Element Descriptions and Configuration

Get full control over your event registration experience by learning how to create and manage elements — the building blocks that define what registrants see and submit on your public registration forms.

Updated over a month ago

Elements let you decide which fields, questions, or instructions appear on the public registration site. By configuring elements carefully — including labels, validation rules, size, visibility filters, and optional rich‑text or stylized instructions — you can craft custom registration forms that match your event’s requirements. Proper element setup ensures registrants only see relevant fields, that data is captured correctly, and that the registration process is streamlined and user-friendly.


What are element fields

Each element you add to a registration page includes a set of configuration options (“fields”) that determine how it appears and behaves. Common fields are:

  • Target: Defines the default data this field collects (e.g. name, address, etc.)

  • Label: The name displayed on the public registration form (e.g. “Company name”)

  • Width (in pixels): Define the field’s width when displayed

  • Height (in pixels): Define the field’s height (if applicable)

  • Enable rich text editor: When checked, allows bold, italics, lists, hyperlinks and other formatting for text-area fields

  • Is required: Choose “Yes” or “No” to mark if the field is mandatory

  • Word limit: Maximum number of words allowed (useful for text-area fields)

  • Character limit: Maximum number of characters allowed

  • Matches: A validation rule that enforces input format — options include:

    • Email address

    • Phone number

    • Zip code (5-digit)

    • Integer (whole number)

    • Number (numeric input)

    • Alpha (letters only)

    • Regular expression (custom pattern)

  • Read only after completion: If checked, once a registrant submits the page, the response becomes read-only

  • Enabled filters: Conditions under which the element is shown (see next section)

These settings give you control over how each field looks, how it validates input, and whether it appears for all or only certain registrants.


How to use filters for conditional element display

Filters let you show or hide elements based on registrant data or choices. For example:

  • Show guest‑related fields only if the registrant indicated “yes” to bringing a guest

  • Display certain fields only for registrants from a specific country or registration type

By combining element fields with filters, you ensure each registrant sees only the fields relevant to them, reducing confusion and making the form more user-friendly.


How to include stylized text or instructions in an element

If you want to include instructional text, disclaimers, or other notes instead of collecting data, you can use text-only elements or text-area elements with rich text enabled. Use standard HTML tags to format the text; for example:

<b>This field is required</b>   <i>Please enter your company description here</i>   <u>Note:</u> Maximum 500 characters   <center>Thank you for registering!</center>

Common formatting:

  • <b> … </b> — bold

  • <i> … </i> — italic

  • <u> … </u> — underline

  • <center> … </center> — center text

Using stylized instructions helps guide registrants clearly through the registration process.


Elements are powerful building blocks for your registration forms. They give you detailed control over what information is collected, when fields appear, how inputs are validated, and how forms are presented to registrants. By combining data-collection fields, validation rules, filters, and stylized text or instructions, you can create dynamic, user-friendly registration experiences tailored to your event’s needs.
