9 Required Modules

You can configure a module so that all its fields are mandatory on the online registration form. When a module is required, the module name appears in red on the online registration form. The registrant must enter a value for each field of a required module before he can submit his online registration form. If you are manually entering or importing the registration from the Administration Software, required modules are displayed in red in the “Update Registrant” window but are not mandatory.

9.1 Setting a Module as Required

To set a module as required:

    1. 1. Access the “Bracket Configuration” window. See Section 7.3 if you need to know how to do this.
    2. 2. Right mouse click on the module name in the “Fields” pane. A popup menu appears.
    3. 3. Select “Set Required” from the popup menu as shown in Figure 21. When a module is set required, the word “Required” appears as a branch below the module name. If you do not see the selection “Set Required”, the module is already set as required.

9.2 Removing Requirement from Module

You can remove the requirement of a module at any time. To remove the requirement from a module, right mouse click on the module name in the “Fields” pane on the left and select “Remove Required” from the popup menu.

9.3 Special Cases for Required Module

9.3.1 Multiple Select Fields

When there are more than one “Select” fields in a required module only one selection among all the “Select” fields is allowed. Thus only one selection among all the “Select” fields is required on the online registration form. If none of the “Select” fields of a required module has a selection, then the online registration form cannot be submitted.

For example, if you have a required module for the selection of a weight class, and this module has a “Select” field called “Men’s Classes” and a “Select” field called “Women’s Classes”, the online registrant must make one selection in either the “Men’s Classes” or the “Women’s Classes” to meet the requirement of that module.

9.3.2 Checkbox Field

A checkbox field that is put in a required module must be enabled on the online registration form before the registrant can submit the form. If the registrant leaves the checkbox disabled (in other words, he leaves the checkbox unchecked), he cannot submit the form.

Do not put a checkbox field in a required module, unless you require him to enable it before submitting his form. This is useful only if you want the registrant to acknowledge certain things before he registers for the category. If you want to have a checkbox field that the registrant can leave disabled, put the checkbox field in a module that is not required.
