Since rolling out our Online Forms component for the QuickSchools Admissions Module, we’ve had several suggestions for improvement. The Custom Fields module in particular is a very powerful tool for recording virtually any information related to an application, especially since the Custom Fields support a variety of field types (like text, dates, dropdowns, etc). But sometimes making use of (or transferring) these custom fields after a student is enrolled can be a bit cumbersome.

So we’re happy to announce that the QuickSchools Admissions Module now supports the ability to use / manipulate custom field information to do one or more of the following:

• Create Parent Records for the student: Create custom fields for relevant parent information that you’d like to store, and we can transfer this information into parent records attached to the student.
• Create Fee Tracking Charges for the student: Calculate and create fees to be applied to the student once the student is enrolled.

The customization process requires knowledge of Java, and is not yet available for public use. So if you require this type of customization done on your admissions process, contact our technical support staff and we can get it set up for you.

Also, please do let us know if there are any other processes you’d like to automate when an applicant is enrolled as a student. We’re always looking for ways to improve.
