A school has a question about student applications. Your thoughts and/or suggestions?
We would like to add “Cancelled” as an option in the “Status” drop down menu. We need to differentiate between applications that are cancelled (parent does not reply to our emails / calls to proceed with the application or the parent cancels their child’s application) and withdrawn (parent registers their child but ends up withdrawing their application and the child doesn’t start school).
Hi @tiekubd This would be a pretty specific school-related context, and adding new statuses adds complexity to the system without necessarily adding functionality. My recommendation would be to use the Notes section in the application form to differentiate these, which should be sufficient.
That sounds like a solid solution. And since they want to track the values and count of these custom status entries, they can achieve this effectively using an SQL query.
