Why This Feature?
Your school may be using a mix of online forms. Some forms might be created with School Signals, while some forms might be created with Google, Microsoft, or some other form creation software. From the parent's point of view, finding ALL online forms in one place, regardless of the "type" of form, is most important.
How to Add External Form Links
In School Signals, you can add links to external online forms, and automatically display them under Online Forms.
Here are the steps.
Go to Online Forms > Forms Mgmt > External Form Links
Click the Add Form Link button.
Select the form's intended audience.
Add the form's URL. The link will open in a new tab.
