Note

This form, which is received by a school official, is distinct from the school report widget-scoped form, which displays to the applicant. See the school history page article for more information. 

The school report page-scoped form is the alternative to the standard school report form sent to school officials when a student requests a school report from their institution. This custom form allows for flexibility in adding conditional logic, custom school report fields, and instructional text.

Creating a School Report Page

  Try a Slate Example

Use Suitcase to import our ready-made example school report page form. Be sure to open and re-save each form field to break any potential cache from the suitcase import.

   • Folder: Keep organized by saving custom application pages within a clear folder structure.

   • Status: Set the Status to Confirmed/Active.

4. Click Save.

5. Click Edit Form.

Adding the school report page to the Slate-hosted application

Use the Application Editor to add custom application pages built in Form Builder to the Slate-hosted application:

1. Select Database from the main navigation, then select Application Editor.

2. Choose the /apply/ link for the application base to which the new page should be added.

   NOTE: If only one application base exists, only /apply/ will appear.
   
   
   

3. From the list, select the part ID aca. This applies even if you aren’t using the standard academic history page.\

4. Click School Report Settings. A popup appears.

5. In the Edit Configuration popup, select your custom school report page from the list under School Report Page Form. 

6. Click Save.

Considerations

• If the submission of a school report satisfies any transcript checklist items, set the checklist item fulfillment to your custom school report.

• Only school report-scoped materials can be mapped on a material widget on the school report. If you want a school official to upload a transcript on behalf of the student, create a school report scoped material and have that material satisfy the transcript checklist item.
