How to amend your registration form
This guide will demonstrate how to modify your registration form within the Registration Data Capture section.
To update the questions on your registration please follow the below steps.
- Log in to the Admin Panel by browsing to https://org.pushfar.com
- Select Configuration > Branding & Platform Settings > Registration Data Capture. This is where you can add or modify the questions that participants will answer when they register.
- Enter your question under Field Name.
- Under Field Type, choose whether you would like the question to be:
Open text fields - Allow participants to input any text into this field.
Multiple choice - Participants can select from the options you provide, and they are allowed to pick more than one.
Single choice selection - Participants can select from the options you provide, and they are only allowed to pick one.
File upload - Allows participants to upload a file, for example a CV or certification.
5. Next under Mentoring Type you can choose who will see the question, Mentors, Mentees, or both.
6. You will then be able to choose if Admins and users can search by this question.
For example, Open Text Fields can be hidden from users and viewable only by admins on the dashboard. When a field is hidden, it won’t be visible to participants, and they can’t search it. It will only persist through SSO.
Fields marked as "searchable by admins" will appear in the Advanced Search filter if set to Yes.
7. Lastly, under Is field required you can choose if this is an optional question or if it must be answered.
Note: Currently, only Open Text Fields can be hidden, as other field types cannot be updated through SSO at this time.
Some other things to note if you are amending or adding custom registration questions AFTER your users have joined the platform -
- If you add a new question, users already registered on the platform will have to go into their profile, and edit their profile to then see the question and be able to answer it.
- If you delete a question, users won't be able to see the question or their answer to it, however, within the admin panel, it will keep their answers to the question, but remove the question (it will show as N/A).
- If you edit a question already added and answered by users it will keep the users answer but edit the question.
Note: You also have the flexibility to add or change custom questions for each programme under Relationships > Manage Programs. However, additional options are available through the platform level questions.
