 1. If a group or section of students is selected, you will have two additional settings:
 1. Refresh nightly?: If enabled, will create requests for any new members of the selected sections and archive requests for any members who are no longer in the selected sections
 2. Stop refresh date: Date that the packet should stop regenerating nightly. Nightly refresh will continue indefinitely if no date is provided
3. Request Type: defaults to the packet
4. Due Date: 
 1. Setting a due date will generate automatic alerts on the following cadence ahead of the set due date: 7 days, 4 days, 2 days, 1 day. 
 2. If a due date is not entered, guardians will not have a deadline presented to them. 
5. Request message:
