[bromcom] Setting up of admissions form on MCAS

[CarterUSM]

Hi

We are trying to ascertain the most effective and efficient means of requesting information from parents/guardians of parents of prospective new students, and ensuring it is transferred onto Bromcom.

At the moment, we ask them to complete a pupil admission form (PAF), the information from which has then to be input manually into Bromcom, which as you might imagine, is an incredibly time-consuming task. We are looking to automate the process as much as we possibly can.

I have looked at the possibility of manual data export/import, but many of the required fields in our PAF do not correspond with the data fields in Bromcom.

I understand it is possible to configure MCAS to enable parents/guardians of prospective new students to complete the relevant admission form online. Could someone point me in the right direction as to what needs to be done to set this up? Is there scope to perform trial runs using our bespoke admission form?

For those who have gone down the MCAS route in trying to automate the admissions process – have you had any feedback from parents as to how user-friendly the process is?

Many thanks in anticipation.
