Author Topic: Using Participant Information in a Search (Read 338 times)

During the registration process I collect meal preference for every participant (using a radio button to choose between meal option 1 and 2 and a open text field to enter any specific allergy or request).

I'd like now to have a view ready to print with all the member attending, date of registration and meal preference.

I've tried to set up a specific profile to use in the advanced search form, but the profile wizard prevent to add any information related to participant in a search profile.

What am I missing? Should I collect those information using a different entity?
I've been looking on the forum and found this post from 2009: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,8465.msg36607.html#msg36607 but I am not sure if
(1) I am referring to the same thing
(2) answers provided then are still valid with CiviCRM4.2

Thanks in advance for your help and support on this one.

Seems like this can be accomplished (1) using the "Event Participants Listing" report provided by the CiviReport component, but (2) for each custom data field that needs to be included, the setting "Is this Field Searchable?" must be enabled on that custom data field in order for it to appear in CiviReport and be available as a filter.
