3.1 Setting a Minimum Age Requirement for the Primary Person in a Household
Problem
Can you force birthdays that make a person 18+ to be entered as the Primary Person in Household update for WebTrac and RecTrac, so that a minor cannot create an account (without lying about their birthday)?
Solution
Yes, you can.
This requires a Custom Screen Design.
Go to Management Screen Management and create a Custom Screen for Household Update.
On the Birthday Field for the Primary Person, set the MaxDate field to: DaysFromToday|-6575 (See Attached Image: maxdate.png) To use an age other than 18, simply adjust the |-<x> value appropriately by multiplying 365 by the minimum age desired. |-7665, for example, would be a minimum age of 21.
Optional: You can make the field 'Required' by selecting the FieldRequired option from the Advanced Field Parameters screen.
Save your changes. Be sure to apply your Custom Screen. Refer to the Topic Doc linked below.
You can do this for WebTrac too. Go to WebTrac Management Screen Management and repeat the steps above. At this time WebTrac does not prevent the user from accessing 'newer' dates on the GUI calendar, but when validating the value it will give them a message that the birthday has to be prior to <x> date.
