MyConferenceTime can collect data when parents sign up for a conference. One piece of data that many schools want is whether the conference is to be virtual, in-person or phone. Use these steps to ask parents about their preference for type of conference.


  1. Log in to MyConferenceTime as an admin

  2. Under the Admin Options menu, select "Fields"


  3. Change the preferred text of one of the Extra Fields to your desired text to ask about the type of conference. (For example: "Type of conference? (phone, virtual, in-person)") It does not matter which Extra Field you change.

  4. Change the field from "Hidden Field" to either "Optional Field" (field is available for data entry but the field may be left blank) or "Required Field" (all registrants must enter text). 

  5. Optional but highly recommended step: If you would like to define the responses so that parents must select from a drop-down list of choices, please see our directions for Fields - Custom, pre-defined responses

  6. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click on "Save Required Fields and Alternate Field Titles."


  7. When you need to view the data for the type of conference, please use our directions to view/download student info.
    Additionally, each teacher can view the data that the parent entered by going to his/her schedule, switching to list view, then showing details.
