Attestations

Attestations let you present legal or policy statements to attendees during registration — privacy policies, codes of conduct, data-sharing agreements, waivers — and record whether each attendee accepted or declined.

You manage attestations from the Attestations tab of your event dashboard (/{slug}?tab=attestations). Each event has its own independent set of attestations.

Creating an attestation

Each attestation has five fields:

• Title — required, maximum 200 characters. Shown as the checkbox label attendees read and check. Keep it short enough to scan.
• Description — optional, maximum 4,000 characters. Prose the attendee reads above the checkbox. Use this for the full policy text or a plain-language summary.
• Document URL — optional. Must be a full http:// or https:// URL. Renders as a "View document" link beside the checkbox so attendees can open the full document in a new tab.
• Required — toggle. Required attestations block the attendee from completing registration unless checked. Optional attestations can be declined; the response is recorded either way.
• Sort order — controls the position in the Agreements step. Adjust via drag-and-drop after saving.

Required vs optional

The Required toggle is the key choice for each attestation.

A required attestation keeps the Continue button disabled until the attendee checks the box. The server re-checks all required attestations on final submission — an unchecked required attestation rejects the registration.

An optional attestation can be left unchecked. The attendee's choice — accepted or declined — is recorded with the registration either way.

Reordering attestations

Drag the handle on any row in the Attestations tab to change the order. Attestations appear to attendees in exactly this order in the Agreements step. The new order is saved immediately.

What the attendee sees

When an event has at least one attestation, a dedicated Agreements step appears in the registration wizard between the Additional Info (or Your Details) step and the Review step.

On that step, each attestation shows its title, description, and — if you set one — a link to the document. Required attestations display a checkbox that must be checked to proceed. Optional attestations display a checkbox that can be left unchecked.

If the event has zero attestations, the Agreements step is skipped entirely — attendees move straight from Additional Info to Review.

Deleting attestations

Deleting an attestation removes it from the Agreements step for all future registrations. Existing registrations that already recorded a response for that attestation are not affected — their responses are preserved.

Deletion is permanent from the operator's view, but the underlying record is retained in the database so that historical registration data remains complete.
