No Phone or DOB on Find Page
============================

Two settings on the `Registration > Registration` tab control whether to include these
questions when soliciting information to find their record. This is encountered when a
registrant is not logged in and is presented a group of identifying questions. (We call
this the "Find" page.) You must have the **Edit** role to change these settings.

By default, on new Involvements, the registrant is prompted for the following information:

* First Name
* Last Name
* Date of Birth
* Phone
* Email Address

You can omit the Date of Birth question and/or the Phone question by toggling off the
appropriate setting on the Involvement.

Omit One or Both Questions
--------------------------

To omit one or both of these questions, go to the Involvement's `Registration > Registration`
tab and click `Edit`. The settings are in the **Relaxed Requirements** section.

* To omit the prompt for date of birth, uncheck `Find shows Date of Birth`.
* To omit the prompt for phone number, uncheck `Find shows Phone Number`.

Remember to click `Save`.

.. caution::
    We recommend using this sparingly, not on all of your registrations. By prompting for date of
    birth and phone, a registrant might find their record even if they do not have an email address.
    Also, with these questions omitted, you might run into a father / son situation in which the names
    are the same and the father's email address is used on the child's record. In which case, a new
    record will be created because there will not be a unique match. In other words, *omitting these
    questions can lead to an increased likelihood that duplicate records are created*.

.. note::
    Using these settings to change the Find page will not change the information that is required
    when creating a new record during an online registration. If you want to relax those requirements
    (we do not recommend this), you will use the other checkboxes in the Relaxed Requirements section.
