Prior to enabling the integrated school and student ID fields, it is recommended that you reach out to the Client Success Team to discuss this option. If you are in the implementation stage, reach out to your Implementation Specialist.
Integrated School and Student ID Fields provides an overview on the integrated school and student ID feature.
In order to utilize the integrated school and student ID feature between CommunitySuite and Scholarship Lifecycle Manager (SLM), the payee (school) and student ID fields need to be added to at least one follow up form in SLM. If you plan to collect this information using more than one follow up form, you can add the fields to as many forms as needed. For example, with a renewable scholarship you might assign a new follow up form each year to scholarship recipients, checking for any changes to the school they are attending.
Before adding payee fields in SLM, at least one grantee profile must be set as a school in CommunitySuite. Set Grantees as Schools provides information on how to set a grantee profile as a school in CommunitySuite.
At this time, adding the payee fields adds all of the fields listed below to the form. You can only add payee fields to a form that has not yet been used.
- Payee - This is the drop-down list question containing all profiles set as schools in CommunitySuite.
- This field integrates with CommunitySuite.
- If a scholarship recipient selects the "Other" option, you will need to manually create the appropriate school profile in CommunitySuite. Consider using question branching to have the additional payee fields listed below appear if Other is selected to help you collect the school's information.
- Student ID
- This field integrates with CommunitySuite.
- Payee Name
- Payee Address 1
- Payee Address 2
- Payee City
- Payee State
- Payee Postal Code
- Payee Country
- Payee EIN / Tax ID
- Payee Web Site
- Payee Email
- Payee Telephone Number
- Payee Fax Number
It is not possible to delete individual payee fields. It is recommended that two groups are used to sort the fields for visibility.
- Drag and drop the non-integrated fields to a separate group on the form with administrator visibility only set to hide the fields from applicants.
- If those are the only fields in that question group, the entire group will be hidden from applicants and you can keep the form organized.
- Drag and drop the specific fields for applicants into the desired place on the form and change the visibility and required type for those fields.
- Branching logic can be configured for applicants to fill out these fields if they cannot find their school in the drop-down integrated payee list.
- Question labels can be changed, and instructions can be added.
Only the Payee and Student ID fields integrate with CommunitySuite. Schools must be configured in CommunitySuite in order to be available as list options in the Payee field.
