Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

During this step, you'll create the online application form and configure standard form settings.

  1. Log in to the Campus Portal as an administrator and access FormFlow - Forms.

  2. Click Manage Forms.

  3. Click Add Form.

  4. Select online application from the Choose a template drop-down.

  5. Click Create.

    Tip

    The Add New Form window closes and a standard online application form based on the Jenzabar-provided template is created with the online application tabs and questions. You can update, add, and remove tabs and questions as needed.

  1. From the form toolbar, click Form Settings to open the Form Information pop-up.

  2. The online application form automatically has the name of the imported file with the day and time it was imported. Use the Form Name field to update this to a name online applicants will recognize when they access the form link.

  3. The template arranges the online application form tabs vertically. To change them to a horizontal layout, use the Tab Orientation drop-down.

  4. Use the Description field to add information applicants may need.

    Tip

    You can use @@ in this field to use a literal string replacer for looking up information.

  1. Click the Settings tab.

  2. Set up availability dates and times:

    1. Click in the Display On field.

    2. From the calendar that appears, select the date and time when you want your form to be available to form users.

    3. Click in the End On field.

      Tip

      The End On field is required before users will be able to access the form.

    4. From the calendar that appears, select the date and time when you no longer want your form to be available to form users.

  3. To make the form the only form available, select the Display in Main View checkbox.

    Caution

    If the Display in Main View checkbox is checked, users will not be able to pick up where they left off on their previous form submission. Users will be forced to begin a new form submission.

    Note

    If you have other forms you want to be available during the same time frame, do not select this option.

  4. To show a message to users before the form is available, enter it in the Message Before Start field.

    Notice

    This information can let form users know when the form will be available or provide contact information if they need assistance before the form is available.

  5. To use reCaptcha to validate users before the form is submitted, select the Use reCaptcha check box . If you are not using reCaptcha, proceed to Step 4: Configure Submission Options.

    Note

    This feature requires a Google reCaptcha account. reCaptcha is a validation feature that ensures the form user is a human and protects your site from bots.

    1. In the Public Key field, enter the Google reCaptcha-provided public key.

    2. In the Private Key field, enter the Google reCaptcha-provided private key.

  6. To show a message to users once the form has been submitted, select the Display a Message to the User check box and use the field and formatting options to enter your message. You can use @@ data sources to add replacer text and show personalized information such as their name.

    Notice

    Let the form users know the form has been submitted, provide additional instructions, or contact information for more information.

  7. To send form users to another website once the form is submitted, select the Transfer to Web Page checkbox and use the available field to enter the appropriate URL.

    Notice

  2. In the Number of Times a User Can Submit field, enter the total number of times you want to allow a form user to submit the form within FormFlow - Forms. Once they reach that number and attempt to submit again, a notification message appears letting them know they have met the submission limit.

  3. To remove all identifying information from the form meta-data, select the Make Submissions Anonymous checkbox. When a form user submits their form, it will come into your system as a guest user. This impacts meta-data only. If your form includes user-identifying questions such as name, address, ID number, it will be included on the form submission.

  4. To let users access and review their submissions, select the Allow Users to Review Their Own Submissions checkbox.

    Note

    The View Reports link will only let users see their own form submissions unless they have the Can View Reports feature permission.

    Tip

    You can also set the application up so that applicants can create a temporary account, save their progress, and then log back into Forms to complete the application. See Set Up Temporary Guest Accounts for more information.

  5. To limit people who can access the form, select the data source that filters users who can access the form from the Limit Access to drop-down options. If the form user who is logged in does not exist in this list, the form link will not be available.

    Note

    This only applies to schools requiring applicants to have a Campus Portal account before applying. If the applicant has a Campus Portal account, you could limit the form to candidates who are applying for a specific major or school.

    Notice

    You can make forms that only available for freshmen or seniors, parents, or faculty. If the form user who is logged in does not exist in this list, the form link will not be available.
