*Event Flex Fields

Add your own fields to Event Setup. The information assigned to a flex field will then appear in system reports such as event and registration summary exports. 

Add new flex fields to your account (or edit existing flex fields) under Application > Account > Defaults > Event Flex Fields.  Click the link that says Click here to setup event flex fields

To add a new flex field, click Add Event Flex Field.  Enter a Label for the field, a tag (no spaces), and select the Location (page) where you want the new field to appear.

You can also stipulate if the fields are required during event setup, or if completion is optional. 

Flex field data will appear on the Event Summary - Custom Report and Global Registration Question report in the Reports section on the top menu.

The Sample Flex Field setup shown above is set to appear in the event under Event Setup > General.  It will look like this:

Tags can be configured in the flex field setup so that the flex field content can be displayed in notifications and event pages.

Flex field tags are located under Event tags:

There is an alternate option to entering text in the field.  You can assign a pre-defined list (drop down) to an event flex field in the setup.  This allows the user to select from a list of options, rather than entering free form text.

When a list is assigned, it will appear as a drop-down list:

Build the list of options under Application > Advanced > Pre-Defined List

Click Create New List and name the list, Save Changes

Once the list has been created, click Items to the left of the list

Click Add a New Item to the List, enter the List Item, the click Add Item

Note:  If your list of items is long, you can Import Items.  You must use the spreadsheet provided:

Only enter items in the list_item column.  Leave all columns of the spreadsheet in place; do not relabel, rearrange, add, or delete any columns.  Save your spreadsheet.  The file name should not contain spaces.

Choose and upload your file.
