Our application is quite long and it looks a bit daunting when you first look at it. I think it would be helpful to be able to set pages for the application with a progress bar at the top/bottom. This will reduce the initial feel of how big the application looks and allow easier separation of different sections that could be in the application.

Matthew Pillman Agreed! Our application is in multiple distinct sections (Personal information, Educational background, references, etc.). Multiple pages would clarify the process significantly.
It is common for students to see our application and only fill out 2 or 3 questions before being overwhelmed by the length. If it were broken down into 4-5 pages, each section would fit on one screen and feel much more manageable. -
Paul-Long Lee I agree!

Krysta Hartman I wholeheartedly agree, and hope this is something that is in the works. It would be great to be able to set page rules, so that students would only see the questions/fields that apply to them. This would also (hopefully) cut down on the number of pages to be printed on our end (a 10-15 page printed application, of which maybe two-thirds is actually completed, is a monumental waste of paper and ink).

Paul-Long Lee Is there anyway we could custom build out this feature?

Matthew Pillman Our school would like to consider reshaping our online application form. If possible, we would like to stick with the internal form in populi, but we still find it to be somewhat clunky.
@krista, I agree that page rules would be a great benefit!
