This page is only available to users who log on to ASCENDER ParentPortal with a district- or campus-level security administrator user name.
This page allows administrative users to create customized forms that can be used during Student Enrollment and Online Registration.
Step 1
Form Properties:
❏ Add the form.
| Form Name | Type a name for the form. For a Spanish form, provide the name in Spanish. |
|---|---|
| Form Instructions | Type any specific district-level instructions for the form. For a Spanish form, provide the instructions in Spanish. |
| Campus | Select a campus in order to assign the form to a specific campus. Or, select All Campus if the form is used for all campuses in the district. If you select All Campus, each campus is listed, and you can remove individual campuses if needed. NOTE: If you select All Campus by mistake, click Clear all to clear all campuses at once. |
❏ Click Next.
Step 2

The following field types refer to the answer you are soliciting from the parent. Each type of field has a specific set of properties that must be entered.
| Date Field | The parent will be asked to enter a date in the MM/DD/YYYY format. |
|---|---|

- Help Text - Type further instructions for the question if needed. This will be displayed when a parent hovers over a question mark icon next to the field.
- Placeholder - Type any text that you want to appear in the field, such as a sample answer. For example, in an email field, you may type name@email.com. The parent's actual answer will overwrite any placeholder text.
- Name - Type the name of the field that will appear in the response. Parents will not see this name; it is for internal use only.

Options - Type each multiple choice selection.
