Set up registration

Set up the sign-up form for a "People register first" event, with your own questions.

If people register first, they fill in a sign-up form on your event page. This page shows you how to set up that form and add your own questions.

Steps

  1. Make sure Viewer access is set to People register first. See Choose who can watch.
  2. On the producer page, open Reports, records and access, then the Access & invitations tab.
  3. Fill in the sign-up form settings:
    • Introduction (optional): a few words at the top of the form, up to 2,000 characters.
    • Places: how many people can register. Type 0 for no limit.
    • Registration closes (optional): the date and time the form closes, in Melbourne time.
    • Event length in minutes: used for the calendar invite. It starts at 60.
  4. Add your own questions. Name and email are always asked. Choose Add a question for each new one, up to 12.
  5. Choose Save sign-up form.

Each question

  • Question: what you want to ask.
  • Answer type: Short answer, Pick one, or Tick boxes or a single "I agree".
  • Options, one per line: for Pick one and Tick boxes, up to 20. Leave it empty for a single "I agree" box.
  • Required: switch it on if people must answer.
  • Use the arrows to move it up or down, or Remove to delete it.
Three sign-up questions: a short answer, a Pick one question with options, and an "I agree" tick box.
