Setting up your Centre Tabs
Child Fields (OPTIONAL)
Custom fields allow centres to create additional fields to appear on Child Profiles. These can also flow through to the Digital Enrolment Form. Parents can then fill this out when the child enrols rather than you having to do it later.
These can be in formats to suit a variety of possible fields:
Text
Date
Checkbox
Dropdown
There are 2 types of fields that can be created:
1. Permission fields appear on the enrolment form (both the online version that parents fill out and the preprinted forms) and take the form of True/False fields only.
2. General fields do not appear on the enrolment form, but have more flexibility in terms of input types - they can accept text, dates, lists and checkboxes.
By default, Discover may come with several permission fields already set up. However, these can be deleted or changed as needed to customise them for your centre.
To create a Custom field, click Create New.
- Field Type: General or Permission
- Field Name: Type in the question or prompt you would like the parent/guardian to enter.
- Field Tool Tip: This will give further insights to other admins as to what information should be held in this box
- Field Type: How this will be answered (True/False, Text Line, Date, List).
- Report Title: How the field will be displayed in Reports - Input up to 12 characters
- Show On Enrolment Form: This question will appear on the enrolment form
- Show On Printed Enrolment Form: This will appear on the printed version of the enrolment form
- Is required: This must hold a response in order to move forward
