If your event has no brackets, you can still use the modules, fields, and field items to construct the registration form and collect the required registration data. This is useful for events such as seminars or workshops. You can use a mix of field types and group them as required. The only difference is that you will not be using any of the brackets that may be created by your category structure. Thus, you are unlikely to find any use for the “Brackets” tab of the full version of the Administration Software. To add modules and fields to your event without the use of brackets, follow the same instructions used for modeling brackets in Section 6 and Section 7.
You don’t need to use categories to create your event, but if you want to use the online registration form, you must have at least one category with a current price. The registrant will be unable to submit an online registration form without the selection of one category. A category will not appear on the online form unless it has at least one unexpired price. Events without categories are useful only if you use the event’s website for information only, or if you use the Administration Software for tracking manual entries for registrations.
