Overview
The Demographic checklist item widget is used to tie the completion of several system forms about a candidate's family (primarily parents) to a checklist item.
The Details
The Demographic Sections Detail Category
The configuration for the new functionality is managed using this new detail category available on the Registration Season Type record. There is a line item record for each of the sections, allowing you to configure each of them independently.

- Configurable text and icons for section descriptions: You now have the ability to configure these.
- Calculated completion: The completion of this checklist item is now calculated based on completion of the sections you designate - no more single button completion.
