Overview
In Converia, personal data is requested in several places. Some settings apply centrally and affect multiple modules (e.g. registration). These include preselected values and validation mechanisms to ensure data quality.
Prerequisites
Access to Configuration → Basic Settings → Configuration
Configuration / Procedure
Navigate to Configuration → Basic Settings → Configuration → General settings.
Preselected country in registration
The country is usually a required field.
To make data entry easier, set a default selection (especially if the majority of participants come from one country).
Privacy policy mandatory check
Show or hide the mandatory confirmation centrally.
Configure the correct link in the text via the mandatory fields.
Automatic verification of email address
During registration, the automatic check verifies whether an email address already exists in the system (to prevent duplicate records).
By default, the check applies across all conferences, but it can be restricted to the respective conference.
The check cannot be disabled.
If an existing address is detected, an overlay appears (log in with an existing account or continue without logging in).
Suggested extisting companies / institutions
Suggestions from existing personal records are displayed as soon as at least 3 characters have been entered.
By default, the matching process applies across all conferences, but it can be restricted to the current conference. (Recommended)
The suggestions cannot be disabled.
