# Require School Reports

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

[Application logic](/v1/docs/submission-requirements-hard-and-soft-fails), including hard and soft fails, ensure applicants enter all necessary data prior to submitting an application.

## Try a Slate example 💼

Use [Suitcase](/v1/docs/suitcase#importing-a-suitcase-0-5) to import the example in this article (and others in this section) into your institution's database. These examples are also featured in the [Clean Slate Showcase environment.](/v1/docs/provision-clean-slate-test-and-time-warp-environments#clean-slate-0-2)

#### Using testing queries

Before you commit to using the application logic records, try a testing query by importing the Suitcase link in the second tab. These queries recreate the application logic records, taking advantage of the Query Builder's **Preview Results** function to ensure the records that should be receiving the hard or soft fails appear. If you only use the application logic records, you'll only see the number of records affected.

#### Application logic Suitcase ID (hard fail library)

## Require school report

Prevents application submission if the applicant still needs to enter the required school level of study.

In this example, applicants who do not have a school with the High School level of study will see the hard fail.

- **Type:**Submission Requirement
- **Section**: Select the application page that includes [school report information](/v1/docs/external-school-report-page)
- **Name:** Provide the text that will display when the applicant is missing a school report contact
- **Warning:**Hard Fail
- **Base:** Configurable Joins - Application
- **Filters**: Create a [Subquery Filter (Aggregate - Not Exists)](/v1/docs/subquery-filters#not-exists) for the School Reports → Email export.
