Manual data entry. Sounds fun, right?
It’s not glamorous, but adding and updating important user data during registration is consistently part of the workflow for most after school admin teams. As “part-of-the-job” as this may be, what if your after school software platform did some of the work for you (the updating information part), reducing time needed from staff and potential errors during data entry?
It’s time for data that updates for you. That’s why we’ve introduced System Field questions in Arux.

Admins can now add System Field questions to Question Templates and Surveys in Arux that automatically update specific user information collected during account creation and previous enrollment periods. When your families answer questions about…
Birth dates
Grade levels
School attendance
Teachers
Special needs
… during enrollment or when registering for child care, their changes in responses to these questions instantly sync to the corresponding user’s profile. Example: Users can update a participant's teacher for the new school year and the data will be automatically updated in the participant's profile and records. Update System Field questions will auto-fill how families most recently answered the question within the enrollment form and surveys, giving them the option to update their response or submit as is.
The result? Less double-entry work for you and your staff on these essential details and more up-to-date information across your platform. Data in Arux just got smarter.
