Field Definitions/Options
Field Name - This is how the system identifies this question and will be the abbreviated name for the particular question. This should be something short but will be an indicator of what the question is about.
Custom Field Type - This is where you will choose the type of question you want to ask and the format in which the applicant is able to respond to the question. For instance, if you would like the applicant to be able to check off several items in a list, you would select "Checkbox List - Full Display" but if you would only like them to be able to select one item, you would choose Radio Buttons or Custom List/Dropdown.
Custom Field Display Name - The actual question the applicant sees
Custom Field Description - Use this for any excess language if your question is too long for the Custom Field Display Name
Display Order - Allows you to order the question in the order in which you would like them to appear to the applicant.
Default Value - Use if you would like a constant value to appear for the applicant to see
Mask Option - When you require data to be entered in a certain format, see more about "Masks" here
Submit - Sets up the question so that the district can require the applicant answer it in order to submit their application. If the field / question is purely informational and does not require an answer, this can be set to "Read Only".
Please Note: The question must be set to "Editable" for an applicant to be able to answer it.
- Editable - The applicant has the ability to edit the field to provide their answer.
- Editable Required - The applicant will not be able to submit their application unless they provide answers.
Please Note: Hidden or Read Only Should NOT be selected at any time.
Once these fields have been edited, you can either Save or Save and Add Another to Continue creating questions for this particular Question Set.
