![Feature specific to Texas school districts highlighted for user awareness and information.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/Knowledge Base - Texas banner(5).png)

The **Student Forms** toolset enables districts to create and organize online forms pertaining to PGPs, RTI documentation, LPAC documentation, etc. District-level form creators and campus administrators can create, add, edit, and view student forms as appropriate.

## **Adding Form Categories**

Form categories are used to properly divide forms within a student's profile properly.

**Step 1:**From the **Student Settings** gear in **Aware**, select **Configure Form Categories**.

## **Publishing a Form and Making It Active**

After you make changes to a form, click **Publish**. The Publish button controls when a form is updated once a user has edited it. In order to add the form to a student, it will need to be made **Active** by clicking the **Draft** button. The Active/Draft button controls the form’s visibility to the end user

![publish and activate form.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/16518136018839.png)

## **General Tab**

The **General**tab contains comprehensive information about the form. In this tab, users can edit the title and description as well as change the form category.

To make the form available only on specific campuses, select the campuses by using the grade level filter or by selecting each campus from the list of campuses shown. If the form will be used across the district, do not select any campuses.

A sub form can also be added or copied by clicking **Add a Sub Form** and following the creation wizard. Sub forms are designed to addend or update any information in the primary form. For instance, users can employ sub forms to document RTI meetings. Users can add sub forms multiple times.

![add a sub form.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/16518136019607.png)

**Step 3:** Once you have entered question information, click **Finished**.

## **Pages**

The **Pages** feature allows you to have a single form that acts as multiple pages. While a single page has no question limit, adding multiple pages can make a form flow more smoothly. Pages also serve as good divisions of a form as each one can have a separate title at the top.

1. Click the **Add New Page** icon and select the newly-created page to edit the form.
2. Click the **Remove Selected** **Page** icon to delete a page.
