Event Questions

Staff can add questions to an event or event session which constituents answer during the registration process.

Examples include:

General event question: How did you hear about the event?

Specific session question: Do you have any dietary restrictions for the banquet?

Certain types of event questions have one or more event question option which gives constituents different options from which they can choose to answer the question. Constituents answers to Event Questions are saved in a separate object, Event Answers.

Types

Create different types of questions, optional or required, to collect information from your constituents.

Option	Description
`Checkbox`	Yes or No answer, like "Would you like to receive promotional materials?"
`Decimal`	Numerical answer that require values after the decimal point, like "What is your GPA?"
`Integer`	Numerical answer, like "How many prior years have you attended?"
`Picklist (Multi-Select)`	Answer where constituents can select one or more options, like "In which of the following topics do you have interest?"
`Picklist`	Answer where constituents can select one option, like "Which meal option would you like for the banquet?"
`Text`	Short form text answer, like "Do you have any disabilities? If so, please describe."
`TextArea`	Long form text answer, like "Please share any questions you have for presenters."
