Is there a form you want your people to fill in/complete?
Display.Church can handle your form in three ways depending on whether or not it is attached to an event in your ChMS.
Attached to an event: link in your event details
When people click on your event, they can get more information in an 'accordion' display below the event listing or as pop-up box. Within that display, you can include a link to your PCO form. Find out how to do that in this article: http://help.display.church/en/articles/5583239-design-forms-pco
Attached to an event: call-to-action (CTA) button
You can include a CTA button which links to your event form in your event details.
In some calendar views whose design allows (such as Cards [Grid]), you can also include this CTA button in the calendar view itself. Find out how to do that in this article: http://help.display.church/en/articles/8442825-calendar-design-calls-to-action
Attached to an event or not: sign-up form / registration widget
This option will show all public forms whether or not they are attached to events. In other words, items which are listed in the Planning Center service:
In other words, when you click on this item, you see a similar page:
EXAMPLE: Our current template is Cards (Grid). When your people click on a card, they are taken to the relevant public sign-up / registration form.
So, for example, if you have a volunteer availability form which you would like your new members to complete (and your existing members to update), you could handle it via this method.
โ
Having said that, if you have a VBS sign-up form which you include as part of your event details (but would like to have separately also), you can do that with this option.
In any case, continue with the steps below.
NOTE: Your sign-up forms will display in alphabetical order of their names.
