When marked, existing parents can choose a person listed in the "Other Household Members" area and mark them as a student for the upcoming school year, such as enrolling a younger child in Kindergarten. |
| Allow Secondary Households |
When marked, this allows a parent to enter another parent into the application. If the parent unchecks the option, “Please check this box if this person lives at the address listed below," when the application is posted, a new household is created, marked as secondary, and the parent is part of the secondary household. A parent can also indicate that a student lives in that secondary household while configuring the relationship to the non-primary household parent. When the application is posted, the student is a member within the primary household and the secondary household. |
| Always Require Race Selection | When marked, a race/ethnicity must always be entered on applications, regardless of the student being Hispanic/Latino. |
| Allow Updating of Race/Ethnicity Information for Existing Students | When marked, this setting allows users to modify the Hispanic question and race checkboxes in the OLR Student Race/Ethnicity pleat for Existing type OLR students. When the application is posted, the Campus Race/Ethnicity information for the current Identity of the linked OLR student will be deleted and replaced with the data entered in the OLR application for the student. No new Identities will be created. |
| Print Students in Their Own Receipt |
When marked, the OLR receipt prints for each student. When not marked, all students on the family application are included on a single report. |
| Allow Multiple Parent Portal Applications per Configuration Group |
When marked, this allows parents to submit more than one Annual Update application and more than one New Student application per configuration via the Parent Portal. When unmarked, parents can only submit one Annual Update application and one New Student Application per configuration via the Parent Portal.

|
Force Selection of Primary Address From Campus OLR Prime Only |
When marked, Primary Address selection is required during the application process. The parent is not able to move forward with the OLR application process if their address is not in the district Campus database.

|

Allows students who are emancipated or are an unaccompanied minor to register for themselves.

|
|
Use School Registration Windows for Registration OLR Prime Only |
Dates set in the Registration Window By School tab will be used to populate OLR links to existing parents. Schools that do not have dates, or dates that are active, will be used for parent links. OLR is a family based registration system; if a family has a student in an active school and an inactive school, the application will populate all students in the family regardless if one of the student’s schools is not active. |
|
Enable Automatic Boundary School Assignment if School List Field is Disabled OLR Prime Only |
If a school has not been specified for a student from the school list or enrollment school, the boundary school is set if one is found. When the School List field is disabled, the value always updates with the current boundary school for New type students when the student record is saved. This School List value will be blank if the current boundary school cannot be determined. |
| Force Only P.O. Boxes for Household Mailing Addresses | If enabled, the mailing checkbox can only be marked on P.O. Box addresses. |

Health conditions and medications that districts wish to exclude can be listed within the Condition Exclude and Medications Exclude lists on the OLR Configuration List Editor. |
|
Allow Batch Posting of Students with Medications or Health Conditions |
Allows for existing applications, which have students with medical conditions or medications, to be batch posted. This setting overrides the batch posting requirement that prevents applications from qualifying for batch posting if the No Medications and No Health Conditions checkboxes are not marked for all students in the application. All other rules still apply for batch posting. OLR never automatically posts health condition or medication data. |
