Web Forms Design
Web Forms Design (Cont’d)

adjustments
• Use Advanced Style sheet editor to save a back
up copy

levels - also allow other amount

Program Forms
• Online sales can be managed at program level
• Online Settings for tickets covers all online program sales
• Sales window controlled at Program level
• Price Types eligibility at Sales Method level
• Use Language to edit content (date format, etc.)
• Leverage Web description to display important/succinct information on the event
• Different name on scheduled event creates program listing and removes it from “Other date/times” link
Combination Forms
• Cannot be restricted by membership or
constituency restrictions

program combinations
• Cannot be used where users have to select
between options
Membership Forms
• Members program and levels description is through program and level information

• Can move types up and down in sequence to prioritize them
• Keep guest information optional in case host has not decided who they are bringing
• Edit button content via Language > Page
• Use Web description to include succinct information
• Different name on registered program event creates program listing and removes it from “Other date/times” link

acknowledgement emails for every form
