Ability to add multiple siblings candidate inquiry at the same time

We need the parents or admission staff to add multiple candidate per family at the same time. Having to type parent information and address over and over is time consuming. We need to make this easier for families and admission staff. Why can't we have the option for system to recognize existing siblings in the school or at least give the prospective families options to add two to three kids inquiry at the same time. Please consider this enhancement as a priority. We are receiving multiple complains that they have to enter same information over and over when they have more than one child entering the school.

    I cannot believe that this was brought to your attention over 5 years ago, and you have done nothing to implement it. How many votes does it require for you to act? I will begin a "get out the vote" campaign.

    Why is this idea not implemented or being considered?  We really need this to happen. Asking families to submit multiple inquiry for two or more kids with same parents is silly. Can we not implemented this idea? Why is this not being considered?

    The majority of our prospective families bring multiple children, not just one. PLEASE make this change! Asking a prospective parent to fill out a form two or three times doesn't make the best first impression.

    Why can we implement this idea! We need the ability to add multiple inquiry of siblings at the same time. Why do we have to create two inquiry for the same family.

    Please make this happen....we have families that do not want to sit there and fill out an inquiry for all 3 kids, which they proceed to do one inquiry with all the names of the children. This makes is much harder to track our progress and giving us more work than we already need.

    We desperately need this, too. We are really struggling to find the balance between putting out best foot forward with potential new families/making the process as easy for them as possible and not creating a lot of extra work for ourselves on the back end. In the interest of customer service, we are seriously considering using Jotform to collect initial parent inquiries and then having our staff manually transfer the information to onBoard. It's very disheartening to be paying so much for onBoard only to have such limited functionality and so much more admin busy work than our previous system.
