Younger Students' Data

Kathy Flinn · January 2022

We are a 9-12 school that offers multiple admission events targeting prospective students in grades 2-8. We are new to EMS, setting up our backend. We are not sure how to organize our setup so we can capture each event each prospect attends. How have you set up your system? Do you require younger students to create user names and passwords? If not, what do you do?

For each of your admissions events, you'd want to create the event within EMS and make sure that the event is public. This is what will allow folks to register without an existing account, and when you process their registration you can create their account at the same time. It's really up to your school whether you want candidates to log in, but you'd need to create a record for them regardless in order to track event attendance. When they register for your events, they should all populate in the Events section of their Candidate record. Once the candidate and their family are in EMS, the system will continue to update the event section of the candidate record when they register for and attend future events. Hope this helps!
