The group application form

Step two of the group form: the title people see, three fixed fields, and whatever else you ask.

The second step of creating a group or program is Custom Group Form, headed Custom application form. It is what somebody fills in to join.

Title

One required field. Kannect pre-fills it as "Join as <your group name>", which is usually right. Change it if your group's name does not read well in that sentence.

Form Fields

Three fields are always there, always required, and cannot be removed or unticked:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email address

Below them, Add Field adds anything else you want to ask.

Add Field

Choosing Add Field opens a small panel with:

  • Field, a dropdown holding the standard fields (Date of birth, Address, Country / State / City / Postal Code, Phone Number, Gender, Marital Status, Interested in Volunteering?, Emergency Contact Name, Emergency Contact Number) and every custom field already in your account, each with its data type shown in brackets.
  • Create a new custom field, at the top of the same list, for a question nobody has asked before.
  • Required Field, Yes or No.

Then choose Save Field.

Steps

  1. On step two, check or change the Title.
  2. Choose Add Field for each extra question.
  3. Set Required Field on each.
  4. Choose Create Group, or Back to change the details first.
