Custom Registration Questions

Custom questions are used to collect event-specific data by adding one or more custom questions to a registration form.

Type is the type of the custom question.
Possible values include: Text, Text area, Radio, Checkbox, Select, Select Multiple, Ticket, Credit card, Integer, Number.

Assignment is a system-generated label for the custom question, including the area it's associated with (Profile, Registration, Program Item, or Event), and its order.
Example: Reg Question 1 would be the first question added here.

Actions
Edit the question. It opens on the Questions page in a modal pop-up window.
Copy the question. It opens the Questions page in a modal pop-up window, populated with the same values, for you to change at least the Name.
Delete the question. It changes to a remove state when you mouse over it.
Add New. Create a custom question on the Questions page in a modal pop-up window.

A list of the question headers set up for this event. This may be a multi-page list.
You use these headers to separate (groups of) questions in two places on registration forms:

1) Questions sections, where they are included in the list of questions you can add.

2) The Verify and Confirm pages of a registration form. (See under Verify & Confirmation on Forms > Questions.)

Add New. Create a header on the Questions - Header Details page in a modal pop-up window. (Below Custom Registration Question)

In addition to the maximum of 135 custom questions set up here, each account can have up to 40 further custom questions that collect profile data.
Profile data is information about a registrant that remains constant, unlikely to change per event, and which is held at the account level.
These questions are set up by an administrator on Account Settings > Registration > Profile Data.
For example, Eye Color would be suitable as a custom profile question, whereas Arrival Time would be a custom registration question.

Note: When the registrant answers a custom question of type Text in a registration form, the answer will be reformatted to match the option set for the event (in Plan > Configure > Options), such as setting it to UPPER CASE, if the field is included for reformatting in your account-level settings (in Account Settings > Registration > Data Format).
