Building Registration Forms

From the Gate landing page, click Registration Forms. This is where you build the questions attendees answer when they register — beyond the basics.

Every form already includes two locked default fields: Full Name and Email Address. You add your own custom fields on top of those.

Each custom field has:

• Field Label — The question text, e.g. "Company Name"
• Field Type — How the field behaves (see below)
• Placeholder Text — Optional hint shown inside the field
• Required field — Whether the attendee must answer it

The available field types are Short Text, Long Text, Email, Phone, URL, Dropdown Select, and Checkbox. For Dropdown Select and Checkbox, an Options box appears where you enter one choice per line.

The Applies To setting controls who sees a field. Choose All Ticket Types, or a single ticket type to show the field only to those registrants.

For example, ask "Dietary restrictions?" on all tickets, but only ask "Speaker dietary rider?" on the Speaker ticket.

Each field can be tagged with an Analytics Role that determines how the data is used elsewhere in Gythr:

• Demographic (Charts) — Surfaces as charts in Signal, your analytics module. Use for things like role, industry, or experience level.
• Contact Info (PII) — Treated as private personal data for your team only. It is never displayed or issued anywhere else in the platform.
• Logistics (Operational) — Operational details like dietary needs or t-shirt size.
• Freeform (Search Only) — Searchable text that doesn't roll up into charts.
• No Analytics Role — The default; the field is collected but not categorized.

Click Preview to see the form exactly as a registrant would. Use the "Preview as ticket type" selector to confirm that scoped fields show up for the right tickets before you go live.
