Individual limitation of companions

Julia Walther Updated by Julia Walther

Within each guest record, you can define an individual maximum number of companions. This determines how many companions a guest is allowed to register for your event. This information is automatically applied to the registration page.

This feature can only be used with personalized registration, where you invite guests to register via an invitation. For open registration, you can define a general value in the registration form that limits how many companions a guest can register with for your event.

Set the individual number of companions

Open the guest record of a guest under “Guests” and define the maximum number of companions for this guest in the “Max. companions” field.

The system recognizes this entry and automatically transfers the defined maximum number to your registration form.

TIP: By default, the registration form includes a checkbox asking whether your guest comes with a companion. If you set the maximum number of companions to a value greater than 1, you should use a radio button or drop-down selection in the registration form instead. This allows the guest to specify the desired number of companions.
Define a limit for companions in the registration form

Open your registration page and go to the registration settings section to edit your registration form.

You can define the input for companions using the appropriate "Input type".

You can choose between the following input types:

  • Number field (integer)
  • Checkbox
  • Radio button
  • Drop down selection
Number field (integer)

With this input type, you allow your guest to enter the number of companions as a numeric value. If the guest enters a number that exceeds the maximum value you’ve defined, the registration cannot be completed.

Checkbox

This input type is only available if the maximum number of companions in the registration form is set to “1”.

If you define a higher maximum value, you can choose between "Number field (integer)", "Radio button", and "Drop down selection".

Radio button

With this input field type, your guest selects the number of companions using radio buttons. You can define specific selection values and the corresponding label text for this field type.

As with the radio button, this input field type allows your guest to specify how many companions they want to register by selecting from predefined values.

Define selection values for radio buttons and drop down menus

To define the selection values for the input types “Radio button” or “Drop down selection”, first select the desired type. In the lower section, you will then have the option to customize your selection values.

Specify here which option should be displayed to your guest as a selection value.

Use case example

We set up a registration page where guests can register up to 3 companions.

For a guest already stored in the system, we individually limited the maximum number of companions to “1”

If you open this guest’s personalized registration link, you’ll see that the general setting in the registration form—allowing 3 companions—is overridden by the individual limit, and the guest can complete registration only with one companion or with no companion.

How did we do?
