How to use Forms in Options

In this guide, we will show you how to use Forms within the Options modules

Timetablers or Curriculum Managers can use this guide to;

  • Forms Page. See which Students have made choices against a selected Option Set Up with the ability to customize the Form, submit choices and reserves and send email reminders to Students.
  • Student Forms. See examples of an option form sent to a Student and how they access the Form

Access: Depending on which Options functions you would like staff to see/access, all of the relevant permissions are located in the Options Module of Config>Setup>Roles & Permissions (after it has been licensed).

The Student then enters their school email address to generate a one-time password (OTP) which is sent to the same email address.

Send OTP request

The Student then receives another email to their school email address with the OTP

The form then changes to the OTP page so Student can leave this open ready to add the OTP they have just received.

Enter OTP

The Student enters the OTP and then clicks Open Form.

Where Option Choices have been setup for MCAS, Contacts can access the Options Form through the App. If the Setup is enabled for Contacts to Submit the Form, they will follow the same process as Students using a web version of the Form.

Note: The Close tab after Submission cannot be detected by the App, so the User should use the Back Arrow to Close the page.
