Keeping track of student dietary restrictions is essential for student safety and compliance. By customizing the dietary restriction options that parents select during enrollment, schools ensure accurate records and better support for student health and well-being. With this feature, managers and system admins can tailor restriction options to match the needs of their school community.
Who can use this feature?
Only users with the Manager or SysAdmin role can modify dietary restrictions.
How to Manage Dietary Restrictions
Navigate to Settings
From the left-hand menu, select Settings.
Under Instance Settings, choose Dietary Restrictions.
Review the Current List
You’ll see the default list of dietary restrictions available for parents to select during enrollment.
Customize the List
Edit or archive: Update or remove existing restriction options.
Add new:
Click Add New at the top of the page.
Type in the restriction name.
Click Confirm to save it.
⚠️ Tip: The list may span multiple pages. If you don’t see a restriction right away, check the next page.
Where Restrictions Appear
The updated list will automatically apply to parent enrollment forms.
Restrictions will also appear on the student’s card at the bottom of the page, where they can be viewed and edited.
Best Practices & Tips
Keep the list current: Archive restrictions that are no longer relevant.
Cross-check with cafeteria staff: Ensure dietary options align with what’s offered at school.
Use student cards for quick edits: Staff can update restrictions directly if changes come in after enrollment.
