Guest Names in an online express event

Options
How does someone add a guest(s) to the online express form?  I created a new event but it does not show guest anywhere.

    I have the same question!  I have created a new online express form for a fundraising dinner.  The sponsorship options to purchase include a table of 8 guests.  I expect the event registrant/sponsor to be able to list all 8 names of their table guests as part of the online express form when they submit payment.  Is this possible?

    Okay....so I eventually tried this...on the Get Started Tab of the Event Form, under Registrants Number, I entered 8 instead of 1.  In preview, after I made that change, the form listed  lines for each of the 8 guests to record their information.

     

  • Hi Paula, 


    You're exactly right! 


    The registration number indicates how many attendees can register under that one ticket or registration type. So if you have an option that allows for 8 guests, you're exactly correct--you'll change the registration number to 8:

    As your configuring your form, don't forget about the next tab Field Options. The Field options tab configures what information is required for each guest - including any participant attributes that can be collected to help you gather additional information (for example: dinner choice for each participant). You can also choose to allow anonymous individuals (for example, if someone doesn't know who they will be bringing yet) and will allow you to specify which fields are required for each guest.
