Almost any part of the website can be customized by the District except for a very small handful of strings. These read-only strings cannot be modified because they contain information that should never be changed by the District. An example of this is the 'Terms of Use' string. This string defines the user agreement between HSS and the end user. |

A recommendation that can assist in setting up strings involves using 2 web browsers on the same computer. Use 1 browser to modify the string in the admin interface and use the other browser to see the results of the string on the online application itself. In order to use this technique you must use 2 different browsers - you cannot use the same browser with multiple tabs/windows. |
