What can you set under the Fields of Activities management?

Answer

A field is an extra question or text that the guest gets when booking, such as an allergy, a drop-down or a box for your terms. You create fields under Activities management > Fields, choose the type, the name, the options and whether the field is required, and link it to one or more activities.

Where to find it

Activities management > Fields tab > plus button > Fields (/Activities)

Explanation

The window is called Create a new field and has four parts: Extra field (for which activities), Field type (the type), Name and description and Settings. The overview shows the columns Name, Label, Type, Required, List view, Manual reservation and Show in widget, with the filters Search and Activity. The screen says: "View all fields here. Add new fields with the Add button, or edit existing fields. Use fields to easily request and share information while booking, such as terms and conditions." The step-by-step version is in How do I let guests answer extra questions when booking?.
