Prerequisites
Before you can use Questions on the form, set them up on these pages:
- Profile Data: Account Settings > Registration > Profile Data (Administrators only.)
- Registration Information: Plan > Event Setup > Questions
- Custom Question Headers: Plan > Event Setup > Questions > 'Question Headers'
- Agenda Item Information: (Caution: Legacy feature!) See Agenda Items: Advanced (Custom Questions).
FYI: Travel Information (from Event Setup > Travel) is not included on Questions Sections. Travel questions are used on Travel Sections.
Once you have added a question section, it is available for you to add to a form on Forms > Setup.

> (Note: Once you've added all 10 Questions sections, the 'Add New' button is no longer available.)
- Actions

- Choose Additional Questions – Click to select the questions to include on the Verify and Confirmation pages of the form.
Backwards Compatibility Note: In Certain 5.10, to ensure backward compatibility with forms created in 5.9, this Verify & Confirmation list is pre-populated with: 1. The questions set for a 5.9 form in Forms > Questions > Fields to Display, excluding any question headers. 2. All custom profile and custom registration questions if none are set to display under ‘Fields to Display’, which was the pre-5.10 behavior. Again, this excludes any question headers. 3. Questions that were only displayed using active logic rules in the online form sequence in 5.9.13, and not using the Questions section.

- Custom Registration Questions – Registration questions in the event, set up on Plan > Event Setup > Questions.

- Custom Agenda Questions – ( Caution: Legacy feature). See Agenda Items: Advanced (Custom Questions).
