5 Update Category Window

The “Update Category” window is where you configure settings that affect the registration form and brackets for your event. Many of these settings are also used to set up the online registration form. The “Update Category” window is accessible for any existing category on the system. If you have not yet created a category for your event, please read the technical guide “Configuring Categories” to understand how create and use categories.

5.1 Accessing the Update Category Window

To access the “Update Category” window:

    1. 1. Run the full version or web version Administration Software
    2. 2. Log into the server. If you’re running the full version, access the “Server” tab.
    3. 3. Click on the word “Tournament” on the left side. This displays the list of existing events on right side.
    4. 4. Click on the event once to select it.
    5. 5. Click on the word “Categories” from the left. This displays the list of existing categories for the selected event.
    6. 6. Double click on the category which you wish to update from the right side. Alternatively, you can click on the category once to select it and then click on the “Edit” button at the bottom.

5.2 Display of Category Fields on Registration Form

The configuration of the categories directly affects how the registration form collects data that affect the brackets. The display of the category fields in the Preview pane of the “Bracket Configuration” window is how the category fields appear in the online registration form (without CSS styles).

Figure 8 shows a completed category configuration. The Preview pane on the right side of the “Bracket Configuration” window displays a preview of the online registration form based on the configuration on the left. Figure 9 shows how the registration form actually displays the category fields with the default CSS styles applied.
