Easily Convert Paper Forms to Electronic Forms

With 11 forms per student it took 30 minutes for school staff to enter all the information. Electronic forms cut the time per student to just 1 minute.
​
And with easy integration into Power School, all systems were up to date.

Forms and Workflow
Electronic forms can replace most, if not all, of your current paper forms. the easy-to-use dynamic forms designer lets you replicate and enhance your current forms with no coding necessary. Plus, they can integrate with your current systems so you don't have to enter the same information across forms, it can be pre-populated.
Example - Change of Major/Minor
-
Change of Major/Minor mimics existing paper form
-
Student fills out the necessary information which is then saved to the repository
-
Students are prevented from submitting form until all required fields are complete
-
Student information can be pulled form your SIS and pre-populated, preventing errors
-
A timer can be set so if form is not completed within stipulated timeframe, a reminder is sent to the employee/HR specialist
Example - Change of Major/Minor Workflow
-
Once the student submits the request, it is sent to the Registrar's Office for processing and review. From there, it could be sent for further approval by faculty advisors or college deans, depending on the type of request. Once approved, the form is saved in the repository.
