Rearranging fields

Back to top

Dragging Fields

You can change the order in which fields display by hovering your mouse over the field you wish to move, holding down your left mouse button, dragging the field into its new position, and releasing it.

 

Archiving fields

Back to top

If you no longer wish to use a field on your Guest Form, you can archive it. In doing so, you remove the field from the booking form, reports, and invoices.

 

Guest Form Archive Field

 

An Archive button displays to the right of any fields you have created yourself.

System fields, such as name and email address, cannot be archived, so the button does not appear next to those fields.

Click on the button to archive the field and remove it from your Guest Form.

 

Restoring archived fields

Guest Form Expand Archived Fields

In the Archived Fields section of the Guest Form edit page, you see an arrow icon on the right side. Click on this to slide out a list of your archived fields.

 

Guest Form Restore Field

Clicking the Restore button to the right of the field you need to restore immediately returns the field to your Guest Form.

 

Note

Archiving a field or any data collected via that field from the system does not delete it. Archiving removes the field from the booking form, keeping your data intact.

If you disable the Guest Form integration entirely, any previously filled-in field information is hidden. The field information is available again once you re-enable the Guest Form.
