Copy and online form to save yourself time manually setting up a new form from scratch. All question fields, settings and products from the original form will be copied, meaning all you need to do is review the new form and make any necessary updates.
A form is commonly copied when a year/season or term changes and a new form is needed for the new period.
Note: You cannot copy an official form (SuperForm) that is provided by your governing body. If you use an official registration form and you need a new version of it for the new season, please request this from your governing body.
How to Copy an Online Form
To copy a form, go to Online Registrations from your Sporty Dashboard.
Then click the copy icon that is to the right of the original form you wish to copy.
Create in new year
By default, the system assigns the new form to the next year and creates a roll-forward relationship. This allows you to easily migrate registration records from the original database to the new one.
Untick this box to keep the new form in the same year (e.g., for a new term).
Note that the roll-forward relationship is only created if the two forms are linked together (see below), if you have unticked this box then the automatic roll-forward relationship is prevented.
Link Existing form to new form
By default, the system will link the two forms together meaning a roll-forward relationship is established. If you have displayed your existing form on your site or shared the link to the form, linking the existing form to the new form means that when the existing form is closed, the new form that is linked will automatically display.
Note that if you still need to migrate data or invite previous registrants without changing the year, you must manually link the forms, as the "Link existing form" option is also enabled by default.
Invite the original database of people to re-register via Online Forms
Retain administrators on new form
Retain administrators will be on by default. This is where an organisation has multiple administrators but some may have limited access to only one form. Unticking this would mean that this administrator would not have access to the new seasons form.
Click Save to complete creating a copy of your form. The new form will appear in your list of forms in Online Registrations in the specified folder.
You can now edit the new form, rename it, and check that its text, question fields, and payment details (if any) are appropriate for your purposes.
You may note that, if you used attendance fields in your form (see this article regarding these fields) the fields have now been pre-emptively cleared/removed for the new season. The fields can now be set up once more using the new dates.
