How do I create a Team Registration Form?

A Team to Association Form allows Association administrators to offer a registration process specifically to capture team information. These frms can include standard and custom team questions, payable fees and can allow team managers to select a competition in which to register.

Association administrators can also link a Member to Team form to the Team to Association form to allow team managers to invite teammates to register as participants of the team, offering users a seamless end-to-end team registration cycle - more information on this process can be found here.

Fields Tab

Use the Fields tab to apply display settings to any of the fields available to you in your database. This includes standard fields and custom fields.

Each available field will appear here with a visibility setting along the top of the screen. Fields can be configured to display in several ways:

• Let levels below choose - This gives lower levels the ability to choose how they want this to display. This option is best if you are not fussed about whether or not lower levels choose to use this field.
• Hidden - This means the field does not appear at all.
• Read Only - This field will display as optional, however it cannot be edited - only use this option if the answer to this field won't change (e.g Birth Certificate Number, Date of Birth etc.).
• Editable - This means that the field will display, but it can be left blank if they don't want to answer this field.
• Compulsory - This means that the field will display, and it must be completed before saving.
• Add Only (Compulsory) - This means the field will appear as compulsory but it cannot be edited once it has been completed.

Layout Tab

Use the Layout tab to configure the order in which your fields display on your registration form.

To arrange the order of your fields, click and drag the field and drop it to move it into a position on the form. It will save automatically.

The Layout Tab also allows you to add custom Text Blocks and Header Blocks on your registration form, using the ADD HEADER BLOCK or ADD TEXT BLOCK options:

Enter your Block Label and Content. The Block Label will be the name of the Header/Text Block in the Layout tab, and the Block Content will be what displays on your registration form.

Below is an example that will display This will be your heading 

Below is a text block that will display This will be your text

You also have the ability to apply Display Rules to specific fields. For example, you might want to hide the Parent/Guardian fields from registrants over the age of 18, or hide a Telephone Number field from registrants under 18. 

To add a Display Rule to a field, click the RULES button next to the corresponding field:

Choose to display the field to a specific gender or date of birth range. In the example shown below, we are applying a Display rule based on the member's date of birth so that the Nickname field only displays to members born before 31 December 2005

Products Tab

The Products tab allows you to link previously created products to your registration form

You can use the ADD PRODUCTS TO FORM to attach any existing product to the form

The Mandatory checkbox option ensure products are pre-selected for members

For information on creating a Product, please see our Create a Product article. 

Messages Tab

The Messages tab allows you to add custom text throughout the registration form process to act as a guide for your members completing the form, including a dedicated section for Terms & Conditions.

The tabs along the top of the page represent different pages of the registration form, as well as an option to display an Unavailable Message which will display to members trying to access the form if it is inactive.

Terms & Conditions can be added in the Questions tab and can be made mandatory in order to proceed through the registration process.

Competitions Tab

The Competitions tab allows you to add any of your existing competitions as options that team managers can choose to register into as part of their registration

Notifications Tab

The Notifications tab allows you to choose who should receive emails following a completed registration. You will need to ensure Organisation Contacts have been entered ensuring that the email is received as intended. For information on entering Contacts, please see our Contacts article.
