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

• Show New Application block - controls the visibility of the New Application block on the landing page
  

  

• Show New Application button - controls the visibility of the New Application button on the New Application block
  Note: Schools usually disable this after the deadline for applications.
  

  

• New application title - allows you to change the title on the Application Block
  

  

• Description - allows you to put a short message or instructions on the New Application block
  

  

• Button text for new application button (For only Students) - this allows you to change the text on the New Application button (as indicated, it is only applicable when you set the form to accept applications from students only)
  

  

  
  

  

• Button text for go to event page - when you create events, they can be made visible on the landing page and will have a register button if you allow parents/students to register for them; this is where you can change the text on the register button
  

  

• Tooltip text when disabling new application button - when you decide to disable the New Application button (after the deadline for applications), the New Application button will be grayed out and parents/students will see whatever message you put in this field
  

  

Popup Message on landing page

You may set a popup message on the landing page by enabling this feature and putting in the message. Schools usually use this for important announcements that they don't want parents/students to miss

General Settings

• Header message - whatever you put here will appear on the Student Homepage message

• Main Image - this is where you may upload the photo that will serve as the background image of your landing page
• Logo Left - this is where you may upload a logo that will be positioned on the left side of the landing page
• Logo Right - this is where you may upload a logo that will be positioned on the right side of the landing page, perhaps the MAT logo if you have one
• Note: click on the Choose File button and select your photo

Show School Name - you have the option to show the name of your school on the landing page by enabling this feature

Note: you also get to decide where you want it to be positioned

• Use this customisation - if you want to customise the school name that shows on the landing page, enable this feature and customise it in the text area
  Note: make sure that the Show School Name feature is disabled
