Preview Your Registration Form Before Publishing

The Registration Form preview feature in Cadence allows you to see exactly how your form will appear to attendees before making it live. Through the Registration Menu › Form section, you can test the user experience, verify question logic, and ensure all required fields function correctly without affecting your actual registration process.

When to use

  • Before finalizing a new registration form
  • After making changes to existing questions or form settings
  • When testing conditional logic in your form
  • Before sending registration links to attendees

Before you start

You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to access the preview functionality.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
    Navigate to your event dashboard.
    Click on "People" in the left sidebar menu.
    Select "Registration" from the submenu that appears.
    Click on the "Form" tab at the top of the page.
    Ensure the "Enable Registration Form" toggle is switched on.
If this toggle is off, there will be no registration form to preview.
    Make any necessary changes to your form questions and settings.
    Click the "Preview" button located in the top-right corner of the form builder.
The preview opens in a new tab, allowing you to keep the form editor open for quick adjustments.
    Test your form by completing all fields as an attendee would.
    Verify that conditional questions appear correctly based on your selections.
    Check that required fields are properly marked with asterisks (*).
    Test form validation by attempting to submit with missing required fields.
    Return to the form editor tab to make any necessary adjustments.
    Repeat steps 8-13 until you're satisfied with the form experience.
    Click "Save" to apply your changes to the live form.

Troubleshooting

If the preview doesn't display correctly:
  • Verify that you've saved recent changes before previewing
  • Check that your event status is set to "Published" or "Review" rather than "Draft"
  • Ensure your browser isn't blocking pop-ups, as the preview opens in a new tab
