Creating Event Form Questions

Navigation: Dashboard > Settings > Event Form Questions

 

Introduction

The Event Form Questions page enables you to create customized event form questions. These questions appear on the Questions section of the Event Submission Form. Adding custom event form questions enable you to collect additional information from requestors about the event. There are four different question types that can be created: Check Box, File Upload, Multiple Choice, and Open Text.

 

The Event Form Question page is created in the form of a questions bank that contains all the questions that were previously created on the sites for the specific tenant. The questions are no longer assigned to a specific site but to a form. For a tenant, all the forms are available for assignment to the sites under that tenant. At a time, only one form can be assigned to a site. When an event is created, the questions added to the form that is assigned to the site are presented to the requestor.

Important Points:

  • The Search Questions text box is used to search a question in the question bank by entering a keyword.

  • Pagination is provided using the Page dropdown list and the arrows on the top-right of the page.

  • The table shows the list of all the questions in the question bank.

  • The Forms Applied To column shows the Forms to which a question is assigned.

  • Under Actions, you can make changes to a question by clicking the ellipses and selecting the Edit option.

 

Adding a Question

Navigation: Dashboard > Settings > Event Form Questions > Add Question

 

On the Event Form Questions page, the Add Question option enables you to create and save a new question. When the question is saved, it is automatically added to the questions bank.

Editor Options

When you click Add Question, a popup is displayed where a new editor functionality is introduced to apply Bold, Italics, Underline, and Bullet List formatting to the question text. To provide additional information to the user about the question, you can make the question into a hyperlink by clicking Insert Link icon on the editor.

NOTE  These options are common for all question types. The question text field accepts a maximum of 500 characters for all question types.
