Generally, we have two types of events. Named and Anonymous. The type of event can be select under Basic Information section.
The major change between these two types of events falls on contacts. To book a ticket for a named event, the registrant should provide the details of every attendee (first name, last name and email address). Whereas for an anonymous event, the registrant can book a number of tickets. There is no need to give the attendee details.
Here is the list of changes when Anonymous event is selected:
1) Dashboard > Reports & Registration Levels:
As there won’t be any attendee information available in the Anonymous event, attendee information in reports & registration levels will be replaced with registrant information only.
2) Additional Information > Levels:
If the event type is Anonymous then purchase limit option is available and campaign role option is not available.
Purchase Limit: The admin can set the purchase limit which will affect the “Qty.” section in the external registration page. The registrant cannot register more than the purchase limit.
3) Registration Emails:
As the event type is Anonymous, there won’t be any attendee. So recipient option will not be available and by default, the emails will be sent to the registrant email address.
4) Form Fields > Contact Fields:
As the contact fields will be added only for the registrant in an Anonymous event, there won’t be “Fields for” option available.
5) Form Fields > Custom Questions:
As there won’t be any attendees in the Anonymous event, all the added custom questions will be applied only to the registrant. So “Question applies to” option is not available.
6) Registrant as a campaign member:
In case of Anonymous event, registrant can be made as the campaign member. Considering there are no attendees in the Anonymous event, the registrant is being added to the Level Campaign.
7) Registrations > Registered Attendee:
In named events, the attendee name can be changed even after registration done. But in Anonymous event, as there are no attendees, the attendee name will be replaced with registrant which cannot be changed.
