Hello,
We are in the hospitality & event sector and often create dinner events in which people book tables for up to 10 x guests. Essentially we are trying to create a multiple menu choices document. This will be a form for one leading guest (table host) to make menu choices from a set menu on behalf of up to 10 guests.
I would like to create a field in which the name of each one of those guests is inserted into a field and that name then imprints/repeats on each of the three menu tables: Starters, Main Course & Dessert. Please can you advice me how to do this?
Once we have got our menu published & in use I then need to be able to transfer & collate the completed forms into an Excel file - is this possible? I would like to really get this right, if it works we will use it multiple times for all future event bookings.I hope to hear from you soon,
regards,
Jane

Hello Jane, from how you described it, a widget will fit your needs when it comes to allowing users to enter multiple entries. You have a couple of options to choose from so I'll just list them all:

If I were in your shoes, I'd use the Configurable List Widget as my choice since it's flexible enough to handle a variety of form fields. We even have a dedicated guide on how to set it up.

Give that a spin and let us know if you'd need more help.
Your other question about exporting to Excel has been moved to a separate thread https://www.jotform.com/answers/1151258
We'll have it addressed there shortly.
