Question types available in an Eventmaker form
Below you will find the list of question types you can use on Eventmaker to enrich and structure your form :
Short text (Text field)
→ For a brief answer (e.g.: first name, company, email).
Paragraph (Text field)
→ For a long multi-line answer (e.g.: comments, motivations, expectations…).
Dropdown list (Value list field)
→ To offer a list of single- or multiple-choice options in a dropdown menu.
Checkboxes
→ To allow selection of multiple responses (e.g.: topics, skills).
⚠️ Warning: This question type should be mainly limited to communication opt-in questions (Organizer or Event). We recommend prioritizing dropdown lists or radio buttons.
Radio buttons (Value list field)
→ To enforce selection of a single option among several (e.g.: status, title).
Accreditations (Check-in point)
→ To allow registration to programme sessions or access points.
These items can be free or paid.
Products (Products module)
→ To allow participants to select offers provided by the organizer (services, products, support packages…).
Interests (Topics module)
→ To propose topics or themes to check, often used for networking (matchmaking).
Date picker (Text field with date format)
→ To allow the participant to choose a date (e.g.: date of birth, arrival date, appointment…).
Upload a file (File field)
→ To allow the participant to upload a document (CV, photo, certificate…).
Hidden field (Text field or pre-filled value)
→ To embed an invisible value in the form (e.g.: URL variable, hidden field, conditional display triggered in the background).
Hierarchical list (Hierarchical field)
→ To structure nested choices (e.g.: Country > Region > City).
Options available for each question :
Required : check “Must be filled” to make the response mandatory (a red asterisk will appear).
Editing rights :
Editable : visible and editable by the participant at any time.
Non-editable : only the organizer can modify the data from the participant's record.
Non-editable on edit : once the registration or the step is validated, the data can no longer be modified by the participant.
Advanced options :
Help message (description displayed under the question),
Validation criteria (minimum length, expected format),
Conditional display (based on another answer or a hidden field).
All questions can be modified even after registrations have opened.
Options specific to accreditations :
Accreditations allow you to register participants for sessions (conferences, workshops…) or other access points.
Integration modes :
Default mode : manual addition of sessions one by one.
Advanced mode : automatic retrieval of sessions with filters applied (topic, speaker, venue…).
Possible selection types :
Single choice (radio button),
Multiple choice (checkboxes).
Options available for each accreditation :
Display of session description,
Management of schedule conflicts (prevent double bookings),
Advanced filters (topics, metadata…),
Modification of displayed label,
Manual ordering,
Display of remaining seats,
Conditional display (by segment or by form logic).
⚠️ Warning : accreditations are linked to check-in management. Make sure to call only the check-in points that are actually useful for your category.
Options specific to Products questions
Product-type questions allow your participants to select offers available at your event (e.g.: services, packages, visibility options…).
They are directly linked to the Products module of the Eventmaker platform. The items displayed in this question therefore depend on the products created and configured beforehand.
Description
Displays a help text under the question.Display illustration
Displays the image associated with the product (useful to make it more visual).Enable search
Allows the participant to filter products if the list is long.Show product description
Displays the descriptive sheet configured in the product (visible only if it is filled in).Show remaining seats
Shows in real time the number of units still available (useful if a quota is enabled on the product).Quantity limits
Allows imposing a minimum or maximum per participant, per product.Conditional display
Allows showing this question only if a condition is met (answer to another question or an invisible segment).
Note
This question type does not allow single or multiple choice like accreditations. The participant enters a quantity for each listed product.
The question is directly connected to the Products module, which implies that :
stocks and quotas are handled automatically,
exports consolidate purchase information by participant.
