New Features
Enrollment Form Type
We added an Enrollment Form type.
An Enrollment Form differs from a Generic Form in that an Enrollment Form is not published and sent to every parent account. This form is set up to only be added to select prospects. You can access the interface to add prospects to the form under Send Form
Only prospects with an Online Forms account can be added to a form. If you have manually entered a prospect to AdmissionsPlus and want to send an Enrollment Form to them, you need to create an account for them under Accounts in the Online Forms Manager.
Form Preview
The Form Builder includes a form preview feature.
Click Preview in the upper-right corner of the Form Builder to open the form in a new tab, displayed as a parent would see it.
Improvements
Attachment Form Type
We updated the way AdmissionsPlus handles Attachment Sections.
Previously, forms contained an Attachment section. Each required item added there appeared in the Requirements to be Completed section for the prospect in their parent’s account.
Now, Attachment is a form type. When you select the Attachment type for a form, a simple file upload interface item appears under Requirements to be Completed. You can use this feature to collect documents that you require even if they don’t need to be submitted with the application.
Display Grade Description Instead of Grade Level
AdmissionsPlus Manager includes a specification to display the Grade Description instead of the Grade Level when adding a prospect to a parent account.
This specification is ideal for schools with non-standard grade levels.
Add Save and Revisit Later to Visitation Forms
Visitation forms have a Save and Revisit button.
This helps schools using long or involved visitation forms. Dates and times that a user selects are not saved until the form is submitted.
Visitation Forms – Multiple Visitors
Visitation Day Specifications includes an Allow Multiple Visitors specification. When this specification is selected, the form prompts users to enter the number of visitors who will be attending. Each of these visitors is deducted from the total number of open slots. Using this feature, schools can better plan visits, such as tours, where each family could bring a variable number of visitors, but the school can only handle a set number.
Add Images to Email Templates
You can add images to the email templates used in auto-reply scenarios.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that caused the Venue and Meeting Times to populate across all visitation forms. Now, each visitation form can have its own set of venues and meeting times.
Fixed an issue that prevented users from changing a form’s type after creating it. Now, only Recommendation forms will prevent the user from changing the type.
Recommendation forms cannot be changed to other types due to the special sections and formatting that a Recommendation form requires.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Login button to be inaccessible on a mobile device.
- Fixed an issue that caused AdmissionsPlus Manager to time out if you also logged into the parent site.
