# Admission forms

> Customize your inquiry and student forms, then share them with parents through a public link or embed

Admission forms are the public pages parents fill in to apply to your school. Every organization has exactly two forms. The **Forms** list tags each one as an **Inquiry form** or an **Application form** and says where its responses land.

| Form | Use it for | Responses land in |
| - | - | - |
| **Inquiry Form** | A quick intake for families still deciding: student full name, parent or guardian email and phone, and intake year | [Inquiries](https://docs.relyant.app/edu/admission/inquiries.md) |
| **Student Form** | A full application with **Guardian Information** and **Student Information** sections, including date of birth, gender, **Grade Applying For**, and **Intake Year** | [Applications](https://docs.relyant.app/edu/admission/applications.md), as **Applied** |

> [!NOTE]
>
> Forms are part of the **Admission** feature, which your organization must turn on. You need student update permission to save changes to a form.

## Edit a form

**1. Open the form**

In the left rail, click **Admission**, then **Forms**. Click the form you want to change. The editor has **Details**, **Questions**, and **Documents** tabs, with a preview beside them.

**2. Set the details**

On the **Details** tab, set the form's **Name** and **Description**. The description is rich text, so you can format it with the editor toolbar. It shows under the name on the form and in the link preview when you share it. See [Page design](#page-design) for the logo, banner, and background.

**3. Adjust the built-in questions**

On the **Questions** tab, click a **Built-in** question to rename it, add a placeholder or help text, toggle **Required**, or turn off **Show on form**. Questions marked **Built-in · always on** can't be hidden.

**4. Add your own questions**

Click a question type under **Add a question** to add it to the **Additional Information** section. Then set its label, options, help text, and whether it's **Required**. Drag questions to reorder them.

Changes save automatically. The top bar shows **Saving…** and then **Saved**.

### Built-in questions

Each form collects the student's name in one field instead of separate first and last names: **Student Full Name** on the Inquiry Form, and **Full Name** under **Student Information** on the Student Form. The Student Form also collects the guardian's **Full Name**. Names and the parent email are always required. On the inquiry or application, the **Student** card shows the **Full name**.

The **Intake Year** question lets families pick the academic year the child would start. It lists your school's current and upcoming years. It's optional, and you can make it required or hide it like other built-in questions. Staff can change the intake year later in the **Pipeline** card of the inquiry or application. The [Admission overview](https://docs.relyant.app/edu/admission/overview.md) counts open records by intake year.

### Help text

Every question, built-in or your own, has an optional **Help text under the answer (optional)** box. Parents see the help text below that question on the form.

### How did you hear about us?

Both forms have a built-in **How did you hear about us?** question. Families pick an answer such as **Friend or family**, **A current parent**, **Search engine (e.g. Google)**, **Social media**, **Open day or school event**, **School website**, **Advertisement**, or **Other**. The answer shows in the **Source** card on the inquiry or application, and you can filter by it. Hide the question if you don't need it.

### Document checklist

On the **Documents** tab, click **Add document** for each document you collect, such as a birth certificate or last school report. For each one, set the **Document name**, an optional **Hint**, whether it's **Required**, and which grades it applies to. Leave every grade unticked to apply it to all grades. Documents without a name aren't shown on records.

Staff then track each document on the inquiry or application. Required documents must be verified or waived before an offer. See [Applications](https://docs.relyant.app/edu/admission/applications.md#collect-documents).

### Input types

**Short answer**, **Long answer**, **Multiple select**, **Single select**, **Date**, **Phone number**, **Email**, **Number**, **Link**, **Signature**, and **File upload**. For select inputs, enter **Options (one per line)**. For file uploads, choose the **Accepted files** and a **Max size** of up to 10 MB.

## Page design

The **Details** tab also controls how the form looks and behaves:

* **Accepting responses** — turn this off to close the form. Parents who open the link see that the form isn't available. Your questions are kept.
* **Page colour** — colours the title, section headers, and **Submit** button.
* **Logo** — shown at the top of the form, above its name. A PNG with a transparent background works best.
* **Page banner** — a header image across the top of the form page, also used in its link preview. Use PNG, JPEG, or WebP, at least 1600 × 400. Once you add a banner, choose a **Banner height**: **Short**, **Medium**, or **Tall** crop the image to the centre, and **Whole image** shows all of it.
* **Background image** — fills the page behind the form, with the questions on white cards. It isn't shown when the form is embedded on your website.
* **Welcome message** — optional text shown above the questions.
* **After submitting** — choose **Show a message** (a thank-you on the form page) or **Go to a web page**, such as a thank-you page on your website. The link must start with `https://`.
* **Submit button** — the text on the submit button.

## Share the form

Each form has a public link at `/apply/<form-id>` on your Education site. Parents don't need an account to submit it. Click **Share** in the form editor to open **Share form**:

* **Copy** — copy the public link.
* **QR code** — show a QR code for the form and download it as a PNG.
* **Embed** — put the form on your school website. See [Embed the form](#embed-the-form).
* **Campaign link** — make a tagged link for each post, email, or flyer. See [Campaign links](#campaign-links).
* **Open** — view the public page.

### Embed the form

In **Embed on your website**, click **Copy embed code** and paste it where the form should appear. The embedded form sizes itself to fit, and each inquiry records which page and campaign it came from. If your site builder removes scripts, click **Copy iframe code** instead.

The dialog has steps for WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. If someone else runs your website, click **Copy instructions** and send them the code and steps.

### Campaign links

In **Campaign link**, pick a preset, such as **Instagram**, **Facebook**, **WhatsApp**, **Newsletter**, **Printed flyer (QR)**, or **Google Ads**, or fill in **Source**, **Medium**, **Campaign**, **Content**, and **Term** yourself. Then click **Copy link** or **QR code**.

Each inquiry from that link shows its source and campaign. You can filter inquiries and applications by **Campaign** and **UTM source**. An embedded form also picks up the tags on your school's page, so a campaign link to your website works too.

> [!TIP]
>
> The **Forms** list shows whether each form is **Active** or **Inactive**. Click the open icon on a row to view the public page.

## What parents see

The public page shows your logo, banner, name, description, welcome message, and questions, with any help text under each question. Required fields are checked before submission, and uploads must finish first. Parents may need to complete a short security check, which helps keep spam out. After submitting, parents see **Submitted Successfully** with your message, or they're sent to your redirect URL. If you didn't set a message, they see "Your inquiry has been received. We will be in touch soon."

Parents also get a receipt email that repeats your message. Staff who can enroll students get a **New inquiry or application** notification.
