Associating Record Types

You can define record types that are dependent on other record types. A use case example for this is: when public users pay fees for a record type in their shopping cart, they must also complete the application or renewal for the dependent record types. Otherwise, the user receives a payment failure message.

For instance, a nurse applies for a nurse practitioner license, and their registered nurse license expires. Upon check-out for the nurse practitioner license, the nurse sees on the cart page a payment failure message informing them that they must renew and pay for the registered nurse license. After renewing and paying for the registered nurse license, the nurse can pay for both types of licenses in the shopping cart.

When nurses renew and pay for their registered nurse licenses, they see an associated nurse practitioner license link for application on the receipt page in the shopping cart.
