Linking to the Registration/Enrollment Steps page

District Administrators can add links to the Registration/Enrollment Steps page by adding a Text Object [>>] (to name the link) then adding a Link Object [>>] and defining which custom page to link to. The Link Object changes the text in the Text Object to a hyperlink that links from the Registration/Enrollment Steps page to the custom page [Figure 202].
