Add seminar custom fields

While the default seminar activity is sufficient for some use cases, you may want to add custom fields in order to display or collect different information.

To add a custom field, follow these steps:

Go to Quick-access menu > Seminars > Custom fields.
Select the relevant form or element tab (Event, Asset, Facilitator, Room, Sign-up, User cancellation or Event cancellation).
Select the required field type from the Create a new custom field dropdown menu.
Complete the settings as required.
Click Save.

All custom fields linked to an element or form will be listed within the corresponding tab.

Custom fields added to a form or element will appear in the corresponding page or form across the site, including all pre-existing events, rooms and assets.
