    If this option is activated, several guests can register for the event with the same email address by selecting that they would like to register with a deputy email address. This is helpful, for example, if there is only one email address within a family or company that is used by several people.
    You can find more information about registering with a proxy email address here.
  • Activate by default
    If you activate this option, registration with a proxy email address for this event will be the default for every registration. 
  • Lock master data editing
    By default, a guest can change the master data that you have already stored for them during the registration process. By clicking on the “Block master data editing” link, you can deactivate this option so that the guest can no longer change the master data you have already entered.
    Note: You can undo this setting again at any time, by clicking on the "Allow master data editing" button

 

Customize Covid status

Customize Covid status -

If you have activated the “Covid status” field in the master data of the main guest and/or the accompanying person, you have the option to (de)activate certain values that your guests can select. 

The following values can be selected by your guests by default:

Here you have the option of deactivating the following covid status - in order to do that the toggle must be set to green:
