Current Status Field

The Current Status field appears in the Application field set that is a subset of the Applicant field set on Online Admissions forms. This field maps to the Current status field on the Applications tab of an applicant record in The Education Edge. When you create an applicant record in The Education Edge, the program requires an entry in the Current status field. Therefore, you must include the corresponding Current Status field on the Online Admissions form.

The field properties for this field include an extra option that does not appear for Common fields.

Custom CSS class

To override the default Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) format of the page where the form appears, enter a custom CSS class.

For information about style sheets, see Style Sheets.

Include in export

To include the field when you export data that users submit on the form, select Include in export. To exclude it when you export, clear the checkbox.

Options, Selections

In the Options box, select statuses to apply to the application and click Add. The statuses appear in the Selections box. The statuses associate tracks and checklist items with the form. For multiple statuses, the values are applied sequentially in the order you select them, so the form will reflect the last status you select. For example, if you add the Inquiry status and then the Applied status, the Status field in The Education Edge will display the Applied status. In the Selections box, the last status added to the form appears at the bottom of the list.
