Adding Incoming Parent/Student Roles to Resource Boards

Late in the school year and over the summer we have information specific to incoming families only. It would great if these families didn't have to weed through current family information to get what they need.

    Why is this still a new idea? Incoming Students/ Parents NEED to be separate from Current Students/ Parents because they're getting different information before the start of the school year.

    You can set up an incoming parent bulletin board and share resources there. Here's how we set ours up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1udx35imIm0G3FpjSU4G3CZyKYS_EguPU/view?usp=sharing


    I think this group of families have full access to the "parent" resource boards. You might be able to add another category as shown here:

    Hope it helps!

    I agree with all of the other comments here - it would be very useful to be able to provide a resource board specifically for folks with the Incoming Student role and a resource board specifically for folks with the Parent of Incoming Student role.

    We really need this! As stated below the information for Incoming Parents is unique to this group. And a lot of what is on the (current) Parent board is not. We don't want to overwhelm the new parents and we don't want to clutter the board for current. Please, developers, review this request!!!


    This could be merged with this idea: https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12CO-I-1748

    We were surprised this was not an option when we went live. This would be so helpful to acclimate new families and reinforce the habit of logging into Blackbaud.

    This would be an extremely helpful enhancement.

    This definitely makes sense. I just played around with resource boards and saw that we could not have different ones for current students vs. candidates. There is vastly different information to present to these different groups. Also, it was not properly explained to us when we were looking at the product that this was not the case. It seemed like there were different resource boards for different groups of people, particularly related to admissions.
