Required Phone numbers for parental & emergency contacts -** you can set which type of phone number you need. In the example below, mobile phone is mandatory for parental and emergency contacts; if they do have a work/home number they can also add it, however this isn't required: ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-15-2022-12-32-14-1994-PM.png?width=1457&height=688&name=image-png-Nov-15-2022-12-32-14-1994-PM.png) **Note:** In this parent/carer requirements area, you can set the required phone number & phone type differently for your internal & external applicants using the relevant toggles. (blue for on) **2.) Shared Phone numbers & email address** - if the parents are living in the same household and just using the same phone number, the school can enable 'Allow shared mobile/work phone numbers' so that if the parents input the same number and email address in the form the system will not stop them from submitting the form. ![](https://melodicfowlnest.mylearndash.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-59.png) **3.) Add parent/guardian button** - this lets you change the button text for adding a parent/emergency contact and also change the add/edit tooltip for guidance to parents ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tooltip-png.png?width=688&height=492&name=Tooltip-png.png) **4.) Parental & Emergency Contact Communication** - This is where you can setup which contact/s will receive communications that you send from Admissions+ system. ![](https://melodicfowlnest.mylearndash.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-65-1024x303.png) **5.)
