The "Request for information" and "Direct Registration" forms are used by groups/guests to create their account for your Events Dashboard.
To manage your Request for information + Direct Registration forms, navigate to Step 1 of the Events Setup Wizard within the Events Admin tab.
What's the purpose of these forms?
Before they can access your Events Dashboard (including your registration form, payments, and more), groups/guest must create an account first. In order to create an account, they must complete either the Request for Information or Direct Registration form.
Note that there's a "group" and "individual" version of each form.
Group leaders who plan to register a group of people for an event should use the Group Request for Info or Direct Registration forms. Individuals who plan to register only themselves for an event should use the Individual Request for Info/Direct Registration forms.
What's the difference between a Request for Info and Direct Registration?
The Request for Info form is meant for sending an inquiry to your camp to follow up on before the group/guest proceeds with registration.
The Direct Registration form will proceed the group/guest directly to registration immediately after they create their account.

General Options
Both the Request for Information and Direct Registration Forms come included with sections of basic questions (date of birth, contact information, etc.)

- Double click to edit whether the section actively displays on the form
- Select yes/no whether date of birth and cellphone are required on both forms

Header Text
Add custom text to the header area of each form. This can be used to provide useful information, instructions, external links, etc. that you wish to present to groups/guests before they start completing the form.
Type content into the textbox and use the toolbar to format the content as needed (e.g. embed images, links, change font colors, etc.)
Save changes when you're finished.

To add custom questions to the group forms, click "Group questions" on the left. To add questions to the forms for individuals, click "individual questions."
