With the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment Plug-in, you can process the data from your Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment forms. When a website user saves a form on your website, the program stores the data in the website’s database. When the user submits the form, the program sends the data to the plug-in, where you can edit it as necessary. You can also search for matching records in The Education Edge for applicants and relationships. When you are satisfied with the data, you can process the form to create and update records in the Admissions Office section of The Education Edge.
From the plug-in, you can also quickly access and manage your online forms, print or access form data, and review payments made through online forms. For more information about how to manage forms, see Forms on page 1.
Warning: As an added security measure for hosted Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment users, we removed the embedded Blackbaud NetCommunity links from the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment Plug-in in The Education Edge. We removed the links because users could manipulate the URL of the embedded links and potentially access unauthorized external sites and harmful content. You can still access the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment links in Blackbaud NetCommunity Forms.
To determine where to store data in The Education Edge, the plug-in uses the mapping schema for the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment form types. For information about the field mappings between the forms and The Education Edge, see Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment Field Mapping.
Before you update the plug-in, we recommend you process all the data from your forms. If you do not, you may receive an error the next time you open the plug-in after the upgrade.
Note: To install the Online Admissions and Online Reenrollment Plug-in, you must select the appropriate options to install Online Admissions when you install or update Blackbaud NetCommunity. For information about the installation, see the Infinity Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide.
