Summer Release #3 (Certain 8.3.8) introduces a new form section designed to streamline the registration process for guests or additional attendees from your organization. This enhancement allows for the entry of multiple registrants on a single form page.
This enhancement complements the existing “Add Additional Registrations” section, which offers a dedicated, multi-step form sequence for each registrant or guest.

Plan > Forms (edit a form) > Inline Addl Regs
Section Header
A Section Header can be configured on most of the pages. The Section Header displays additional instructions or event information related to that section.
- Text Above Header is displayed above the header bar, at the top of the section.
- Header Text is displayed in the header bar (in a contrasting color). The default value is: “Register Additional Attendees”.
- Text Below Header is displayed directly below the header.
Active Registrant Information
Active registrant information defines what information to collect for each additional attendee. The settings configure the behavior of each field as follows:
- Require makes the field mandatory for the additional registrant.
- R-only (Read only) disables the read-only checkboxes for basic information such as first name and last name fields. The setting disables the read-only checkboxes because collecting this information for additional guests is important. For the rest of the field, the read-only checkbox sets the field to read-only.
- Verify/Confirm enables the field to show on the verify and confirm pages of the form.
- Hidden allows data to be passed via integration without displaying the field on the form.
- Text to Display defines the label to display on the registration form.
Display Setting
The display setting configures the labels and layout for inline registration.
- Inline Reg label defines the text to display for the inline registration section.
- Add Row label defines the label for the button used to add a new additional registration.
- Maximum Inline Registrants allows users to specify the maximum number of additional registrants a primary registrant can add inline.
- Guest Selection Preview applies when the maximum inline registrants is set to 1. Users can configure Yes/No options for guest selection and preview how this will be displayed. Users can define the Label 0 and Label 1 for this preview.
- Display row number lets users choose whether to display the row number for each additional inline registrants.
- No attendee type error message lets users customize the error message that appears if no attendee type is selected.
Attendee Type Display Logic
Attendee Type Display Logic creates rules to conditionally display available attendee types for inline additional registrations based on the primary registrants' attendee type.
Users can define multiple rules by using:
- “ If primary reg attendee type = ”
- then “ then display following attendee types ”
- and “ add limit number of inline addl regs ”
Users can also add multiple conditions using “OR” logic.
Default Reg Status and Cancel Options
The default and cancel options configure registration status behavior for inline additional registrations.
- Registration Status lets users select the registration status that will be applied to all inline additional registrations.
- Cancel Registration Status lets users select the registration status that will be applied when an inline additional registrant is marked as cancelled.
- Cancel Confirm Text lets users customize the confirmation text displayed when cancelling an additional registration.
Other Settings
- Do not allow edits to completed registrations prevents edits to completed inline additional registrations.
Email Settings
Email settings indicate if any email templates are set up for the event. Users are redirected to the events' Email Template when clicking on “Setup an email template for this event”.
After setting up the Inline Additional Registrations settings, ensure that all configurations and changes are saved.
