We will get to this as soon as we start analysis on it (not yet though)

I could use more customizable event registration as well.

Here's my current scenario:

For our annual conference, we have 3 registration types: Member, Student, and Nonmember.

We have three registration times: Early, regular, or onsite.

The conference is scheduled for 4 days, with concurrent workshops happening 8 times. 4 workshop slots are 3 hours, and the other 4 are 2 hours. Each workshop slot has 3 different workshops (so 24 distinct workshops).

People can register for the entire conference, all day, or for single workshops.

Attendees who have national certification need to register for Continuing Education Units (CEUs), which cost $5 per workshop. But noncertified members don't need to pay for CEUs.

I'd like the ability for members to select which sessions they are attending without making each workshop its own event, which also doesn't work for attendees paying for all day or full conference attendance.

It would be nice if selecting workshops would automatically calculate which registration type is the cheapest, as well as adding on CEU fees if appropriate.

Currently I have a Workshops multiple choice field for attendees to select which workshops they are planning on attending, but there's no way to limit attendance for those workshops based on who registers first. I also have a CEU fee extra charge calculation field set up.

Me too! We have events that have additional cost for babysitting. If you aren't using this feature, you still need to see all of your information listed there. Would love a conditional field on the registration form "if you click the checkbox then expand this section of the form" type thing.

This would be a very useful tool for us. Some registrants are needing meals only and not attending sessions so should not have to go through the entire form.

Yes I would like to see this. For our events, different categories @ different prices have different options. Right now we have no way of simplifying the registration process without creating broad general categories of choices,

This would be GREAT if it could happen sooner rather than later. I could rally use this give my events a much better look and feel and make my tasks easier.

I know this is an old thread, but I am new user who has just stumbled into this same problem. I just wanted to add my 'me too' and see if there has been any movement on this since the thread stalled.

P.S. I've never posted before, so I hope I am doing this in the right place.

It's quite a bit of work, but this is on our (long-term) roadmap, I will merge into existing thread.

How difficult would it be to apply the same concept available in "Customize member database fields" to the event registration forms?

As written currently, you can customize specific database fields to appear in specific types of membership levels. For example, you might want to collect a company name for those selecting institutional membership but not for those selecting individual membership. And you can design the membership fields to only appear when a specific type of membership is available.

So how difficult would it be to apply that same concept to event forms? When someone selects a Day registration as a registration type, the registration form will show the "Select the day you wish to attend" option... but when someone selects Full registration as a registration type, the registration form WILL NOT show the "Select the day you wish to attend" option.

Make sense?

Another way to ask would be, if you look at the Membership fields settings page you see 3 options:

Field applies to:__ All fields, __ all fields in level ((Select membership level)), __ common for all levels.

Can the registration form fields page be changed to say:

Field applies to: __ All fields, __ all fields in type ((select REGISTRATION TYPE)), __ common for all fields.

Thanks in advance.

I'd also need conditional fields, not so much for event registration but the membership application. So that I don't have to inflate the number of membership types.

My example: Certain people can join for a reduced rate. But students would have to upload a copy of their ID (mandatory) , others not. By now I need two membership types for that..

Or: every applicant must send a CV. But this can be a link to a website OR a document to be pasted in another field (or uploaded (wishlist!), then invisible to others. I don't see how I can solve this issue now.

Thanks

This makes total sense, I though we already had a thread about this but could not find one.

This thread made me think of this: http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8826646-multiple-choice-with-extra-cost-needs-more-mgmt

Would love to have a feature where the questions in an event registration changed depending on what registration type you selected. I could have used this feature on multiple occasions, but because of the current layout, I've created separate events.

For example, if we have both students and professionals attending an event, we would ask the students what University they are from, what professor they want extra credit for. Professionals, we'd ask their license number to submit continuing education credits. Right now we ask ALL these questions but they are optional to answer. Would be nice if you selected "professional" registration all the student questions went away.

This is very similar to a feature that is already available in the membership form. How certain fields only apply for certain membership levels.

Thanks for your input, we will consider this in our scenarios.

I would like the ability to restrict additional cost fields to certain event registration types. For instance, I'm working with a conference that has the following registration levels:
* Full conference, early bird
* Full conference
* One day only
* Student
* Pre-conference only

The problem is that the pre-conference can be added to the first four registration types. But if I add pre-conference as a multiple choice item with extra cost, it still shows up on the pre-conference only registration type. Also, student pre-conference is a different amount so I would like to distinguish between student pre-conference and regular pre-conference and have them show up as add'l costs for the applicable registration type.

The solution would be the ability to choose which registration types an extra cost shows up for, similar to the way the membership registration form allows one to restrict some fields to targeted membership types.

Best,

Jennifer Walker

p.s. - great product; keep up the great work!!

I also need more flexibility in the event set-up. We have conferences where there are several ticket types for 1 event, just like the others indicated here. We have been using eventbrite for our events and their "ticket" system works quite well. For example you can set up: (This is directly from the eventbrite event we set up.

This is an extreme example, but it worked well for us. Also, need a way to send invitations to a select group of people.

Thanks

Conditional fields would be awesome too -- and not just for event registrations but for the membership application as well!

But it will not solve my complex, multi-day, multi-type registration problem.

Thanks Russell, appreciate the detailed example - this is exactly the kind of information we are looking for, please always feel to share as broadly as possible so that we understand full context.

I have a great example of this that I am having to deal with right now. This event actually covers 2 wishlist items, but that is a different matter.

I have an event with 3 Registration types.

This is a joint event between our organization and another organization, which accounts for the first 2 registration types.

1. Member Registration

2. Other Organization Member: Uses entry code to validate membership

3. Non-Member - Signing up for this costs a flat amount which will give the person membership in both organizations for a year. For this reason, we are collecting address, job title, and other contact information for these people.

The information that is being collected for Membership Type 3, does not need to be collected for #'s 1 or 2. We already have that information for existing members.

I think that this directly supports the need to have Registration Form Fields be tied to the Registration Type.

On the separate note, is the wish, which has been discussed in other places, to tie event registration and membership registration together. Since the Non-members will gain membership in our organization for a year when they pay, we will have to separately add them as members, and re enter the collected contact information into the appropriate fields under membership. It would be great to have, for example, a checkbox option to add this registration type as new members, and also to select which membership type should be applied. This would then autogenerate an invoice and payment completion with the fee that was included on the event registration form.

Another tangent: If you are able to link a membership, and a membership type, then if this is done when setting up a membership form, if you pulled the list of available fields from a membership type, and could choose to add those to the registration form so they would be directly linked like the initial contact fields are now.

Sorry those other comments are off topic. Feel free to move them if there is a more appropriate place.

Russell
