Add registration questions

Registration questions allow you to gather information from a group of attendees in a single registration. Use registration questions to allow the registrant to answer questions on behalf of the attendee(s) in the group.

If you need to collect information from individual attendees rather than a whole group, use attendee questions instead!

Tip

Unsure which type of question to use? Check out the Collecting information with signups article to help you decide.

Create questions

As you begin adding questions to your signup, know that it is best practice to have five or fewer registration questions because registrants have only 15 minutes to answer them.

1. Go to the Configuration tab of your signup.

2. Select Registration Questions on the left side.

3. Select Add a question.

4. In the Type box, choose which kind of question you’d like to create from the following options:

   • Text allows people to type out a short answer.

   • Paragraph gives people more room to type out a detailed answer.

   • Single Checkbox allows people to check the box according to your instructions.

   • Dropdown allows people to choose one of the options you provide.

   • Checkboxes allow people to choose more than one of the provided options.

5. Add your question, making it as descriptive as possible to guide people to give the answers you need. Use the Description box to add extra clarification and context when necessary.

6. In the Options box under the On Church Center section, choose to make a question optional or required to complete registration. You can also choose whether a question is visible on Church Center or only to admins (Hidden).

7. Select Save to add the question to your signup and view a list of all other registration questions.

Find attendee answers

Administrators can view and edit a person's answers to the registration questions in the registration details.

1. Start on the Registrations tab of your signup.

2. Locate an attendee's name in the list or search for it, and then select the attendee you'd like to view or edit.

3. Review answers to registration questions in the Registration questions section.

4. Select Edit to make changes to answers to these questions. Making changes to answers listed in the Registration questions section updates answers for all attendees in the registration group.

   

5. Select Save to save your changes.

To see answers from multiple registrations at once, download a CSV report.

You can view attendees by their answers using the attendee info filter on the Registrations tab.
