Create a new field to add to the Event Creation Form

Create a new field to add to the Event Creation Form

You can create new fields while creating the Event Creation Form within an Event Category

How it works

  • The Event Creation Form is a section within the Create or Edit an Event Category page

  • This section displays the fields that are used on the Event Creation page, i.e. these are the fields that will appear on the Create/Edit Event page

  • There are default fields that you cannot remove and which exist for all events:

    • Event name

    • Start date & time

    • End date & time

  • Beyond this you can add additional custom fields

    • To add custom fields, press the Create New Field button

      • In the popup, add the name of the field and select what type of field it is

    • Any fields you create here are added to your Fields Library

    • You can alternatively add a field from your Fields Library. To do this, start typing the name of the field in the Available Fields search bar
