IMPORTANT: RSVP Setup requires Email Collection
With RSVP setup, you need to collect email addresses during the registration process for the system to verify the attendee. When you go to Setup > Registration > Form Questions, the email field is "Active" by default.
If you do not want to collect email addresses, you will need to change the setup from RSVP to Simple Registration.
If you want to keep the RSVP setup, then you will need to make the Email Address field Active under Setup > Registration > Form Questions!
