Additional Questions
Registrant Additional Questions
These standard questions allow for asking up to 5 additional questions during the registration process. Use cases might be to ask for a T-Shirt size or about dietary restrictions. These fields have specific preconfigured field types (e.g. text, picklist, etc.). The standard questions are configured on the Summit Events event pages and appear below standard questions on the registration form. You can select which ones you want to display, if the field should be required, you can even change the label of the question. These may be all that is needed for most of your events. If you have more advanced needs, Summit Events also provides the ability to create your own custom questions.
