The BIG Registration Screen

in
This screen is meant to be a one-stop-shop for all the common data collected for a student when they register.  Having all the fields in a single screen can help dramatically reduce the time and complexity of doing registration. You may also find that having one screen to collect info instead of dozen will help cut down on missing or incorrectly formatted student data.

Features:

  • There is a great deal of Illinois state specific fields involved in this registration screen. All of these fields have been put on a separate page (reg_sis_info.html) and then linked to the main page via the insert code (~[x:insertfile;reg_sis_info.html]). So for districts outside of Illinois simply delete the insert code from the registration.html page, or alter the reg_sis_info.html page with your own state fields.
  • The top left of the registration page contains links which will "jump to" specific sections to save on scrolling.  In addition each section header has up/down arrows which will jump to the top/bottom of the page.
  • The top right of the page contains two helper links, "Enrollment Notes" and "Reveal Field Names."  The Enrollment Notes link will open a new window containing information which may help in filling out registration info such as graduation years by grade level. The Reveal Field Names link will open a new window illustrating... names of the fields on the registration page.  Makes for easy searching.
  • There is a javascript which will check that the home phone and date of birth fields are formatted correctly before submitting the page (XXX-XXX-XXXX and mm/dd/yyyy respectively). An error will popup if they are not so. You may add additional fields to check by adding more lines to the javascript in the header. There is an commented out example to follow.
  • The "copy to mailing" button is a javascript which just copies all the home address fields to the mailing address fields.  And the "map" links next to each address field opens a new window showing said address on Google maps.

Installation: 

  1. Download and unzip the registrationv2.zip file.
  2. Copy all the pages and images to powerschool folder/data/custom/web_root/admin/student/   on your server. I highly suggest loading the pages to a test server first.
  3. If you wish to use the screen on a full time bases, I would suggest creating a link to the registration.html page in "more2.html" (which is really the left student navigation frame).
