Require Race – Enable/Disables requiring selecting the Race of the student. The question still displays to the Parent. 


Supplemental Questions

Supplemental Questions can be added for Parents to answer as a way to capture answers normally given in paper form in addition to the traditional enrollment paperwork. Each question is mapped to a destination table and field in Aeries Web. The current destination tables available to store answers are STU and SUP.  

The codes that are set up in the Admin Online Enrollment must match the code value and length that is in the Aeries Code table (COD) for the corresponding STU or SUP field.


For example, field STU.U11 in the Aeries Web is used to store a dropdown of choices with codes A, B, and R. The Online Enrollment side must also set up with the same codes values of A, B, and R to match.

 


NOTE: The Code field found in the 'Edit choices' popup in Online Enrollment does not limit the amount of characters entered and will not validate against the character limit set for the STU or SUP fields in the COD table of Aeries Web. Failure to match the codes in both areas will cause student records from Online Enrollment to fail during the Student Import process. 


To assist with verifying the field length of each field, use the Database Table Information report in Aeries Web to determine the character length that is acceptable as a code value for the STU or SUP table fields.



Using the Length/Digits column, you will be able to determine the appropriate code value length that can be added to the fields to store codes for the parent responses. 


To enable the system ask Supplemental Questions, set the Ask Supplemental Questions field to Yes.


Filter by Questions can be used to view active (enabled) or inactive (disabled) questions. Questions that have responses will not have a 'Delete' link and can only be disabled.


Supplemental Questions options


To add a Supplemental Question, click on the Table drop down and select either STU or SUP

  • Field- The field you would like the response to populate.
  • Question - Type in the Supplemental Question you would like to ask.
  • Type -YesNo or Dropdown
  • YesNo option requires a Yes or No response to the question.
  • Dropdown - Multiple choice response to be selected. After choosing Dropdown from the Type field, click on the Add button. An Edit Choices link now displays.


Edit choices link


Click on Edit Choices button to add in answers for the Parent to select. The Codes and descriptions that are entered must match what is in the Aeries Web Code Table (COD) for the specified table and field.


Type in the Code and description and then click on the Add button.



Once your Supplemental Questions are entered, you can use the options to the right of the question to do the following:

  • Up/Down – Change the order of the questions asked.
  • Edit – Edit the question. Question Type cannot be edited. Delete and re add the question.
  • Disable – Disable the question. This option is useful to “retire” a question that is no longer in use but that have existing enrollments that reference the question.
  • Delete – Deletes the question. Questions cannot be deleted if they are referenced in an enrollment.


After you make your selection click on the Save All Questions and Codes button.


NOTE: If an enabled code in Online Enrollment is deleted from the COD table in Aeries Web, it is not automatically deleted from the Questions and Codes area in the Admin side of Online Enrollment. The code can be removed by clicking on the Delete link next to the appropriate code or simply disable the code by clicking the 'Disable' link.


Admin Users

The Admin Users area is where you can create additional Administrator logins for the Online Enrollment configuration.



To add a new Admin user, type the username in the box and then click Add button.



NOTE: All new administrator logins default to this password. The first time the new Admin account logs into the Admin module using the password shown in this setting, they must set a new password.


After a user name has been created, it shows under the Admin Users tab. There is an Edit and Delete option next to it.


School Settings

The School Settings tab is used to designate which Schools are available for Parents to select for enrollment. The available schools in the Select School to Add drop down list come from the LOC table.


Online Enrollment allows for enrollment into Schools and Programs

A School is a typical school in Aeries with a fixed grade range.  

A Program is non-grade specific. If Programs are enabled they appear as available options in the early stage of enrollment. 

When enrolling, users have the option of enrolling a Student for either a Grade or a program. Programs are optional and are not required to be configured for Aeries Online Enrollment.

School Settings tab

 

To add a School, under the Schools Enabled For Enrollment area, click on the Select School to Add drop down list and select a school. 


School selection list


Once a school is selected you can provide an Email address that Online Enrollment uses to send an email notification when a Parent completes an enrollment. The email notification is dependent on the email settings being configured correctly on the Basic Settings tab.  Multiple comma-separated emails may be entered, but no space between addresses.


Email address for recipients of enrollment notifications


Once a School has been enabled, it can be removed using the Delete button. If deleted, the only way to enable the school again is to re-add it.


To add a Program, follow the same steps above for adding a School. If a Program is defined, it shows as a School name choice for the Parent instead of a Grade level. In addition, it also bypasses any Street validation and allows the Parent to enter any address. Additionally, the Grade level is defined as Grade 99



Program showing up as a Grade Level choice


NOTE: For Districts that allow enrollment in Programs, a new grade level 99 has to be added to the COD table in Aeries Web so that grade 99 appears in the Grades tab and can be selected so that the Documents show up during the enrollment process. The SQL statement below inserts the grade level for you. The Description (DE) of 'Online  Enrollment Program'  can be changed to the name of your Program.

See Documents step above for steps to ensure enrollment Documents are visible to these enrollments.

Document Upload

The Document Upload tab is to configure the Categories of documents you want the Parent to provide during the enrollment process.


Document Upload tab 


The Allowed File Types is used to prevent Parents from uploading unwanted file types. Only files IN this list can be uploaded.  You may add more file types using the .xxx format separated by commas.  Max file size is 4mb, otherwise the file upload fails for the Parent.


Note: if the file uploaded is a HEIC or HEIF file (default iPhone picture format) it is automatically converted to .jpg format

Allowed file types list


The File Requests section is where you define the Files you would like Parents to provide.  

File requests section


  • Category/Subcategory are defined in Update Code Table > DOC.CT and DOC.SCT.  These categories have no effect on the page display to the Parent and do not organize the Documents in any way.  They are fields that are imported into the Category and Subcategory fields in Student Documents.  See the Student Documents for more information
  • Required prevents the Parent from continuing unless a document is provided.  Parents may upload multiple Documents per Request.  
  • Security Area defines the table to which Users need at least Read permissions to be able to view those Documents in Student Documents.  See the Student Documents for more information
  • Title is what displays to Parents as the type of document requested.  
  • Description can be used to give instructions to Parents, such as "For Proof of Residency you may upload a Utility Bill, Cable Service Bill, Lease or other Document that verifies your Residence Address".

Add District Logo

Aeries Online Enrollment allows for a District Logo to be added that displays on the right-hand side of the enrollment pages.


A virtual directory needs to be created to store the District Logo. This folder should reside outside of the main Online Enrollment folder that contains the website. This setup makes upgrading to new versions of Online Enrollment easier as any custom images reside outside of the application folder. 

The first step is to create an App Settings folder. The default location is c:\AppSettings. Once the folder is created, you can copy the logo into this folder.


The District Logo should be 80 x 80 pixels and should be in PNG format. It should be named DistrictLogo.PNG. The logo should contain an alpha transparency background for optimal display. If it does not support a transparent background, double check to see how it displays in Online Enrollment prior to use. Some color adjustments may be necessary for optimal display.


Once the District Logo is copied into this folder, open Internet Information Services and right click the folder where Online Enrollment is installed and select Add Virtual Directory. Enter AppSettings as the alias. In the physical path folder, select the folder you created (c:\AppSettings) and click OK.
