Start with the source data the team already trusts: admission spreadsheets, student information systems, parent intake responses, branch or campus records, and fee-office trackers. Upload a representative CSV, XLSX, JSON, or TXT schema, then map those headers to reviewed PDF fields before anyone treats the template as production-ready.
Use clear field names for student, parent, guardian, class, campus, transport, hostel, and fee fields. Ambiguous labels like "name" or "number" become hard to reuse once the packet grows.
- student_name, class_applied, academic_year, date_of_birth, previous_school
- parent_name, guardian_name, mobile_number, email, residential_address
- transport_required, hostel_required, sibling_id, fee_category
- document_checklist_status, admission_number, campus_code
