Settings: 

Each form you create can have a different configuration and settings:

  2. Select the language you want people to see the form in.
  3. If you want the students to be redirected to your website after completing the form, put the address here.
  4. If you want the students to be able to put their preferred hours and days for lessons, tick this box. The responses appear on the student’s card here.
  5. Enter the content of individual consents. They will be displayed on the registration form. You can mark consents as required so the student will not be able to complete the registration without confirming it. This is especially important for European based schools under the new GDPR.
  6. If you have parent accounts enabled in System Configuration, you can choose the option to divide the registration form into two. By doing this, you enable the registration of adult students and enable parents to register their children.
  7. If you don’t want to display the default message after registration, you can display the return page instead (see 3 above). To do this, tick this option.
  8. If you want to add a task to check the application is not from a spambot, tick this option.

Form Generator:

The form you have created can now be embedded into your school’s website, so students can register by computer or mobile device. If you are not too confident about doing this, contact the administrator of your school’s web site and give them the code.

  • Embed Coding for website: Once you have completed the design of the form, you can take the coding in either JavaScript or HTML from here and paste it into your website.
  • Buttons for web site: If you do not want the registration form on your website, you can past the coding to paste a button on your website. When someone clicks on the button it will take them to the registration form. The second option is for a button to take students etc., direct to the log in page of your school’s SchoolMate account, so they do not have to remember the log in URL address.

When a registration form is sent, a card for the prospective student is created in Student Prospects
