Blocks contain the groups of fields that prospective families need to complete. For example, the “Schools” block contains all of the fields that pertain to the prospective student’s current and previous school information.
Admission managers can choose to display multiple instances of a block within a section. For example, a school may want to display two “Household” blocks. If the Admission manager does not add multiple blocks, prospective families can also use Add Another if they need additional blocks. The same fields (and required fields) from the original block appear in the additional block.
In order for families to utilize the “Add Another”, an Admission manager must select “Block Settings” of the respective block, and choose to “Allow Add Another”.
The following blocks support multiple entries by a prospective family: Household and Referred By.

To add a block to a section, select the name of the section to which the block should be added. From the left-hand column, drag and drop the appropriate block(s) into the section. Newly added blocks will appear at the bottom of the section; blocks can be reordered at any time by dragging and dropping them around the form. Each block can only be used in one section. If the block has already been used, it will be grayed out in the left-hand column. Hover your cursor over the block name to see in which section the block is used.

To remove blocks from a section, select either "Remove Block" or "Block Settings" (depending on the block). After selecting "Remove Block," select "Confirm." Or after selecting "Block Settings," select "Delete" and then "Confirm."
