Creating and Editing a Student Portal Requirements Page

To create a requirements page, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Student Portal in the top navigation bar to open the Student Portal administration module in a separate browser tab.
  2. Select Requirements Page in the left navigation menu.
  1. Select the + icon next to the Requirements Page header to open the Create Requirements Page window.
  2. Choose an academic year you wish to associate with the requirements page.
  3. Enter the internal name of the page for use within PowerFAIDS in the Requirements Name field.
  4. Enter the name you want displayed to the student within Student Portal when the requirements page is displayed in the Display Name field. The Requirements Page Name and Display Name can be the same.
  5. Choose the selection set that contains the population of students you want to be able to view the requirements page in the associated academic year.
  6. Optionally, change Display Important Information to Yes if you wish to display any existing important information notices you’ve created when a student first visits the requirements page. If you adjust this to Yes, you'll see a list displayed of all available important information notices that have the Requirements Page type.

    Tip: If you have important information you'd like to associate with the requirements page, be sure to create the important information with the Requirements Page type prior to creating your requirements page.

  7. Select Create. A success message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page letting you know the requirements page has been created.

    Caution: Once a requirements page is created, it cannot be deleted.

  1. Once created, you’ll see the requirements page in the Requirements Page list. Select it from the list to add the display text.
  2. Within the display text editor box, you can input and format the information you’d like displayed to students at the top of the requirements page. Please see the formatting text section of Communication Templates for more information on using the editor.

    Tip: For any items you don't want to allow students to upload through the portal, be sure to include the information within the requirements page for how students can complete those requirements by adding those details in your display text box during the creation process, so it'll show at the top of the page for students.

  3. From the edit view, you can also make any necessary edits to the parameters your previously set.
  4. Select Save. A success message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page letting you know the important information has been saved.

    Tip: The requirement you created can be copied for use with other types. See Copying a Requirements Page for more details on how to complete this.
