A blue info banner inside the step confirms: Using Enrollment Template - all standard sections will be pre-loaded.

Step 3: Form Window
A Form Window controls when and where your form is available to parents. Choose one of two options:
Skip for now
- Configure windows later in Form Settings
- A form cannot be published until at least one window is configured
Add Enrollment Window
Select this option to configure the window now:

Understanding Field Types vs. Surveys
When building a form, you can add field types and surveys within any section. These are distinct architectural components:
- Field Types: Individual, reusable form inputs that can be placed directly into a section. Each field type appears as a standalone input in the form (e.g., a text box, date picker, or checkbox).
- Surveys: Section-bound containers that group related questions together. Surveys function as sub-sections within a form section and can hold their own array of field types internally. Surveys are useful for organizing logically related fields or enabling conditional logic between groups of fields.
The choice depends on your form structure: use field types for independent inputs, and surveys when you need to group, organize, or enable conditional visibility across related fields.
Working with Sections
- Toggle section visibility on or off using the switch
- Reorder sections by dragging or using the up and down arrows
- Expand or collapse sections to show or hide fields from view
- Edit section title and description inline
- Add new sections using the Add Section button
Working with Fields
- Drag fields from the palette into any section
- Click a field to open its properties panel, where you can configure the label, required status, and tooltip
- Reorder fields within a section by dragging
- Delete fields with the trash icon
Conditional Questions
Conditional questions allow certain fields to appear or hide based on a parent's response to a previous question. This keeps forms concise by showing only the questions relevant to each family's situation.
When a supported field is selected, a Conditional Questions toggle appears in the field's properties panel. Enabling it lets you specify a trigger response — the answer that reveals one or more follow-up questions directly beneath it. You can add an unlimited number of follow-up questions to a single trigger response, but follow-up questions cannot themselves trigger additional questions (one level only).
Field Type Compatibility: Not all field types can serve as condition triggers or conditional children. The table below shows which field types support conditional logic:
| Field Type | Can Trigger a Condition? | Can Be Conditional? |
|---|---|---|
| Text Input, Email, Phone, Comment Box, Date | Yes | Yes |
| Dropdown, Radio Buttons, Checkbox | Yes | Yes |
| Grade Field, Program Field | Yes | No |
| Address, Electronic Signature, File Upload | No | No |
| Document Acknowledgement, School Selection, Informational Text | No | No |
Using Surveys with Conditional Questions
When you enable conditional logic on a field type that supports conditions, you can add a survey containing the conditional child fields. Each field type can have only one survey assigned as a conditional child. Once you add a survey to a conditional parent field, the option to add a second survey is removed.
To configure a conditional question:
- Click the field you want to serve as the trigger.
- In the properties panel, enable the Conditional Questions toggle.
- Select the trigger response — the specific answer that will reveal the follow-up questions.
- Add one or more follow-up questions beneath the original. There is no limit to how many you can add.
- Preview the form to verify the follow-up questions appear and behave as expected.

Form Translations ↑
To access translations, locate the form on the Forms page, click the 3-dot (ellipsis) menu at the end of its row (or card, in grid view), and select Translations.
Supported Languages
Form Translations supports the following seven languages. English is the default. Your district administrator controls which of these are enabled for your tenant — only the enabled languages appear in the language selector inside the Translations dialog.
| Language | Native Name | Text Direction |
|---|---|---|
| English (default) | English | Left-to-right |
| Spanish | Español | Left-to-right |
| Vietnamese | Tiếng Việt | Left-to-right |
| Chinese | 中文 | Left-to-right |
| Korean | 한국어 | Left-to-right |
| Armenian | Հայերեն | Left-to-right |
| Arabic | العربية | Right-to-left |
What Can Be Translated
- Section titles and descriptions
- Field labels, descriptions (tooltips), and placeholders
- Dropdown and checkbox options
- Survey group content
Translation Features
- Manual translation input
- Translation progress tracking per language — this does not need to reach 100%; it is simply a reference to confirm all fields and answer options have been addressed
- Preview translations before saving
- Right-to-left support for Arabic
- AI-powered Auto Translate action (see below)
Auto Translate
The Auto Translate button uses AI to translate every untranslated field for the selected language in one action. This is useful for filling in a new language quickly so you can then review and fine-tune the results, rather than typing each translation by hand.
To use Auto Translate:
- Open the Translations dialog for the form.
- Select the language you want to translate into.
- Click Auto Translate in the top-right of the dialog.
- The button changes to Stop Translating while the AI works through each field. You can click it to stop early if needed.
- When the translation completes, review each field for accuracy and click Save.
When translated content is presented (in the admin dialog and in the parent-facing form), an inline AI translation notice appears: Generated by AI. Be sure to check for accuracy.
Deleting a Language's Translations
To remove all translations for a language, click the trash icon next to the language selector and confirm in the Delete Translation? dialog. This permanently deletes every translation for that language; the original language content is not affected.

Form Preview ↑
To access Preview, either:
- From the Forms page, locate the form, click the 3-dot (ellipsis) menu, and select Preview.
- While editing a form, click the Preview button in the top bar of the form builder.
What You See
- An exact, interactive representation of how parents will see and experience the form
- All sections and fields rendered
- Branding elements displayed based on settings
- Multi-step navigation if applicable

Best Practices ↑
| Goal | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Accurate grade and program options | Configure enrollment windows before building out your form — Grade Level and Program fields display options based on window configuration |
| Quality assurance | Always use Preview before publishing to check how the form looks and behaves for parents |
| Conditional questions | Always preview the form after configuring conditional logic to verify follow-up questions appear and behave as expected. For Dropdown, Radio, Checkbox, Survey, and Preferred School triggers, you select the trigger response from existing options. For Text triggers, the response must match exactly what the parent will type — including spelling and capitalization — so use Text triggers sparingly when conditional logic is critical |
| Multilingual families | Identify which of the seven supported languages are spoken by your school community and ask your district administrator to enable them in your tenant. Set up translations for those languages before publishing |
| AI translations review | Auto Translate is a starting point, not a final product. Always have a fluent speaker of each language review every translated field for accuracy, tone, and cultural appropriateness — especially for consent language, eligibility statements, and anything with legal weight |
| Reuse across school years | Use the Duplicate action to copy a previous year's form. The dialog asks you to choose a new name and the new school year for the copy. All fields, settings, and translations carry over — you only need to update the window dates and any school-year-specific content |
| Record keeping | Archive old forms to preserve records and historical data. Archived forms move to the Archived tab on the Forms page and can be restored at any time with Unarchive |
