Open Enrollment Tool Rights

Open Enrollment Processing Tools are used to simplify the setup process of Open Enrollments. A brief explanation of each available template is included in this article, along with corresponding tool rights.

See the Open Enrollment - Start Here article to learn about how these tools are used.

Note: Lottery, Batch Updates, Post Enrollments, and Mailer are "run once" processing tools. Users only need the Add right to these tools to have full access to them.

Application

Applications are central to the Open Enrollment process. Parents or guardians of the students complete the applications, indicating their preferred choices for the student's school and ranking them from first to last choice.
