This page allows you to create and edit form group headings so you can group related forms.
A form must be added to a group (or to the Online Registration template) in order to be accessible to parents.
Some groups are included automatically.

|---|---|
Groups fall into one of three categories: |
|
| Group Name | |
| Form Count | |
Scroll down to view instructions for default groups, new groups, and existing groups.
NOTE: Standard forms must be added to a group in order for parents to see them in txConnect. You can create a new group for standard forms, or you can add them to an existing group.
Update a default group:
For groups that are included by default, you can only modify Language Context and Special instructions and add forms to the group. You cannot change the name of a default group.
- External groups only allow you to add static forms.
- The New Student Enrollment Forms group allows you to add static and standard forms.
Click the spyglass icon 
to edit a group.
The group details are displayed on the left side of the page under Form Group Detail (left side).

NOTE: The Home Language Survey standard form can only be added to the New Student Enrollment Forms group; it cannot be added to any other group.
Any archived forms in the group are highlighted in orange.
NOTE: Standard forms generally do not need to be added to the Student Data Editing group.
