Uploading files as part of event registration
You can now allow or require event registrants to upload documents and images as part of their event registration. To do so, you add an event field of the new file attachment type to the event registration form.

The supported document formats are: TXT, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PTT, PPTX, ZIP, CSV. The supported image formats are: JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIF, TIFF.
If you designate your file attachment field as a required field, then registrants will have to upload at least one file before proceeding with their registration.
After the registrant uploads a file and confirms the registration, administrators can view the file attachment(s) from the registrant's registration details.
Registrants can view their attachments by clicking their event registration within the list on the My event registrations tab of their member profiles. Registrants cannot replace or delete file attachments after submitting the registration form.
