Watermark offers three levels of support for revisions to Curriculum Management:
- Self-service: Changes that administrators can make within their own systems
- World-class support: Minor changes and standard yearly maintenance included for all institutions
- Paid professional services: Major changes and those typically requiring developer work may require purchase of a Curriculum Strategy Form/Workflow Updates project.
Self-service options
Self-service revisions that can be made by the administrator are outlined here:
- Modifying Curriculum Management Forms
- Deleting Curriculum Proposals
- Yearly Maintenance of Curriculum Management
Watermark must complete other changes to ensure that any proposals that have already been created remain intact and uncorrupted with the removal or addition of a field, for example.
Support vs. Paid Professional Services
For other changes, please note that if you have completed implementation, there may be an additional fee to modify your forms and workflow. This depends on the scope of the request and can be discussed with your Client Success Manager. See the below chart with additional information to assist with determining whether to request assistance by Support, or purchase Curriculum Management Form/Workflow Updates from our Academy.

Submitting Updates
- If you have changes that need to be completed by Support, please Submit a Request.
- When presenting a revision request to support, depending on what is being requested, please include form titles, location of existing field, location of new field, field labels, what type of field, required fields, workflow titles, what to remove/remain, usernames, emails, etc.
- The recommended way to present form revisions is to mark up the existing form on an outside document with the changes that are being requested.
- When presenting a workflow revision, a diagram of the existing workflow with changes highlighted is also recommended.
- Please note, not all revisions can be completed due to specific triggers throughout the form/workflow that need to remain. We will provide any explanations of revisions not completed, as well as reach out with questions if we need more information for a specific request.
