Filter Options

FilterDescription
brandIDAllows registration page to be limited to show only the centers associated to a brand, and the programs/categories that are available for registration to those centers. Can be combined with brand, district, division, and centers to further limit results.
districtIDAllows registration page to be limited to show only the centers associated to a district, and the programs/categories that are available for registration to those centers. Can be combined with brand, district, division, and centers to further limit results.
divisionIDAllows registration page to be limited to show only the centers associated to a division, and the programs/categories that are available for registration to those centers. Can be combined with brand, district, division, and centers to further limit results.
centerIDTypically for center specific registration to change the registration page from account level to center level. The business level could be used to allow other filters to be applied to all centers that meet criteria. The settings for whether the registration page is center specific under Setup>System Config>Registration will determine if the center filter will pull up only programs created at a center, or if it should also show programs that allow cross center registration.
categoryIDRequires centerID filter to be applied. Used to force the registration to go directly into a category allowing it to skip the selection of category before selecting rooms.
roomSemesterIDRequires categoryID filter to be applied. Used to force registration to navigate directly into a program for a particular semester. This will cause it to skip the typical category and room selection process.
accountOnlyIndRequires roomSemesterId filter to be applied. Used as a simplified registration process where only the registration wants to be captured and not necessarily enrolled into a room. Primarily used by clients who want to force all parents to use the Connect Portal for registration purposes and get the extra benefits of capacity control on rooms.
groupIDRequires centerID filter to be applied. Used to force the registration to navigate directly into a category group, which will then prompt for a category selection from the associated categories assigned to the category group.
typePrimarily used to limit registration to a specific subset of programs based on type, such as camp, event, or store. Allowed Values: store, camp

How to Create URL with Filters

The following instructions can be used to help build out the URL to help filter down to the clients requirements:

Example Original URL: https://daycareworks.com/registration/template/start_registration.jsp

  1. Place a '?' (question mark) after the URL to begin adding the filter criteria. This is only needed once between the main URL and all of the filters being added.
    1. Example: https://daycareworks.com/registration/template/start_registration.jsp?
  2. Determine the parameters needed from the list above. Note that some will require other parameters to be added to work properly, and they are case sensitive.
  3. Each parameter that is needed will follow the format of parameterName=####.
    1. Example: https://daycareworks.com/registration/template/start_registration.jsp?centerID=3165
  4. If multiple parameters are needed, they can be separated by '&'.
    1. Example: https://daycareworks.com/registration/template/start_registration.jsp?centerID=3165&categoryID=583
