Custom Event Data

Access

Access via: Account Settings > Management > Event Data (Accessible only to Administrators.)

Custom Event Data is a set of fields used for internal reporting across multiple events, in consolidation reports.

Custom Event Data may be used as conditions in Logic Rules on forms and Display Rules on emails.

They are one of the Dynamic Data Fields available for use in various places, such as badges or form post jobs.

Examples: event type, department, or financial year.

Note: There is no need to use these in configuring the display shell in events.

Account-level Display Fields were introduced for that purpose in Certain 7.0.

If you have previously used custom event data fields for display purposes, you can copy them to new Display Fields.

The list of questions may be a multi-page list.

Click any cell in a row (except the Actions column) to show the Questions page with the full (editable) details for the question in that row.

Click the Delete icon in the Actions column to delete that custom question.

Actions:

Copy question. Opens the Questions page in a pop-up window, populated with the same values, for you to change at least the Name.
Delete the question. When you confirm your action, the question is deleted (i.e., marked inactive in Certain) and removed from the list of Custom Questions for all events in this account.
Copy the question to an account-level Display Field. You can rename the copy, which defaults to the original name with "Copy" added.
As described above, this is for you if you were using Custom Event Data for this purpose until account-level display fields were introduced in Certain 7.0.

To create a custom question

Maximum number of custom event questions per account = 45.
