Event Attributes and Event Registration Attributes

There are 4 types of event-related attributes:

  • Event Attributes – information about the event itself. These are not client-facing and can be used internally for your organization to collect or track information about the event. For example: Number of Staff Needed.
  • Item Attributes – information about the item itself. These are also not client-facing and can be used internally for your organization to collect or track information about the event item. For example: Session Moderators.
  • Event Registration Attributes – questions asked of every event registrant. These will be displayed in the Additional Information section on the Confirm Identity page of the event registration process.
  • Event Item Registration Attributes – questions asked only of those people who register for a specific item. These will be displayed in the Additional Information section on the Registration Options page of the event registration process. When enabled for Primary items, the Additional Information section displays underneath the item selection section. For Secondary items, the Additional Information will display in a pop-up box when a user adds this item to their registration.

Event Attributes and Item Attributes are mapped to pages just like normal customer attributes. The usages for them can be found here – Attribute Page Usage Guide

Event Registration and Event Item Registration attributes are not normally mapped to pages manually. Instead, when you create these attributes, you associate them with attribute groups. Any attribute in the Event Registration attribute group will be available for selection as an Event Registration attribute on the Event Masterfile > Registrant Attributes subtab. The attribute group that should function as the Event Registration group is defined by the Central Code EVT_REG_ATTRGRP, which defaults to the group EVT_REGI_ATTR (Event Registration Attributes).

Any attribute mapped to the Event Item Registration attribute group will be available for selection as an Event Item Registration attribute on the Event Masterfile > item > Item Registrant Attributes subtab. The attribute group that should function as the Event Item Registration attribute group is defined by the Central Code EVT_REG_ITEM_ATTRGRP, which defaults to the group EVT_ITEM_REG_ATTR (Item Registration Attributes).

If you are manually hen using EVTITEMATTRDTL you must include qualifier1=event type and qualifier2=item type.
