FST (Family Signup Tool) Dos and Don'ts

Instructions for using FST successfully

Dos:

• Always try to format the FST as close to the original form/application as possible
• Always check your work through the "Preview" screen and using the FST url (live)
• If the dropdown is required, the first selection must have a "-"
• Use Grammarly to check spelling and punctuation.
• Make the first parent signature or initials required

Don'ts:

• Once the content is created under a specified header, it cannot be moved under a different header
• Always make sure the order in which you are entering information is correct
• Do not make any text area "read-only" boxes required
• Do not duplicate existing required parent or student information (ex. Parent name, email)
• When adding a dropdown, do not add tag fields unless specifically requested
• Do not add a "date" field when adding a signature. All signatures are automatically time stamped.
