Registration & Landing Pages Add custom questions to a registration form In addition to standard registration questions, you can add custom questions to the registration form and choose how registrants will answer each question.

To add a custom registration question: On the left panel, click the Registration tab. Scroll to Custom Registration Questions and click Add New Custom Question. In the New Custom Registration Question section, enter the question (or field label), the type of question (will the registrant type their answer or select from defined answers?), and the column name to identify the question in reports. If you selected Drop Down List, Checkboxes, or Radio buttons as the Answer Type, enter the answers to the question and click + Add. Click Save Question. The new question is listed under Custom Registration Questions. Optional. Select Require to require registrants to answer the question to register. Repeat steps 3 to 7 to add more questions. Click Save and Continue to save changes to the registration form. You can edit or delete the custom questions at any time.

Checkboxes Multiple-choice questions where multiple answers can be selected Single Checkbox Questions where only one answer can be selected or for disclaimers or statements that need to be acknowledged Add marketing consent tracking to a registration form You can collect marketing consent from event and portal registrants and provide links to privacy policies, terms of service, and more on the registration form. Event and portal reports let you easily identify those who provided consent and ensure you communicate only with those who opted in. Registrants can unsubscribe from emails at any time by clicking Unsubscribe at the bottom of the email. To allow attendees to opt in to emails: Sign in to the Webcast Admin portal and edit the Live event or portal. On the left panel, click the Registration tab. Under Standard Registration Questions, select [INSERT COMPANY NAME HERE] may contact me.... In the Question field, delete [INSERT COMPANY NAME HERE], enter the name of your company or organization, and edit the text as needed. Click Save and Continue. The following example includes the marketing consent option and additional links.

Auto-fields for event landing pages Jump to: Auto-field reference  | Custom calendar reminders By default, the landing page includes the event title, the event date and time, and a calendar reminder button. It uses auto-fields - that is, placeholders or variables - to pull in these specific details. The benefit of auto-fields is that they automatically update when you make any changes to your event title or date on the Event Settings tab. To customize information on the landing page, scroll to the Customize Landing Page Content section and open Landing Page Content. Available auto-fields are listed below the text editor. Auto-field reference The format of an auto-field is __AUTOFIELD__ (the auto-field in ALL CAPS with two underscores before and after). The following table explains the available auto-fields and the text they display. Auto field Description __TITLE__ Event title __DATE__ Scheduled day, date, and time __DURATION__ For Live events. The scheduled duration of the event __REMINDERBUTTON__ Add to Calendar button __REMINDER__ The URL of the calendar reminder. Downloads an ICS with event details __REMINDERBUTTON1__ Add to Calendar button for the first custom calendar reminder __REMINDER1__ The URL of the first custom calendar reminder. Downloads an ICS with event details Custom calendar reminders Live events have a built-in calendar reminder that downloads a calendar file with the scheduled date and time, event URL, and other information. You can set up additional calendar reminders for the event. On the Event Summary tab, open Optional Event Settings and click Add New . Auto-fields are created for each new calendar reminder, with a number appended. Bulk registration for an event Add-on. Please contact your sales representative for additional information. With bulk registration, you can register hundreds or thousands of attendees for an event at one time. Set up your registration form first, then upload a spreadsheet with columns for each registration question on the form (attendee names, email addresses, etc.). To learn more about setting up the registration form, see Set up the registration form for an event. Notes: Bulk registration doesn’t send a registration confirmation email. Set up a reminder email to send event details to registrants.  You can view the registrant data you uploaded in the Audience Details report. To learn more about running reports, see Run event reports. You can't make changes to registrant data or unregister someone once you upload the file.

On the Viewer Registration Data window, click Upload data from file to select the spreadsheet and upload it. Select the sheet you want to import the data from and click Continue.

To not include a data column, click Ignore this column. Click Review. Correct any errors and edit registrant information before submitting. To only view errors that need to be corrected, set the Only show rows with problems option to ON.  Important: You can't make changes to registrant data after you submit it. Click Continue. A message asks if you're ready to submit the data. Click Yes. The registrant list is loaded. When finished, a confirmation message shows the number of successful and failed registrations, and the attendees that weren't registered because their email address was already registered. Click Ok. Set up the registration form for an event The event landing page includes a registration form. You can use the standard registration form questions, or create your own custom questions. You can make the questions optional to answer, or require registrants to answer the questions to complete their registration. The information you collect from registrants is available in event reports.  To learn more about creating custom registration questions, see Add custom questions to a registration form. You can also allow people to attend an event without registering. To set up the registration form: Sign in to the Webcast Admin portal and edit the event.
