Categorise Programmes
This feature sorts programmes into categories as per the Programme Type set for the programme in VETtrak. It is intended to improve the customer experience when there are large quantities of available programmes.
Show all Programmes
This setting toggles the display of courses without current occurrences. The primary function of this setting is to allow enquiries for those courses.
Show programme description
Toggle this option to show or hide the course description retrieved from VETtrak for users browsing courses.
In order for the description to be displayed when enabled, content must also have been entered into the Programme Description in VETtrak.
Enquiries for inactive programmes
Toggle this setting to display the enquiry form on courses without any current or future occurrences.
This setting requires Show all programmes to be enabled, additionally, there needs to be at least one old occurrence published (with a start and end date in the past) for the programme to be listed as an available course and subsequently show the enquiry or not.
Push enquiries to VETtrak Waiter
This option will send the details to Web Enrolments in VETtrak, under Waitlist. There the client details can be matched and then the record approved for the Waiter.
Note: A waitlist web enrolment can only be received from a direct enquiry link to the Enquiry Form if the user chooses a course. Waitlisting is not supported by the Course Enquiry widget.
Enquiries collect Date of Birth
Toggle this setting to display the Date of Birth field on the enquiry form.
Enquiries mandate collection of Date of Birth

Enable this option to display inactive/closed occurrences for valid programmes.
This will result in displaying every past occurrence that is still published for any programme that also has at least one occurrence published in the future with a start date falling within the time frame set by the Months to Show value.
This option can extend page load times significantly and should be used in combination with VETtrak’s Unpublish feature to manage occurrences.
