This article explains how to use Event Attributes on Grip Manage to segment your signups.
Event Attributes are a way to group, allocate and track your signups with internal 'attributes' that are not visible to the Signup holder themselves.
Use cases are for example:
- Tracking people with special needs
- Tracking VIPs that need to be assigned a special badge
- Tracking special access to certain areas at the event
How to configure Event Attributes
Event attributes are configured by going to:
- Settings > Event Settings > Registration (left hand navigation bar) > Event Attributes
- From here, you're able to 'add new attributes'
There are two types of attributes. Booleans, which are effectively checkboxes, and multiple-choice, which will be shown as a dropdown on the record.
The end result might look like this on the event attributes page:
The next step is assigning an Event Attribute to a signup
There are two ways of assigning an attribute to a signup
- Through a unique registration link
- Based on a registration question answer
- Manually from the admin interface
Assigning an Attribute based on the Registration Link
To assign an attribute based on the registration link, use the 'quick copy registration link' feature on the Manage Event Attributes page. Select the ticket type, and click on the attributes that you want to see being automatically assigned to the registration.
Now copy the registration link. You'll notice that any signup coming in through that link is automatically assigned the attributes that you have highlighted.
Assigning an Attribute based on a registration question answer
After creating your Event Attributes go to the registration questions overview and open the question that you want to automatically associate with an attribute.
On this page, click on the 'options' tab followed by the settings cog next to the multiple-choice field.
You're now able to select which attributes should be automatically assigned to registrations that answer with this particular option as shown in the example below:
Assigning an Attribute Manually
This is the most straightforward way of using Attributes, simply go to the signup record and select the ticket that you want to associate the attribute with.
Click "edit" and see the Attributes where you're now able to easily assign the attribute of your choosing to the record.
