Warning Message Explanation
Please input your explanation in the Warnings Explanation screen. Any warning messages without an explanation will trigger an error message, which will prevent submissions to the ministry.
Below are some common warning messages that may be triggered but which would not need to be cleared (i.e., even though there is a warning, there are not adjustments required to EFIS forms). If a school board triggers the warning message but has one of the specific situations noted below, please input a warning explanation that indicates the reason.
