Form Questions

When creating a Registration Event, there are three options for adding questions or fields to your registration form. These customizable fields give you the ability to gather information from your attendees.

Create Your Own Questions

To create a question for an event, navigate to the Registration Settings menu for the event and select the "Form Questions" button.

Click the "Add a Question" button to begin adding questions or fields.

Below are descriptions of each of the field types you can create for your Event Form:

Short Text

This adds a small text-box to your form.

Paragraph

This adds a large text-box to your form.

Title/Header

This adds a Title or Header to your form. You can use this to break your form up into different sections.

Dropdown List

This adds a dropdown menu to your form. Users can select only one option in the menu.

Multiple Choice

This is like the Dropdown List and the Checklist, but it displays all the options on the screen and users fill in a bubble. Users can select only one option.

Date Picker

Users pick a date from a calendar. The month, day, and year info are collected with this option.

Date (year optional)

This option gathers month and day info. Users pick a month in a dropdown menu and enter a number for the day of the month, but the year field is optional.

Linear Scale

This field adds a row of numeric options. Users will select one option from the row.

Sign-up List

This option allows you to add a list to your form. You can also enter a quantity next to each list item.

When someone selects an option on the list, the numeric value next to that list item will be subtracted by 1. Once the value reaches 0, the next user will not be able to select that option and will have to choose another.

Users can only select one option.

Note: this option is not available when creating a Form Card in Church Connect.

Sign-up Quantity

This option allows you to add a list to your form. You can also enter a quantity next to each list item.

Unlike the Sign-Up List, users can choose as many options as they want and can also select a quantity. The quantity users select will be limited by the quantity you enter when creating this field.

As users fill out this part of the form, their selection will subtract from the total quantity you create for this field. Once the value reaches 0, the next user will not be able to select that option and will have to choose another.

Note: this option is not available when creating a Form Card in Church Connect.

Numeric

This option adds a text box with a number. Users can tap the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the number. You set the range that users can choose from.

Yes/No Option

This is a dropdown menu where users select “Yes” or “No”.

Toggle Switch

This adds a switch that can toggle on or off.

When adding these fields, you will be required to give each one a name. We recommend you type the question you want users to answer here. You can add a description or further instructions in the "Description/Instructions" field at the bottom of the window to add clarity to the question.

Use Pre-Built Fields

We have already created 10 fields you can choose from. This gives you the ability to add multiple fields to your new form quickly.

You can select multiple fields at once. Clicking “Add Selected Fields” applies those fields to your form. You can then customize the details of each field in the following window.

Import Fields

This option allows you to quickly add fields you have created and used in the past. Fields from both Form Cards & Events Registration forms will appear here.

Simply type information about the field in the search bar or select what field type you want to search for in the dropdown menu. Clicking on a field adds all the details of that field to your new form exactly as you had originally created it.
