Create the Staff Interest Form
The Staff Interest Form is web-based and is accessible on various devices. On the admin side, you'll customize the level of information collected and the system will integrate the applicant in as a lead.
Navigate to Admin > Staff > Staff Interest Form Settings.
Note: at the very top of the form you will see button links for your "Position Types" and "Lead Sources". The definitions will populate directly from your staff application, and edits to definitions on either form will populate on the other.
Edit "Position Types" as needed and select to include or exclude from the staff interest form. Activate/Inactivate the "Lead Sources" "Ask Memo" permissions (collecting data on how applicants heard about your camp.)
Edit any user notification settings for form submission alerts and marketing tools (google analytics, AdWords, etc.) under "General Settings".
The "Form Heading" section is where you can add the form header name (we are calling it "Staff Interest Form") and any messages desired to guide interested applicants in completing the form.
Enable the "General Information" you are collecting from the interested applicant. Note: There are four required fields pre-populated on the Staff Interest Form:
Season (to assign the staff to a particular season, since inquiry staff are seasonal)
First and Last Name
Preferred Name (to ensure staff are addressed appropriately)
Email (to validate and avoid duplicate records where possible and ensure staff can easily access CIT and existing data when they’re ready to complete their application)
You will not see the above fields as editable options on the admin side.
Select from the General Information list the fields you wish to collect from the interested applicant. Select "Show Field" to add to the form, and "Is Required" if applicant has to add it to submit.

From Inquiry to Staff Lead
When an interested party submits the "Staff Inquiry Form" a new record will be created in the system. The record will have a staff “LD” tile and will be assigned to the Staff Recruitment partition with the “Inquiry” status.
When searching staff records, look for "Inquiry" in the dropdown status options.
