Field Descriptions
School Name
Enter your school's name here. This will be displayed on the parent end in the list of schools on the left and in the panel that opens when your school is selected.
School Information Snippet
This information is displayed in the school profile panel when a school is selected on the Explore Schools page.
Good to know:
- 500 character limit. Keep an eye on your text; there is no warning to let you know when you exceed 500, the box will just cut off your text.
- This area doesn't support emojis.
- This area doesn't recognize page breaks.
- Tip: Use the drag to expand feature to make this area easier to edit.
Upload School Logo
Add your school's logo image file here. This is like a thumbnail image that will display beside your school's name in the list of schools.
More Information Hyperlink
This is the URL that parents will be directed to when they select the More Information button. You may wish to link to your school website or inquiry form here.
Important Note
Please note that if you are sharing the Public Explore link to allow families to browse without creating an account, the More Information button will not appear. This option only appears after a visitor has created an account.
Min Grade Level and Max Grade Level
Select the lowest and highest grades at your school.
Portal Grade/System Grade:
- Portal Grade: On the left side, you see all grades within your min/max levels selected above.
- System Grade: On the right side, you can choose the grade that corresponds to the grade on your site. Inquires from Finalsite Explore will feed into the grade selected here.
- Out of Range: There is also a grade for out of range. This is what an inquiry will map to if the student’s grade is not one you offer. For example, if the student selected Pre-K, but your school does not offer that grade.
School Address
Enter your school's address here. The School Address tells the system where to display your school on the Explore map, and it will appear under the school name in the list and in a bubble on the map when a user hovers over the school's pin. Learn more about the Explore map in the "Finalsite Explore: School Map & Zoning" article.
NCES School ID
For school groups that require zoning, you will need to add your NCES School ID to this field and then check the Require Address Zoning box. This will add the Zoned label to your school in Finalsite Explore. Learn more about zoning in the "Finalsite Explore: School Map & Zoning" article.
Programs
Within this field you can add a list of the programs that you offer. The programs you add here are not connected to any fields in your site. This is just a way to add the programs that you offer to be displayed within the Explore page on the parent end.
Whatever you add here will display on the parent end in the school profile panel.
In addition, your visitors will be able to filter the group by program (and/or grade) above the school list on the left side of the page.
