How to Add or Edit Company Level Booking Questions

Company Level questions are asked on ALL your booking types, be they Group Events, Appointments or Subscriptions.

Company Level questions can be asked at 2 'sub-levels':

a) Booking Level

These questions are asked once per booking and are remembered across all bookings made by that account

b) Participant Level

These questions are asked for each Participant being booked in - so may asked multiple times on the same booking if the booking is for multiple participants. The answers to these questions are remembered for that linked participant only.
