Assigning Forms to Students

Assigning Forms to Students

Send forms to specific students with deadlines so you can track who’s done and who’s behind.

Before you start

• Required permission: form_assignments:create
• You need students added to your faire
• You need at least one published form

Steps

1. Open the Assignments page

Go to Students → Assignments in the sidebar.

2. Create a new assignment

Click New Assignment. This opens the assignment builder.

3. Pick a form

Select a form from the Form dropdown. Only published forms appear here — drafts won’t show up.

4. Choose your students

Select which students should receive this assignment. You can pick them individually from the list, or use Select All to assign to everyone at once.

For large faires, use the search bar or filters to narrow down the list before selecting.

5. Set a deadline

Pick a Deadline date. This is when you expect all responses submitted. Students see the deadline on their end and get reminders as it approaches.

6. Set priority

Choose a Priority level. Higher-priority assignments appear more prominently in the student portal. This helps when students have multiple forms to complete and you want them to tackle the important ones first.

7. Save the assignment

Click Save. Students can now see the assignment in their portal and start filling it out.

Good to know

• Each assignment tracks status per student: Pending (not started), In Progress (started but not submitted), Completed (submitted), and Overdue (deadline passed without submission).
• You can create multiple assignments for the same form — useful if different groups of students have different deadlines.
• Editing an assignment after students have started filling it out won’t erase their progress.
• Check Tracking Submissions to monitor how students are progressing.
