How do I configure Sections and Dividers on forms

Sections and Dividers enable you to structure your forms more effectively, clarify the process, and improve the experience for participants. Where sections collect similar questions into groups, dividers form separations between two individual questions.

This article explains how to create and customize sections on your Registration, Custom and Booking forms as well as creating dividers on your Registration form.

Sections

Sections allow you to separate parts of the registration, custom and booking forms into their own group. With sections, you can group similar questions on your registration form for better organization. You can also add titles and subtitles to better describe each section.

Adding sections to forms

The process to add new fields to forms will be the same for the different types of form offered by InEvent such as:

1. Registration form
2. Custom Form
3. Booking form

The only difference will be how to access the page in order to create these fields.
