¶ Pages
¶ Overview
Pages is a flexible subsystem to allow you to create registration and informational pages.
My pages created here will display in the Information tab on the attendee side of the software (my.cardboardevents.com).
Register pages are how your volunteers, vendors, and publishers apply to attend your convention and how your attendees purchase badges.
Note: To create registration and application pages a Form is required first. Default forms can be used or inputs can be customized.
