Actions on the Preview & Working with the Form
What is this for?
This guide explains the actions available on the preview page and how to work with the registration form — filling in fields, checking required data, and submitting your entry.
Available Actions (Toolbar)
The top toolbar has two action buttons. Both are green with icons.
Go Back
- Icon: Left arrow
- What it does: Takes you to the previous page.
- Behavior:
- If you reached the preview from the Event Builder — you return to the Builder with your work state preserved.
- If you reached it from the Library — you return to the event list in the Library.
Edit Event
- Icon: Pencil
- What it does: Opens the Event Builder for the current event, where you can change blocks, content, form fields, and metadata.
- When to use it: When you notice something that needs changing during preview — text, color, a form field, or an image.
Working with the Registration Form
The registration form is the central element of the preview. It appears in a form block and contains input fields and a submit button.
Form Field Types
The form can contain different field types. Here is what each one looks like and how to use it:
Text Field
- How it looks: A rectangular field with a placeholder hint and a label above it.
- How to use it: Click the field and type your text.
- Limit: Up to 374 characters. A character counter appears to the right of the field.
- Required: Marked with a red asterisk (*) next to the label if the field is mandatory.
Email Field
- How it looks: A rectangular field with a hint like "Email" or similar.
- How to use it: Enter a valid email address (for example,
user@example.com). - Limit: Up to 100 characters. The system automatically checks the email format.
- Required: Always marked as required if the field is present in the form.
Text Area
- How it looks: A large rectangular field for multi-line text.
- How to use it: Click and type. You can press Enter to start a new line.
- Limit: Up to 374 characters. A character counter appears to the right of the field.
- Required: Marked with a red asterisk if the field is mandatory.
Dropdown List
- How it looks: A field with an arrow on the right that reveals a list of options when clicked.
- How to use it: Click the field to expand the list, then select the option you need.
- Features: May support selecting multiple options or searching through the list.
- Required: Marked with a red asterisk if the field is mandatory.
Checkbox Group
- How it looks: A set of checkboxes with labels.
- How to use it: Tick the boxes for the options you want.
- Features: You can select one or multiple options depending on the settings.
- Required: Marked with a red asterisk if the field is mandatory.
Date Picker
- How it looks: A field with a calendar icon on the right.
- How to use it: Click the field to open the calendar, then pick a date.
- Required: Marked with a red asterisk if the field is mandatory.
Submit Button
At the bottom of the form there is a submit button (for example, "Subscribe," "Register," or other text depending on the settings).
- When to click: After filling in all required fields.
- What happens: The system checks all your input, and if everything is OK, it shows a success message.
Field Validation
The system automatically checks your data when you click the submit button and when you change fields:
- Required fields — if left empty, a red error message appears below the field.
- Email format — if the address is invalid (for example, missing the
@sign), an error message about the incorrect format appears. - Character limit — if you exceed the maximum number of characters, the text is truncated.
Messages After Submission
- Success: A green message appears at the top of the form confirming that your entry was submitted successfully.
- Error: A red message appears asking you to check your data. Fields with errors are highlighted in red.
Important Rules & Tips
Note: In the preview, form data is NOT saved to the server. This is only a visual check to see how validation works and what the messages look like. Actual registration happens only on the live public event page.
Note: The Email field is a key field for registration. Even if it is not marked as required, the system requires it to submit the form.
Tip: Fill in all form fields during preview to verify that validation works correctly. Pay attention to the error messages — these are exactly what your attendees will see.
Tip: If the form contains a dropdown list, check whether the options load correctly. If the list is empty, go back to the Event Builder and set up the catalog for that field.
