Form Fields
Administration area / Active extensions / Form Fields
The form fields extension can be used to create forms that clients will fill in when making booking requests. These forms typically contain fields for name, address, email, phone number, country, city but you can customize them in order to contain whatever information you need from your clients. To achieve this, you need to create a form field, determine what interaction you want your users to have with it (input, dropdown, checklist etc), customize it and last but not least link it to a calendar.
Once you have created a form fields extension, you have to select its type from the provided list and after that, you can customize it in the configuration section. Main settings incorporate three tabs: ‘applied to’ that can be used to link the form fields component to one or more calendars, ‘actions’ which can be used to delete or duplicate it and ‘main data’.
