I see documents can be required as part of the application process.
Can I also make supplemental documents available either as part of or after the application is accepted (e.g. Policy, Rules and Regulations, etc?)
What about a file/document repository for a parents, public?
Thanks
Hi Tieku, in the Application Form Settings (Admin > User Admin), you can use the Introduction and Postscript settings to add custom text. These can include links to your files.
For a file/document repository, the closest thing is the Policies module (see our Extend section). You could change the name using String Replacement (Admin > System Admin). Links to files uploaded here could then be included in your intro and postscript in the application.
Gibbon does currently lack a unified file manage. This is something I hope we’ll address in the coming versions.
Thanks! Ross
Hi Tieku,
Check out the additional modules on the Extend page: https://gibbonedu.org/extend/
There is a module called Policies which allows you to upload files and make them available to certain role categories (student, parent, staff, etc).
There is also an Info Grid module which adds a tab to the dashboard, and is useful for both documents and links that you want to ensure they’re easy to find by staff, students, and parents.
@admin Oops, seems we’ve overlapped with some of our forum replies :lol:
With the Policies module, what’s the significance of the scope of the policy (school, department)? Initially I thought I could use that to limit access to members of that department, but I find access is still controlled by the Audience selection.
Hi Tieku,
It looks like it’s not used for permission, just for organizational purposes, so school policies are listed together, and department policies are listed together with the department.
