This document is for '''VERSION''' '''4''' of Prodon. To go to the document of version 5, [[ProDon:Participant_Management&action=edit|click here]].  

== Introduction  ==

It is possible to manage the participants for the different fundraising activities.<br> 

Example: 

The '''''Logilys''''' company purchases 4 tickets for a golf tournament. 

The transaction will be carried out on behalf on this company, which is the payer, and the name of each player will be entered in the participants section. Note that these participants <u>may or may </u><u>not be</u> in the database.<br> 

Thereafter, it will be possible to produce and print participants lists and reports for each activity. 

== Activity Configuration  ==

From the [[ProDon:Donation Occasion Management|"Donation occasion"]] management, select the line of the activity and double-click to open the [[ProDon:Donation Occasion Management#Main_Screen|"Edit/View activity"]] window, then click on [[ProDon:Donation Occasion Management#Participants|"Participants"]] in order to activate the participant management.<br> 

It is possible to add fields to document specific options for an activity (e.g. table number, shotgun start, golf ball colour, etc.). Simply name the option label (e.g. [[ProDon:Donation Occasion Management#Participants|"dinner table"]]).<br> 

== Add Participants  ==

Following the activation of the participant management for an activity, the "Participants" tab becomes available during a transaction addition for this activity. 

There are two types of activities: the "Standard" type and the "Sale price" type. [[ProDon:Donation Occasion Management#Main_screen|Click here]] to learn more. 

If the activity is of "Sale price" type, you first have to enter a quantity in the "General" tab of the transaction to obtain an equivalent number of lines to the number of participants to enter (e.g. 3 tickets sold = 3 lines to add participants).

'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">A: </span>'''Allows you to add or remove lines to the participants list if the activity is of "Standard" type. If the activity is of "Sale price" type, the number of lines needed is calculated automatically based on the quantity entered in the "General" tab.

'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">B: </span>'''By double-clicking on a blank line, it is possible to search among the existing clients in the database to add a participant.

'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">C: </span>'''It is also possible to manually enter information in the available fields if the client is not present in the database.

'''NOTE:''' If the client is not present in the database and you feel the need to add him or her, double-click on a blank line and the "Clients list" box will open. Then click on "New" to add the client to the database.

If some option labels have been named during the [[ProDon:Participant Management#Activity_Configuration|activity configuration]], the columns "Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3" and "Option 4" will automatically have the names they were attributed earlier. 

In the following example, the "Option 1" field has been replaced for "Shotgun start" and the "Option 2" field has been replaced for "Dinner table".

'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">D: </span>'''To quickly enter the same information for all the participants of a transaction, enter the value and click on "Assign". In this example, all the participants will be assigned table 056 and shotgun start 02. 

| width="50%" | 
'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">E: </span>'''In the same example, if the box "Establish a numerical sequence on an option by multiple of 1" would have been checked, the first participant would have started his round of golf at the second hole and would sit at table 056; the second participant would have started her round of golf at the third hole and would sit at table 057; the third participant would have started his round of golf at the fourth hole and would sit at table 058. 

|-
| width="50%" | 
'''<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">F: </span>'''It is also possible to manually assign a table and a different shotgun start for each participant. Simply enter the desired shotgun start and table in the right fields. To do so, you must not write anything at step <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">'''D'''</span>. 

| width="50%" | 
'''NOTE''': In the option "Establish a numerical sequence on an option by multiple of", it is possible to modify the multiple "1" for any other digit, the numerical sequence will then be done with this multiple. For instance, if the entered digit had been "2", the first participant would have started his round of golf at the second hole and would sit at table 056; the second participant would have started her round of golf at the fourth hole and would sit at table 058, and so on.
