Ability to remove the Apply Another Child button

We do not currently use the onBoard application, and would like to be able to remove the Apply Another Child button that parents see in a Candidate's checklist. If it cannot be removed, we would at the very least like the option to link it to our own external application.

    Please remove! We only accept applications for candidates who have met all admission criteria and this button creates problems for families who apply but do not even qualify for a family admission conference. We have had to issue applicaiton fee refunds, which costs us money as well.

    Excellent. I've been struggling all morning trying to decide how to deal with this and explain it to new inquiries.

    Hi there! We're going to be working on this in a couple of weeks. Keep an eye out on the release notes.

    The Apply another child is certainly a problem and confusing for new applicants. Sending new inquiries to the application is not what it should do.

    1) This button needs to send people to a new checklist for each additional student entered rather than the application. Why would I want to immediately fill out an application for my 2nd & subsequent children when I haven't filled out the application for the first, especially when there's a fee?

    2) Or give us the option to remove the button and send everyone through the inquiry form for every child.

    Wanted to beat the drum on this again. We have different inquiries for different entering years and would like for all students to enter the admissions process through the inquiry stage so that we can ensure proper processing. The "Apply Another Child" button creates many more problems for us than it solves. Please an option to turn it off or remove it in checklist options. Thanks.

    Sarah, has there been any movement on this? We are in the same position, and this has been an open request for five years now. We would greatly prefer for all students to apply through the same process regardless of whether they are siblings or not.
