How to Add a Custom Field to Seminar Sessions?

Overview

Want to capture extra info for your seminar sessions? Whether it’s a URL, extra text, or multiple-choice options, adding a custom field in Showoff is easier than you think! Follow these steps and make your sessions even smarter. ✨

Step 1: Head to the Seminar Module

Go to Modules → Seminar in your Showoff backend.

Step 2: Pick Your Seminar Programme

Click on the seminar programme where you want to add the custom field.

Step 3: Open Custom Field Options

Hover over More → Custom Field → Create Custom Field. This is where the magic begins. ✨

Step 4: Choose Your Field Type

Decide what kind of info you want to capture:

• Text – Free text input

• Textarea/WYSIWYG – Perfect for longer content

• Checkbox, Dropdown, Selection, Radio – Great for multiple-choice questions

• And more options available to choose from

Step 5: Add a Field Label

Give your field a name under Label. Make it descriptive so users know exactly what to enter.

Step 6: Set Field Options

• Mandatory? Untick if you don’t want users forced to fill it every time.

• Max Field Length: The default is 50, but you can increase it if your field needs more space (useful for URLs or long text).

Step 7: Add Prefilled Options (for Multiple-Choice Fields)

If you chose Checkbox, Dropdown, Selection, or Radio, scroll to the bottom and add the options you want users to select from. ✅

Step 8: Save & Celebrate! 🎉

💡 Pro Tips:

• Plan your field type carefully. The right type keeps your data organised and your sessions looking great.

• Extra Useful: Custom fields are especially handy if you want to separate sessions under different labels to filter them across different sections or pages.
