How to create a registration form?

Through the registration form, users will be able to register for the event. Meanwhile, the event database will gradually configure itself.

Meetmaps allows creating a customizable registration form that you can use for event attendees to register and thus configure the database of users/attendees of the event. Here's how to set it up.

Go to the Registration panel and click on the Registration Form section on the left side menu:

When accessing the section you must complete the initial fields that appear:
  • Form title
  • Description or subtitle of the form
  • Design. You can customize the background image, place a specific logo, a banner in both the PC and mobile version. + info 👉 Landing Page Branding

To configure the form fields, you have to do scroll down and in Form Fields you can edit, reorder, delete or add new fields.

NOTE 📃: It is absolutely necessary that the email field is always visible in the form, since it is essential to be able to identify the user on our platform. In fact, it is the only field that cannot be removed

Field management:

  • Order of the fields: from the "Form Fields" section, click on the little squares on the left side and sort them as you see them fit
  • Editing the fields: if you click on the edit option, you will be able to modify the properties of the field that it has been already created as you deem appropriate, as well as make it mandatory or not

New fields creation

You can create as many fields as you consider appropriate by going to the section "Form fields / Add Property":

When you click on this option, a new pop-up will open where two options will appear:

Option A: Add pre-set properties:
Once you have added the desired property, it will appear together with the rest in the "Form Fields" section.

Option B: Create new property:
When you create the property you must choose the type of field:

  • Text: the user will have to respond with a text. For example: Name
  • Long description: it is a field where the user will have the opportunity to write a long text. For example: Answer to a question
  • Unique selection: the user will get a drop-down with a series of options that can only choose one. For example: Are you going to dinner? Options: YES / NO
  • Multiple selection: you offer different options and the user can choose more than one. Example: Select the hours of availability
  • Checkbox: if you are interested in configuring a field with a checkbox. For example: I am interested in receiving ...
  • Date: if users have to insert a date. Example: date of birth
  • File: the user will have to upload a file. Acceptable formats are pdf, jpg and png. For example: Abstract, Paper or CV

👉 You can decide if you want the fields to be mandatory or optional.

Once you have created this property, it will appear together with the rest in the "Form Fields" section.

TIP 💡: As you edit, keep a second window open with a preview of the registration form. This way, while you make changes and press the refresh button, you will be able to see how it will look like.
