Lunch Menu Order Form

Candace Chesler

Here in Illinois it looks like we will not be serving lunch in our cafeteria anytime during the 2020-2021 school year. Our Food Service Provider is going to need to collect lunch orders for each week that we can organize by homeroom. We want to set up an ordering system that requires the parents (or students in grades 4 and up) to be logged in to then place their lunch order. My dream is that I can build a link that will pass the parameters of User Name, UserID, Student and Homeroom to the page where I will be collecting their lunch requests. I have a developer that can do the buildout of the form for us - but I need to understand how best to pass these parameters along. 

Has anyone built a similar form where you passed that information?

Is this something that can be accomplished by setting up a new Integration in Core?

Hi Candace,

I would start by sharing this information with your developer 
https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/apis/school/sso-tutorial


Schools use the SSO settings (Core > Security > Authentication Settings > SSO Settings) as a way to enable apps that can be launched from the resource board via a link.  The receiving application can use this token to determine which user is making the request.


Let us know if this doesn't get you what you need.
