The Form Templates are at the heart of EdSmart. You can have as many templates as you like, and completely customise the fields on the Form to your requirements. This article describes the many field variations and options available to you.

There are eight 11 types of fields available:

  1. Human Body - a human body outline, front and back views.
  2. Long Description - a mini word processor where you can style the font, size and colour of the text, embed URL links, or just paste it in from another document.
  3. Text Field - a single line text field.
  4. CheckBox List - a group of one or more checkboxes, where the user can select one or more of the options. You can have as many options as you wish.
  5. Option List - a drop-down list of one or more options, where the user can select one option. Like the checkboxes, you can have as many options as you like.
  6. Read Only Text Block - a large formatted text field that will display as read-only text to users, great for explanatory text, notes, instructions and other information.
  7. Date Field - select a date from a calendar (day, month and year).
  8. Venue Address - these work just like a normal Text Field but, if you enter a valid address, a Google Map will be created and displayed in the Form.
  9. File Upload (Parent/Student Slips Only) - this field allows Parents/Students to upload attachments to Slips before submitting the Form. Read more here.
  10. Student Attributes Field - user-defined fields of information you wish to maintain about a Student.
  11. Contact Attributes Field - user-defined fields of information you wish to maintain about a Contact.


There are different fields, and different numbers of each field available, available depending on whether you are in the School section or the Parent/Student section of your Form design. All of the field types, except for the Human Body and Attributes, allow for additional customisation. For example, when you edit a Venue Address or Text Field you will find a number of options:

...

  • Long Description (x8)
  • Text Field (x47)
  • CheckBox List (x16)
  • Option List (x66)
  • Read Only Text Block (x15)
  • Date Field (x10)
  • File Upload (x1)
  • Student Attribute (set by School)
  • Contact Attribute (set by School)


Parent/Student fields are very similar to School fields, but you have an additional option for Default.
