The Advanced Fields module in Eventixa Pro allows you to create reusable custom attendees fields that can be assigned to your events. These fields are useful for displaying additional event information that is not included in the default event settings.

Instead of creating separate fields for every event, you define them once in Settings → Advanced Fields and reuse them across multiple events.

Advanced Fields can be displayed on the event page, hidden from visitors, or shown only to specific audiences based on your visibility settings.

Available in: Eventixa Pro

Assigning Advanced Fields to an Event

After creating your reusable fields:

1. Open an event.
2. Navigate to the Advanced Fields tab.
3. Enter the required values.
4. Save or update the event.

Each event stores its own values while sharing the same reusable field definitions.

Frontend Display

When a field contains a value and its visibility allows it, Eventixa automatically displays the information on the Single Event page.

Typical presentation:

Editing Existing Fields

You can modify:

• Label
• Placeholder
• Help Text

Changes apply wherever the field is used.

Reordering Fields

Fields can be reordered from the Advanced Fields page.

The same order is used when displaying them inside the Event Editor and on the frontend.

Deleting Fields

Deleting a field removes it from future use.

Before deleting a field, verify that it is no longer required by existing events.

Best Practices

• Use short, descriptive labels.
• Group related fields together.
• Use dropdowns instead of free text when possible.
• Add help text for complex fields.
• Use default values for commonly repeated information.
• Keep required fields to a minimum.
• Hide sensitive information using frontend visibility settings when appropriate.

• Combine Advanced Fields with Event Categories and Custom Templates to build rich, information-heavy event pages without custom development.
