In today's fast-paced world of event planning, having the right tools to collect and manage attendee information efficiently is crucial for success. That's why we're thrilled to announce significant enhancements to our Custom Fields feature, taking your event data collection capabilities to the next level.

Please note that this advanced feature is currently being rolled out gradually and existing users should contact support@pheedloop.com to activate it. New users interested in this functionality should reach out to sales@pheedloop.com.

The Custom Fields Success Story

Just one month after launching our groundbreaking Custom Fields feature, we've witnessed remarkable adoption rates that speak volumes about the necessity of personalized data collection in modern event technology. An impressive number of our users have already implemented this powerful tool, creating an entirely customizable workflow that meets the unique needs of their events.

This overwhelming response confirms what we've long believed: personalized data collection isn't simply a nice-to-have—it's essential for delivering exceptional events that meet the unique needs of every attendee, sponsor, and exhibitor.

Introducing Two New Updates to Custom Fields

After closely monitoring how our users have creatively applied Custom Fields across various aspects of their events, we're excited to unveil two thoughtful upgrades designed to provide even greater precision and flexibility in event setup and data collection:

1. Required or Optional Fields

Take complete control over your data collection strategy by designating which fields must be completed and which ones remain optional. Whether you need to gather crucial information about dietary requirements or simply want to offer attendees the chance to share additional preferences, you can now tailor each field's importance level to match your specific needs.

2. Multiple Response Formats

Recognizing that different questions require different answer formats, we've expanded the ways you can collect responses with three distinct options:

• Text input: Perfect for open-ended questions requiring personalized responses
• Single-select: Ideal for yes/no questions or situations where only one choice is permitted
• Multi-select: Designed for scenarios where attendees should be able to choose multiple options

This flexibility ensures you're collecting data in the most appropriate format for each specific question, improving both the attendee experience and the quality of event data you receive.

The Power of Smarter Data Collection

Implementing custom fields doesn't just streamline your workflow, it fundamentally transforms your ability to make informed decisions based on accurate, consistent data. When you can require specific responses and format answers appropriately, you eliminate guesswork and base resource allocation on precise information rather than estimates.

Research shows that forms without clearly marked required fields result in validation errors for 32% of users who submit incomplete information. Our required field designation directly addresses this challenge, reducing form abandonment rates while ensuring complete attendee information on the first submission.

Built-In Accuracy Without Administrative Burden

Every custom field you create now serves as a powerful tool for ensuring data accuracy. With built-in validation through required fields and pre-set answer options, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of receiving incomplete or incorrect information from attendees.

This enhanced accuracy translates to tangible time savings—organizers report saving 3-5 hours per event by avoiding the need to chase down missing information or correct mismatched answers. Whether you're organizing catering, accessibility services, or session assignments, you can trust that your team has all the information they need without constant double-checking.

The Future of Event Data Collection

As the events industry continues to evolve, the ability to collect, analyze, and act upon attendee data becomes increasingly critical to success. With these enhancements to our advanced custom fields feature, PheedLoop is proud to provide event organizers with unparalleled tools for gathering the information that matters most.

Whether you're new to custom fields or have been using them since their initial release, we invite you to explore these powerful new capabilities and discover how they can transform your approach to event setup and data management.
