How to Create a Form or Waiver: A Step-by-Step Guide

Chasing down paper forms and signatures is nobody's idea of a good time. With SignUpGenius, you can collect information and signatures from your participants without printing a single page.

This video walks through how to build and publish a form or waiver from start to finish. You'll learn how to add fields, turn a form into a signed waiver, and share it with your group.

In just a few steps, you can:

  • Create a form or waiver for any event, program, or registration
  • Add standard fields or custom questions for anything specific to your group
  • Turn a form into a waiver with a signature line
  • Require the form or waiver before someone can check out
  • Publish and share your form with a link or QR code

What Goes Into Building Your Form or Waiver

Every form starts with the same basic shape: a title, a set of fields, and a way to share it. From there, you fill in the details that make it yours.

  • You'll start with the basics — a title, description, and a contact for questions. If your form is tied to an in-person event, you can add the date, time, and location too.
  • Next, you'll build your form. Drag on standard fields for things like name and address, or add a custom question for anything specific to your group.
  • To turn your form into a waiver, add a waiver text block and a signature line. Participants sign before they can submit.
  • You can require the form or waiver of anyone checking out, so no one slips through without signing.
  • Need to collect a few different sets of information? You can add more than one form before you publish.
  • Then you'll give it one last look and publish it to start collecting responses.

Genius Tip

Requiring a waiver at checkout means you never have to chase down a missing signature after the fact — it's built into the sign-up step itself.
