Forms FAQ - Creating Form Section Headers
A Section Header is configured on most of the pages that determine the appearance of a registration form. Enter the text required in the fields under the Section Header heading at the beginning of the form section configuration page. (For example: Plan > Forms > (form) > Registrant Details, Attendee Type, Agenda, etc.)
A section header is typically used to display additional instructions or event information related to the particular section being configured. The text entered into the section header appears above the section elements themselves.
For most form sections, there are three Section Header elements you can configure:
- Text Above Header: Displayed above the header bar, at the top of the section.
Has a default value for some sections, such as "Please print the confirmation below for your records." for the Confirm section.
- Header Text: Displayed in the header bar (in a contrasting color).
Usually has a default value, such as "Personal Profile" for the Registrant Details section, or "Attendee Type" for the Attendee Type section.
- Text Below Header: Displayed directly below the header.
Has a default value for some sections, such as "Please select an attendee type." (with HTML formatting) for the Attendee Type section.
- Fewer Fields: Some form sections may not have all three of those fields.
For example, the Entry Section has no Text Below Header field, because the text of the page itself is configurable.
- More Fields: Some form sections may have additional fields in the Section Header.
For example, the multiple Agenda sections and Custom HTML sections can each have their own customized Section Name.
- Formatting: The text in any of the three sections can be plain text.
The text may also include HTML tags.
You can click the </>.icon below the lower right corner of the text box, to edit the text in an HTML editor, which opens in a separate pop-up window.
- No Header: If all the fields in the Section Header area of the page are left blank when configuring a form section, no header is shown for that section when the attendee views the form.
