Accompanying Guests

In this article you'll learn how to activate and define the number of accompanying guests.

Table of contents

Settings

In the event settings, you can define the maximum number of accompanying persons. This information can be provided when creating the event or can be added and changed at a later time. 

If your event is public, you then also have the option of defining a number of accompaniments per guest without an invitation.

Activation

In order for the Accompanying guests field to be displayed in the registration form, the respective field must be activated in the registration form.
