Collecting additional attendee information
Using the Events Module you can choose to collect additional information from people who RSVP or buy tickets to your events.
By default, RSVPs collect the user’s name and email address and people who purchase tickets are required to fill out their contact and payment information. However, if you need to collect additional information about attendees, you can accomplish this by using the "Attendee Information" feature.
OPTIONS
Anytime you create a ticket or RSVP, you have the option to click the Attendee Information option module. Once the module is expanded, the full attendee information options will appear (as shown below).
This module allows you to create any additonal fields that you want your attendees to complete when they RSVP or buy tickets for your event. These groups of fields are called fieldsets. Click the + next to each field type to add it to your fieldset. You can add multiple fields of any type, define titles and options, and change the order of the things within the fieldset.
Additionally, you can choose if fields are required or optional.
You can choose to define different Attendee Information for different tickets, or only collect information for some of your event’s tickets (it's up to you).
Once you have your Attendee Information fields defined, click Save this ticket. The fields will then be saved, and your attendees will be asked to fill them out for each ticket they purchase. (You’ll also need to publish or update your event in order to see the tickets on the event page.)
If you want to view the attendee information collected with each ticket sale or RSVP, it is displayed with on your event’s Attendees page.
SAVING AND REUSING FIELDSETS
You can save an attendee information fieldset for future use by selecting the "Save this fieldset for use on other tickets?" option under the main fieldset options. If you check the box, you can title and save the fieldset.
PROTIP: Saving fieldsets is very convenient when setting up recurring events like yearly conferences.
Saved fieldsets can be used on other tickets in the same event, or for tickets on other events. Instead of adding the same fields in the information module, click the "Start with a saved fieldset" option. The fields will automatically populate, and you can save the ticket or edit as needed. Changes to a saved fieldset are not saved by default.
