Intake questions appear on the RSVP form. Volunteers fill them out when they register for an event. Responses are visible in your event roster and exportable to Excel.
Supported field types
- Text — short free-text answer (e.g., 'Any allergies?')
- Number — numeric input (e.g., 'How many years of experience?')
- Date — date picker (e.g., 'CPR certification expiry date')
- Select — dropdown with predefined options (e.g., 'T-shirt size: S / M / L / XL')
- Checkbox — yes/no toggle (e.g., 'I agree to the liability waiver')
Required vs. optional
Mark a field as Required to enforce it — volunteers can't complete their RSVP without answering. Optional fields are collapsed by default to keep the form short.
Intake questions are per-event, so use them for event-specific info: t-shirt size, dietary restrictions, skill level. For info you need on every event (like emergency contact), use org-wide custom profile fields instead.
Viewing responses
Open the event roster to see each volunteer's responses in a table. Click Export to download everything as Excel with one column per question.
Instead of asking 'What's your t-shirt size?' as a text field (and getting 'Med', 'medium', 'M'), create a Select field with exact options. Cleaner data, easier exports.
If you're a student registering for an event, you may see required questions set by the organization or your school. These are non-negotiable — fill them out completely or you won't be able to register.
