Professor M wants to ensure he has a quality pipeline of students for his school. He has decided to allow prospective students to apply online.
A Web to Lead Form was created in Sugar and then customized to become the online application for the school.
ApplyOnline.html is a customized Web to Lead Form. This form is the online application that students can complete. When students submit the form, they are redirected to ApplyOnlineSuccess.html, a static html file.
Note that these two files are stored in the custom/online_application_form directory for simplicity of deploying this example. You could host these two files on any server.
When the form is submitted, a new Applicant (Lead) record is automatically created in the system.
