Each CRICOS RTO that has collaboration with agents, needs to monitor the agent performance in order to make up their mind in taking certain decisions. On the Agent Dashboard, we have a bar graph that can give you a vast amount of information to keep a check on the agent performance.
This bar graph will display the agent performance for the current financial year. On the right top side of the bar graph, you can see the calendar option. From there, you can change the date range as per your requirement.
The horizontal line of the bar graph will display the months based on what calendar option you select. The vertical line of the bar graph will display the count and that count again varies depending upon the calendar option. The vertical colourful bars in the bar graph will present the data with a tooltip. Once you will move your cursor over the bar, you can see a tooltip based on which colour bar you have moved your cursor to. Each colour represents a different purpose. You can see the colour classification on the right side of the bar graph.
As you can below, the tooltip says Converted Applications 17 for the month of Oct 2022. It means for October month, there are just 12 applications to process for that agent, hence the height of the bar is till count 17.0. So from these colourful bars, you can easily read how many total applications linked with the agent, how many converted, commenced, completed, and did not commence & canceled.
Financials
Just below the bar graph, we have the financials area for that agent. This is easily readable from the labels just below the figures. This gives you the Tuition Fee’s data based on the calendar option you select.
Moreover, there is a more button in this section that will directs you toward the Agent Financial Transaction screen.
This tile provides you with basic information about an Agent and allows you to perform various actions related to the Agent’s account. Users can upload a profile picture for the Agent and edit their details as needed. Additionally, the tile displays any pending payments for the Agent, providing users with an overview of their financial status. Users can also create bonus invoices for the Agent through this tile, allowing them to reward the Agent for exceptional performance. The tile features different icons that allow you to update the data and perform different actions related to the Agent’s account.
Below is a list of all the reports available under this Marketing menu in the system. You can see the name of the report with either an icon that has the letters CSV in it or an MS Excel icon. Generally, all reports in the system generate a CSV (Comma-separated Values). There will be times when a report generates to Excel, primarily as it requires a page break in it which you can’t do in CSV, however in this menu there are no Excel reports.
Each report listed below is a link to a post where you can understand the report, its parameters and to view an example of the report.
The Agent Dashboard screen will give you a history of the Agent with your college. It is comprised of a number of different tiles that will allow you to navigate to different screens and information linked to the Agent.
