Simplify the collection of important student health information by adding custom health-related questions to your online registration process in jmc Office. These questions allow families to submit critical data such as medications, allergies, and other conditions via free-text fields, medication tables, or allergy tables in jmc Family. All responses are automatically organized in the Health module of jmc Office, making them easy to access and reference throughout the year.
Create custom health fields by logging into jmc Office and navigating to Health > Health Custom Fields > Define Health Fields.
Step One (optional): Click the "Import" button to carry over health custom field questions from the previous year into the current year’s setup.
Helpful Tip: Save time with the health custom fields feature in jmc Office, which automatically copies your custom health questions from the previous year into the current year’s setup.
Step Two: Click the "+ Add Health Custom Field" link to create a new custom health question for families to complete during registration.
Helpful Tip: Click the "Pencil" icon to edit an existing health custom field question or click the "Trash Can" icon to delete it.
Step Three: Place a checkmark in the "Current Year" checkbox to make the question active in jmc Family registration for the current year.
Helpful Tip: Uncheck the "Current Year" box to remove a question from online registration while keeping it in your health custom field list.
Step Four: Enter a question in the "Name" field to specify the health information you want to collect during registration.
Step Five: Enter information in the "Additional Information" field to provide families with extra guidance or context for answering the health custom field question.

Helpful Tip: Use the "Skip To" drop-down to direct families to a different question if they select “No” in a Yes/No response.
Step Seven: Select the appropriate radio button to define the “Permanence” of the field:
"Year-Specific": the question resets each school year, prompting families to answer it during every online registration cycle
"Year-Independent": the response carries over from one year to the next, allowing families to update it as needed.
