How To Configure Landing Page

This guide will show how you can customise your landing page.

Click on Settings > Form Settings > Landing Page

The Configuration Mode section allows you to select how you accept applications.

Only students can register - for Year 12
Students & Parents can register - some schools use this for Year 12
Students and parents must be imported by staff - Primary & Year 7 (sometimes used for In-Year applications if the school gets a list of students from the Local Authority)
Only parents can register - In-Year applications
New Application area hidden completely - the New Application block will not be visible on the landing page (schools select this when they are no longer accepting applications)

The Landing Page section has 3 sub-sections and you may customise them by clicking on the Edit button.

Note: Just beside this section, you see a preview of your landing page.

Customise Texts & Buttons
