Add Questions to Activities

Add Questions to Activities

Activities can collect responses from participants using questions. These questions help you gather attendance, preferences, and other important information.

Types of Questions

There are two types of questions in Eventene:

• RSVP Questions – determine whether participants are attending
• Survey Questions – collect additional information such as preferences or feedback

Every activity includes an RSVP question. Survey questions are optional and can be added as needed. 

Event-Level vs Activity-Level Questions

Questions can be added at both the program (event) level and the activity level.

• Program-level questions are shown to all participants in the program
• Activity-level questions are only shown to participants assigned to that activity

Use program-level questions for information that applies to everyone, such as:

• General registration details
• Contact information
• Global preferences

Use activity-level questions for information specific to a session or task, such as:

• Session-specific choices
• Workshop preferences
• Activity-specific feedback

Program-level questions are managed from the Edit Program panel under the Questions tab, while activity-level questions are managed within each activity.

RSVP Questions (Attendance)

RSVP questions control how attendance is handled for an activity.

• Ask if Attending – participants choose whether to attend
• Link Attendance – attendance follows the overall program

Each activity includes a built-in attendance question that cannot be removed, but you can control how it behaves.

You can also customize the wording of the question to match your program.

Survey Questions

Survey questions collect additional information from participants.

For example:

• Meal preferences
• Session choices
• Feedback or rankings

Survey questions can be shown based on attendance status, allowing you to ask different questions depending on whether someone is attending.
