Account Customization

See below for your Phone Number Format.
Everyone writes there phone number differently, even when cards and forms try to force a specific format. To ensure the best data integrity for uploading to your ChMS, please select the format that your ChMS uses. With this selection, Focus Growth will always reformat all phone numbers before data is uploaded.
These are all the options you will need to set up under Organization settings to get started. Next, we will want to set up your campus.
Campus Locations
Campus is used throughout Focus Growth to assign forms, templates, and tracks to a specific location. Not all ChMS Products have a campus option, but you will still need to set up at least one campus. Growth also uses campus when creating different Admin Users.

On the Campus Dashboard, there will be a listing of all the campus locations you have created. It will be blank when you first log in.
Select "Create A Campus" from the upper-right corner.

- If your ChMS has campus locations, select the one you want to assign to the Campus Name Entered.
When done, select "Create Campus" on the right-side.
- Your new campus will now be listed and available to select for any forms or templates your create.
- If you need to edit or delete a campus, click on the gear icon and select either delete or edit from the dropdown. Make your selection and save.
