## Frequently Asked Questions

### Q: Why should I use the "Registered" status when importing attendees?

**A:** Importing attendees as "Registered" status allows them to skip the registration form entirely. This is useful when you already have confirmed attendees and want them to enter the event directly without additional steps.

### Q: What should I do before uploading my CSV file for import?

**A:** Before uploading, ensure you have added all relevant custom fields to the People List via More > Manage Fields > Add New Field. This ensures your CSV columns can be properly mapped to existing fields in EventX.
