The list of available courses is limited to the schools that you have access to. You can also adjust course descriptions within the dropdown setup. The description will appear as a expandable dropdown that is visible to whoever is filling the form.

Courses are further restricted by the Form Year, which must be set and saved before adding courses. Additional restrictions to a Course Dropdown can be applied using the Course Links section within the Schools Grades Tab.

When selecting courses, you can rearrange how they appear by dragging the (blue star) Move icon, or remove courses by clicking the (blue star) Remove icon.

Map

Overview

The Map field is used to auto-complete and visualize addresses, as well as push users to certain schools, depending on the boundaries that their address falls within.

Form Field Settings

Use Canada Post Data

If the division has a Canada Post AddressComplete account, the Address Complete functionality can be used within SchoolEngage as an auto complete for mailing addresses. To do so, please send the SchoolEngage team a copy of the API credentials for the account. Once that has been set up, checking this checkbox will turn on the address complete functionality for this map field.

Show Map

This setting toggles whether or not a map displaying a pin of selected address on an integrated map is shown. This map will also show any catchment areas / map boundaries that the student falls into and meets the criteria. See “Map Group” for more information on boundary criteria.

Show All Schools if No Matching Boundary

The default behavior of this element is that the School Dropdown linked as the output in the “Map Group” setting will only show schools that match the student falls into and meets the criteria for. This means that if the student does not match any boundaries, the School Dropdown will be empty. When this setting is checked, all valid schools will be shown if no boundary is matched.

Address Autocomplete Mapping (House Field, Address Field, City Field, Province Field, Postal Field)

This links the address autocomplete output to split the individual segments of an address into their respective fields on the form, as well as telling the form to group these fields together. Which of these five fields is used will depend on the data-set provided to Intellimedia for integration, so please confirm the configuration with Intellimedia and/or your transportation department before setup.

Map Group

This button will open a supplemental window that will be used to setup the rules for matching addresses to boundaries. Prior to using this function, you will need to import GIS Geography files. Please see Map Areas for more information.

Within the window, the following settings are available:

Map Group
This allows you to choose what set of boundary files should be set as options for this address field.

Inputs
Adds an additional column to the below table, which is used to add conditions for when boundaries are valid for a given student. Some examples for these inputs would be the grade and program selected for the student.

Outputs
The School Dropdowns which the filtered output of matching rows in the below table will be feed into.

Hide if Override
If a parent chooses to skip autocomplete and manually enter their address, these output fields will be hidden.

Data Table

Below these settings is a table with input and output columns. The column “Area” specifies the name of a boundary as specified in the data provided to SchoolEngage by your division’s transportation or planning department. This can be used to configure rules for when certain boundaries are valid, such as narrowing special program boundaries down to only that program.

Payments

Overview

The payment field lets applicants start a payment transaction with a payment provider. This field connects to an existing payment item setup in the Payments section of SchoolEngage. The prime functionality of this field is that it allows for custom amounts to override for a specific payment item, which allows a greater degree of flexibility on forms. Whatever value is entered into this field, will be the amount charged to the user.

Subtotal

Overview

The subtotal field lets applicants have a sum of values that is visible to the user. This field connects to existing Text Entry fields. The prime functionality of this field is that it allows for summing of fields to display without any custom scriptingThe Rich Text Field allows users to enter and format multi-line text using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. It supports common formatting options such as bold, italics, bullet lists, hyperlinks, and more. This field is ideal for capturing detailed narratives, descriptions, or notes where enhanced text formatting improves readability or presentation. The content is saved as HTML and can be rendered with full styling in form views and reports.

  • Some examples of its use include survey responses, field trip descriptions, or fields where applicants are asked to describe themselves when applying to a program.
