# 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.

## Creating a school report page

> [!NOTE]
> 💼 Try a Slate example
> 
> Use [Suitcase](/v1/docs/suitcase-import) to import our ready-made example school report page form. **Open and re-save each form field** to break any potential cache from the suitcase import.

To create a school report page:

1. Select **Forms** from the main navigation.
2. Select **New Form**. A popup appears.
3. In the New Form popup, enter the following configurations:
  - **Page Title**: The page title will display to an applicant as the name of the page.
  - **Folder**: Keep organized by saving custom application pages within a clear folder structure.
  - **Status**: Set the **Status** to **Confirmed/Active**.
4. Select **Save**.
5. Select **Edit Form**.
6. Select **Edit Properties**.
7. Set the scope to **School Report Page**.

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)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/4689216966939.png/Form_Field_Configurations_Example.png)

## 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.

3. From the list, select the part ID `aca`**.** This applies even if you aren’t using the standard academic history page.
4. Select **School Report Settings.**A popup appears.
5. In the Edit Configuration popup, select your custom school report page from the list under **School Report Page Form.**
6. Select **Save**. [![School_Report_Page_Form.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/4690150231707.png)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/4690150231707.png/School_Report_Page_Form.png)

## 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.
