Are you aware of any Schools using this for applications? I would like to speak to them before starting it for our school.

 

Thank you

You can watch this short tutorial that will show how to set something like this up. The report is customized by us for each school based on what info you want to collect. The word document that's sent is setup by the school.

To watch just click on the link below.

First of all, I want to comment that based on the tutorial this will be a huge improvement from the way things were done till now. Thanks very much for this update.

 

However, in order to make the process seamless and without any duplicate work, please advise:

 

  1. Can the applicant report work by date, so that if a list of applicants was printed say January 1 for the menahel and then Feb 1 he wants a list of new applicants, can we track by date entered so that he doesn’t get the same children over and over?

  2. Is there any way to have a mark as printed feature or better a flag that gets generated when the mail merge document gets issued, so that when the next batch goes out, the kids on the previous batch don’t get re-printed?

Thanks,

Both options are available for the report. This isnt actually a new feature. We are just highlighting an existing feature that is underused.

What period should the applicant program be entered as? I.e. For applicants of next year but being entered now, should the program be 16-17 or being that is being entered now, should be 15-16?
commented Nov 8, 2015 by Admin
The year they are applying for.

Can you add user rights to this program so that only appropriate users can view and edit status?
commented Dec 1, 2015 by Admin
You can add user right to view only for the whole grid.
commented Dec 9, 2015 by dpilchick
Is there a way to block certain users from even viewing this field?
commented Dec 9, 2015 by Admin
Only if you remove the rights to the Additional Info and General Info tabs.
commented Dec 10, 2015 by BYBZ
But that would preclude these fromseeing other important fields that they use.
commented Dec 10, 2015 by dpilchick
Can you please add a feature to be able to block  from viewing the "additional info" tab under the main children tab and also to be able to block the "student" tab under the main "Add. Info" tab. It will help with keeping the applicant details  closed to those that don't need that info.

After I have all applicants, is it possible to mass update them into the regular period?
commented Jan 27, 2016 by Admin
No.
commented Jan 27, 2016 by Admin
But we can add such an option.
commented Jan 27, 2016 by mbs
It would be a great option to add because I am really looking forward of keeping track of all applicant in JL, however if I would then need to enter the applicants again by Periods, it would be a much longer process then till now.

Please post about this update.

Thank you for constantly taking us another step forward.
commented Feb 15, 2016 by mbs

Thanks

is there an option to add individual student from applicant to period
commented May 10, 2016 by Admin
No. You can simply go to period and add the correct info.
