Overview
There are many fields in Apply’s Form module which allow for users to submit a response either in the form of uploading documents, or selecting relevant options. By using the Minimum and Maximum Values feature, School Admins have the ability to mandate a designated number of responses/document uploads to a given field.
This is useful when accepting application documents such as previous school reports, or collecting relevant marketing information such as ‘How Did You Hear About Our School?’
| Note: Minimum and Maximum values can only be set for multiple choice fields |

- Go to Admin > Forms and locate the form that you wish to modify.
- Click the pencil/’Edit’ icon to enter the form editor.
