How to Add Custom Questions to your Entry Form

Overview

The entry form for your event is a great way to capture important information about your participants. Eventrac captures crucial details such as Name, Gender, Address & DOB however you may want to find out more information about the people entering your event. Adding custom questions can be useful if you want to do some market research (Where did you hear about this event?), ask important race information to help you plan (Do you require parking?) or even get entrants to submit an est. finish time so you can order your bib numbers.

Step 1: Head to your Main Dashboard and scroll down to 'Questions'

 

Step 2: Click Questions > 'Entry Questions'

 

Step 3: Create a New Question

In this view you can also see the current custom questions you have previously created, if needed you can edit or delete these from your organiser account.

Firstly, choose the type of question you want to create. (Free text = The entrant can type out their answer), (Pre defined options = You choose the options for the entrant to select from), (The input will be a time = This will display a time selector for the entrant) Here you can also type out your question as you want it to display on the entry form.
