# External School Report Page

> [!NOTE]
> 📚 Part of the series **Application Building Phase II:** [**The Slate-hosted Application**](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-slate-hosted-application)

The **school report page-scoped form** is the alternative to the standard school report form sent to school officials when a student requests a school report from their institution. This custom form allows for flexibility in adding conditional logic, custom school report fields, and instructional text.

This form, which is received by a school official, is distinct from the **school report widget-scoped form,** which displays to the applicant. See the [school history page](/v1/docs/custom-school-history-page) article for more information.

8. **Remove all of the default standard fields on this page.** These fields are already captured on the Slate delivered Personal Background page in the Slate-hosted application.
9. Add the desired fields and instructional text to the form. See the following example configuration: [![Form_Field_Configurations_Example.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/4689216966939.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-15T19%3A44%3A44Z&se=2026-10-15T20%3A44%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=40uW8d5J34gBumOqZN1uEKqP5%2Fd%2FGxS7HY9KhHcRb5o%3D)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/4689216966939.png/Form_Field_Configurations_Example.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-15T19%3A44%3A44Z&se=2026-10-15T20%3A44%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=40uW8d5J34gBumOqZN1uEKqP5%2Fd%2FGxS7HY9KhHcRb5o%3D)

## Adding the school report page to the Slate-hosted application

Use the **Application Editor** to add custom application pages built in **Form Builder** to the Slate-hosted application:

1. Select **Database** from the main navigation, then select **Application Editor**.
2. Select the `/apply/` link for the application base to which the new page should be added.

**📝 Note**: If only one application base exists, only `/apply/` will appear.

## Considerations

- If the submission of a school report satisfies any transcript checklist items, set the [checklist item fulfillment](/v1/docs/getting-started-with-checklists) to your custom school report.
- Only **school report-scoped materials** can be mapped on a material widget on the school report. If you want a school official to upload a transcript on behalf of the student, create a school report scoped material and have that material satisfy the transcript checklist item.
