Questions set up here are not answered by registrants, but by the event builder when the event builder sets up (or edits) the event in Plan > Event Setup > Detail. Questions are usually used for internal reporting across multiple events, in consolidation reports.
Questions may also be used as conditions in Logic Rules on forms. Questions may also be used as conditions in Display Rules on emails. Questions are Dynamic Data Fields available for use in various places, such as badges or form post jobs.
Examples include event type, department, or financial year.
> Note: There is no need to use custom event data fields in configuring the display shell in events. > Account-level Display Fields were introduced for that purpose. > In Certain 7.0, if previously custom event data fields were used for display purposes, click copy them to new Display Fields.
