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.
