Multi-groups and Registration Forms

Various groups can be created and associated with a single parent group.

If the parent group is associated with a registration form. Then all sub-group members will be using the registration form from the parent group.

There can be an exception, if the child group is also associated to a form, then this form will be used.

Finally the participant will be a member of both the child and the parent group.

Example:
An external login or a coordinator has been as been associated with the group
of a Pharmaceutical company A. The group A is a sub-group from Pharma that is associated with a registration form for Pharma. Whenever a coordinator or external login is registering a participant, the registration form is the one for Pharma.

Configuration:

• create the group Pharma

• create the group A with parent group Pharma

• create an external login or coordinator associated with the group A

• create an external login or coordinator associated with the group B etc.
