Modified on Thu, 17 Nov 2016 at 03:21 PM

  1. At the top of your dashboard, click the module access icon > Administration > Settings > Add Admission Additional Details to open the Add additional details page.


  1. In the Name field, enter the name of the custom field that will appear on the student admission form.

  2. Select the status of the field name:

  • Active – A custom detail field with this status will be available in the student admission form and can be used to record additional details about the applicant.

  • Inactive – A custom detail field with this status will not be available in the student admission form.

  1. Select the Is mandatory checkbox to set this field as a mandatory field that must be filled by the student.

  2. In the Input method field, select the field input method from the following options:

  • Text Box – Enter brief text information.

  • Text Area – Enter detailed text information.

  • Select Box – Select an option from a drop-down list.

  • Check Box – Select one or more items from a set of options.

  1. Click the Create button.

  2. Use the arrow icons to determine the order that the fields will appear in the student admission form.


Note: You can also use the Additional Fields option on the Settings page to add additional fields to the applicant admission form and capture information relating to applications only.


The difference between these normal additional fields and custom additional fields is – information recorded via the normal additional fields will not be attached to a student’s profile, while information recorded via custom additional fields will be attached to a student’s profile.
