The Participant types tab in Event settings defines the groups at your event, such as Buyer and Seller, and the rules between them. Each participant belongs to one type, and an event needs at least one type before it can be published. The tab ends with profile fields, which have their own page.

​
Participant types

Select Add participant type to open the dialog, then Save changes. Use Edit participant type and Delete participant type at the end of each row. Deleting a type also removes its participant type rules, its custom meeting limits, and its profile field assignments. A type with participants assigned, a type that a profile field applies to exclusively, and the last type of a published event can’t be deleted. When an exclusive field exists, the dialog names it and disables the delete button. Change that field’s Applies to first.

​
Participant type rules

Rules are directional. Select the Requester type at the top, then set the switches on the card of each type it can interact with, including its own. Buyer → Seller and Seller → Buyer are separate rules, so set both. Switches save immediately. If visibility is off but meeting requests are on, the card warns that participants can request meetings with people they can’t see in the participant list.

​
Effects elsewhere

  • A Public link event needs at least one type with Selectable at registration on. Otherwise the Registration tab warns that no one can register through the link.
  • Meeting limits per type are set in Meeting rules.

​
Troubleshooting

A profile field applies only to this type, and the dialog names it. Open the field under Profile fields, change Applies to, then delete the type.
