Event-based permits are perfect for activities like festivals, community gatherings, or vendor applications. They are designed to manage multiple registrations for a single event. Here's a quick video going over the whole set-up process, or check out the steps below.
Step-by-Step Guide
Enable the Feature:
In your form settings, find the question about event permits and select "Yes." This will reveal a new set of questions that allow you to configure your event.
Choose Registration Type:
The first question asks whether applicants are registering to host a new event or to participate in an existing event. Select the option that best fits your needs.
Set the Application Window:
Determine the dates when applicants are allowed to submit their applications. This is important for managing deadlines.
Customize the Event Title:
You can change the title of the event page that applicants see. This can be as simple as "Event Registration" or specific to your event, such as "Spring Festival 2026."
Set the Primary Identifier:
If you want the event title to be the main identifier for the permit instead of the business or applicant name, select "Yes." This is useful for keeping permits organized by event rather than by individual.
Gather Detailed Event Times:
Applicants are always required to enter the event dates. This question lets you also require them to provide specific setup, takedown, start, and end times for the event.
Determine Fee Due Dates:
Choose when the application fees are due. This could be at the time of submission, after approval, or at a later date.
After following these steps, your form is ready to accept event-based permit applications. When an applicant fills out the form, they will see dedicated pages for entering event-specific details, which is what sets this permit type apart from a standard one.
And that's a wrap! That's everything you need to know to create your event-based permit.
