Hello Wise Community,

I’m revisiting an issue we’ve been grappling with regarding registration fields and clean data. I posted about this a year ago (here’s the link to the original post). Unfortunately, we’re still stuck on it. I’m hoping to get your input once again!

Issue 1: We have free self-registration enabled for our learners. Learners are prompted to choose their branch from a dropdown menu. However, selecting a branch isn’t mandatory. If a learner skips this step, they are automatically dropped into the base branch. This creates confusion because learners in the base branch are prompted to provide information that doesn’t pertain to them, and that causes confusion and bad data. 

Issue 2: To gather clean data, we need to be able to use logic and conditions in the additional fields and not only in the branch field.

Issue 3: We would like to collect a URL of the learner’s company, but there is no URL field, only a text field option. We noticed that nobody is putting in a URL. They are just typing in the name of their company or some other random thing.

My question is: has anyone custom-built their registration page or used a creative or innovative approach to tailor it to your unique needs?

Thanks for any advice or ideas you can provide!

 

​@smallc - hi - there has been some interesting progress that you may be able to leverage.

If you look at Docebo University, you may see that to register for that site, they are sending you to another form. I can confirm for you that YES they are using the ability of working with web pages that support an external facing catalog. And yes you do need to do just a little bit of API magic, but you can get detail from a custom web form (like something with Jotform) and the ability to create webhooks to help populate user information for you.

If you put no courses into the external facing catalog and never share a course via it - I think the cost of the external facing catalog page helping to make available custom webpages could be just the right middle ground for you to get to what you need from your audience.

I hope this is not cryptic. There was a learning session on something like what you are asking for recently that was offered and was co-lead by ​@pmo. 

​@dklinger, this is such an interesting idea! I really appreciate you sharing this approach, and I’ll bring it to the team right away. 

If you’re interested in learning how we created a custom external login page you can look at this post: 

 

 

​@pmo thank you so much! I’ll dig in. I’m excited to optimize the registration experience for our users and the data for us.
