Post Bulletin or Link to forms only for Parent Login

Forums:

We want to post a notice with a link to a form that will only be available to parents with an active PowerSchool Portal Account. I know we can post this is the Daily Bulletin, but the setting for target audience is for "public" and that allows students to access the information as well. This is a form we only want parents to access. Does anyone have any ideas?

When logged into Parent Portal the School Bulletin tab is available on the left menu but it is the only item that when clicked on you don't navigate to that page. I can also set the first page viewed to be the bulletin but if I navigate off the bulletin I can not get it back. I believe this is a new problem but I have not made any new customizations.

I am having the same issue currently. Did you resolve this?

Not sure if this is the same issue but once we went to PSchool 10++ (we're on 10.0.3 now) I had to go into the wildcards and fix a couple of things to get the daily bulletin to display again.

What you call a problem PowerSchool calls a feature. The bulletin is a pop-up, not an individual page as you suggest. The reason you can't go back to it is because the page is no longer there. EPP tricks the system a bit by creating a copy of the old version where it was an actual page. It only does that for the purposes of allowing you to force your users there upon log in.

I write this only to clarify as people seem to think it's a bug but it's not, it's performing as expected.
