TOPIC: Multi-Page Registration Form

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding your system:

1. Does your system support multi-page registration forms?

Example:
Step 1 - Collect Personal Information
Step 2 - Hotel Booking Information
Step 3 - Travel Information
Step 4 - Social Activity Booking Information
Step 5 - Verification page (registration summary info page with ability to edit information)
Step 6 - Payment Page
Step 7 - Thank You page

2. Does you system support different types of Registration Types? Based on the registration/attendee type, a different registration path/form would appear. This could include different registration fees, ie Member vs Non-Member rates, Student registration fees vs regular Delegate registration fees and also different web content would appear for each registration/attendee type.

3. Is it possible to collect Hotel information questions?
- Preferred Hotel (drop down list of available hotels)
- Check In / Check Out Dates
- Preferred Room Type
- Special Hotel Comments
- Collect Credit Card info for Hotel Deposit (separate from registration fee payments)

4. If it possible to collect Travel Requirements
- Preferred Arrival/Departure dates
- Flight info/Driving info
- Special travel requirements

5. Can you register a Guest/Spouse at the same time?
- Guest/Spouse registration must be connected to the main delegate's registration profile.
- Collect the same information as the main delegate.

6. Is it possible to import a invitation/attendee list where we can limit the registrations only to the imported invitation/attendee list?

7. How easy is it to create Adhoc reports?

Thanks,

Randy

Hello!

1. Does your system support multi-page registration forms?

The registration process IS in multiple pages... but all form fields are on the same page. In a group registration, each member info is a separate page. Confirmation page shows after info is all entered. Payment selection and input is on the final page. You can see the process in our demo site at http://www.JoomlaEventRegistration.com .

2. Does you system support different types of Registration Types?

You can setup individual or group registrations and customize which fields are used in the forms. You can setup member discounts and such, group discounts, and also create custom fields where the price is modified based on the user's selection in the custom fields.

3. Is it possible to collect Hotel information questions?

You can create custom fields to collect whatever info you need to! This includes date selection fields. Field selections can have individual limits set, fees, discounts, etc. You can also create a "textual" field that just adds text (formatted) on the screen in a specific location. You can use this to create headers over a group of custom fields... so you can distinguish a group of fields as "Hotel Information", etc.

4. If it possible to collect Travel Requirements

Again, custom fields will handle this. No other solution has the flexibility that our field structure does.

5. Can you register a Guest/Spouse at the same time?

You can do this in a group registration, or collect spouse details in custom fields on an individual registration.

6. Is it possible to import a invitation/attendee list where we can limit the registrations only to the imported invitation/attendee list?

There is no import utility at this time.

7. How easy is it to create Adhoc reports?

You can create CSV exports... first you choose the event(s) to include, then select which fields you want to include the data from. You can also specify a date range.

If you have other questions, let us know. Thanks.

Just posting a follow up to this.
Some one had asked me a similar question about DT Register. In this case they were comparing to a system like regonline where there are predetermined sections available for registration like Hotel, Travel, etc.

From what I can see DTH can handle all of these areas with custom fields and text labels. So you can have a the section effect but it will all be on one page.

It would be a nice enhancement to allow sections to be separated by placing them on multiple pages and then have the registration filled out using a wizard type approach. This should make longer more complicated registration forms more user friendly. But the programming to do this is not trivial so may not happen in a hurry.

However I think a more easily implemented solution would be to add the use of fieldsets to group relevant data. These fieldsets could also be made collapsible and conditional to enhance the workflow.

Just somethings to consider for an upcoming release...after you get over the hurdle of the 2.7 release (Seems like some of this should make it over to Feature Requests)
