Organizations often need to collect specific participant information during the trip setup process. Before creating trip or event applications, admins can add custom fields to gather information relevant to trip logistics or preparation. Examples include t-shirt size, dietary needs, skill levels, or physical activity preferences.

Where Do Custom Fields Appear?

Custom fields are account-wide and appear on participant-facing event pages or remain private for internal admin use. These fields are also available via the API.

How Are Custom Fields Used?

Custom fields function similarly to event requirements or documents and can be used globally across events and trips. They allow you to gather customized information in various formats, such as:

• Short answers
• Paragraph
• Dates
• Single or multiple choice

You might use custom fields to gather trip-specific information, such as:

• Preferred t-shirt size

• Meal preferences
• Activity level (e.g., low, medium, high)
• Passport expiration date

This flexibility helps trip planners better understand and prepare for the needs of their participants.
