Profile Field Mapping for Lead Student and Lead Parent

Name Update

Profile field mapping was previously referred to as custom fields.

Profile fields are a valuable tool for collecting and tracking key information about leads and students. Profile fields created for both Lead Students and Lead Parents can be linked to student profile fields, automatically syncing data when a lead converts to an enrolled student. Profile field mapping occurs once during enrollment, eliminating manual data entry and streamlining the registration process to save time for users.

Staff members with the appropriate permissions can create and manage profile fields under school settings. See: Staff Roles and Permissions for more information.

  4. You will then see two options:

    • Link to an Existing Profile Field: This will show any profile fields in the same format (e.g., checkbox, dropdown, short answer) for you to select from.

Transferring Profile Fields

Profile fields marked for transfer will automatically move to the Student profile upon enrollment.

Field Location Transfer Location
Lead Student Student
Lead Parent Parent

Note: This is a one-time transfer. Any changes made to the Lead profile after enrollment will not automatically update the Student profile.

In School Settings > Settings > Profile Fields, the "Transferred To" column indicates if a profile field will be automatically transferred to the Student or Parent profile upon enrollment. If the field is blank, it will not be transferred. You also have the option to edit or delete profile fields as needed.
