Formatting of phone numbers on EMS forms- We need your feedback!

Same here, our format is xxx-xxx-xxxx and we spell out words, no abbreviations. Would definitely appreciate the settings option to choose what our school prefers. It usually has to match up to the Communications department so when we export info it does not have to then be edited to match their criteria.

Thought I would comment on a recent application processing issue we received this morning around the new formatting of phone numbers. If you are going to "format" a phone number, it needs to at least adhere to the minimum number of digits or have some sort of field checking to make sure it is entered correctly. Please see below, the example from this morning. I believe this should have resulted in an error message to the parent that the field is not entered correctly. We are basically guessing at this point, what the correct phone number should be.



As it stands right now, since our formatting is xxx-xxx-xxxx, we still have to "touch" each phone number that is processed in through applications. Additionally, we have to decide wether to move forward with converting all of our existing phone numbers to the new format (xxx) xxx-xxxx or to try and continue to correct each one as it comes in.

I cannot input "0" either. It was a glitch yesterday and I am still unable to submit an inquiry. Support is helping me today.

Yes. We normally have (333) 333-3333, ext. 3333.

I know this is from 2021, but I'd like to know if there are plans to allow for choosing formatting for all/more of these input fields. We have to do a lot of data cleanup from applications, forms, profile changes, etc.

Re: applications specifically, it would also make it easier if more fields were available to update from “Edit Users” when processing applications. Addresses, for a start.
