Tours bookable without requiring a checklist item please.
planned
"More flexibility is needed in the tour booking protocols. Currently, tours can only be booked if they are a 'checklist' item, causing confusion for parents who have already visited on an open day. This results in unnecessary bookings, taking up spaces needed for parents who have not yet visited. Can we allow tour bookings independently of the checklist to avoid this issue?"

Hello everyone, we've updated the Parent Checklist user interface, so now 'Optional' checklists have their own section, distinct from 'Required' checklists , helping parents understand that they do not need to complete those items.

Hi everyone. A good portion of our schools need the requirement for their tours to be made available only through the applicant checklist. We've made updates to the Checklist to mark specific items as 'Optional'. Part of the goal with this update was that schools can mark their tours as 'optional', to avoid parent confusion on whether or not they need to attend the tour.
After review with our teams, it seems that some parents are still confused with this experience, so we plan to update the 'Optional' checklist UI to make it abundantly clear to the parents that the specified checklist item is indeed optional. We have confidence that this will resolve the issue. If the issue persists, we will look to different solutions.
Your feedback is always welcome. Thank you!
