Hi there, I use queries to pull out event booking data, rather than exporting from NXT, as I have much more control over fields I want to see (eg to make name badges/build table plans). But in query I cannot pull out data for preferred sit with or dietary requirements, which are stored in NXT as participant options. It is so infuriating I have taken to manually adding this data as participant attributes in database view!

This would be super helpful - please implement this!

Without the ability to add attributes into dataview (and therefore segment comms through query), the current event registration isn't suitable for use beyond the most straightforward purpose.

This is a very important attribute that needs to be added to the web based view in order to have all information necessary for planning future events.

We have tracked dietary allergens as a participant option in NXT; the fact that information doesn't correlate into DB view puts our guests at risk if someone is looking at the guest list or info in DB view and does not see this vital information. This is a major oversight and could be extremely dangerous.

Why are there not participant custom fields in NXT - at least they would/should map to the participant attributes in DB view?

This is very necessary to make the Event function in web view useful. There is no reason to have to recreate participant options in Web view when they were previously made in database view.

This is very important to have this information in Database view as well. Please add these options!

I did not even realize database view was not capturing event attributes from a web form until recently. This is definitely essential, in my opinion.

This is absolutely essential please when we still don't have event forms available in NXT. We need to import participant options and registrations in bulk rather than doing it manually please

When a person is making a gift online, there are options to bring in attributes from information the person has to fill out on the donation page. Why can't this be a similar things in events. Have fields that are filled out for the registration process that will then automatically go to as an attribute on the participant record - but then should also have the option to go to the constituent record as well.

It would be very helpful to include participant options in the database view. I need to report on class year and name at graduation and they are not available in query.

I would like to import participant options and it needs to be a field in database view to be able to do that. After registration has already started, we decided to start tracking an option for participants, and now I am manually adding it to everyone. It would be good to be able to query, export, and import participant options in the database.

We report on partner referrals to educational events. The inability to do this across events with participant options is one of the roadblocks to us using NXT registration forms.

I understand this could be complicated, since NXT doesn't use the same Participant Attributes, or registration fee units, but more integration of information would be really helpful. thanks for bringing this up.

Seconding what Ellen commented. We would like to be able to filter on this information in database view queries and export it out with other identifying information for the constituent.

Not a report, but an EXPORT. We can't locate the Guest name fields to pull them from the Database.

I have a followup question for you. Which reports are you pulling out of database view that you'd like to include participant option values in?
