PARKS DIRECT questions help you gather participants’ information before the start of an offering (a program, trip, ticketed event, etc.).
You have two options when adding questions, an Individual Question or a Question Set. The steps below show you how to add both question types to an activity’s section.
Before adding a question(s), be mindful of the information already available in PARKS DIRECT. For example, if participants need a PARKS DIRECT household account before enrolling, then participants' emails (along with other required account information like ages, addresses, drivers licenses, phone numbers, and disability accomidations) are already in PARKS DIRECT.
Questions are most useful when customers purchase items, like tickets, as a "Daily Guest."
Sign in to PARKS DIRECT and go to Management > Activity Management > Activity Management on the sidebar menu.
On the Activity Management datagrid, highlight the activity that houses the section you want to add the participant question(s) to.
Next, select Section Management on the bottom left of the screen.
You can sort the datagrid by using the filters on top. For example, enter an activity's name into the Short Description filter and press Enter on your keyboard.
Find and highlight the section you want to add the question(s) to and select Change on the bottom left.
Select the Questions tab on the top of the Activity Update screen. The section's Questions tab is where you can add question(s) for participants to answer.
Individual Questions and Question Sets
Select Link Individual Question near the bottom left of the Questions screen.
In the Question Text box on the Question Text Management pop-up, type a word (or a few) related to the question you want to link to the section.
Highlight the question you want to add. Next, use the Select button on the bottom right of the pop-up.
Select Link Set near the bottom of the screen. PARKS DIRECT will open the Set Maintenance-Question Set pop-up.
Highlight the Question Set that the section needs on the datagrid.
Select Create Set Link on the bottom left of the pop-up.
Save the section
Make sure you save the new question(s) by selecting Save on the bottom-left corner of the Activity Section Update screen. PARKS DIRECT will save the section and close Activity Section Update.
