Contact Log

Contact logs are like notes for an RTO. TEAMS allows you to create contact logs for students, employers, and agents. You will see this option on all the listing screens and in the communication tile. You either can create a contact log in Bulk by using the listing screens or you can make it individually for a student or agent by using the communication tile on different dashboards that we have such applicant/student dashboard, application/enrolment dashboard, agent dashboard, etc. No matter what screen you choose to create the contact log/s, the steps to use this functionality are the same everywhere. This post will explain how you can use the “Create Contact Log” option.

  • Select the “Create Contact Log” option.
  • This will open a popup window.
  • Update the contact date. This is the date when you are entering the contact log and this is a mandatory field that cannot be left blank.
  • The user Name field is automatically loaded by the system. This is the user’s login name who is currently entering the contact log.
  • Select your Log type. This is to identify what kind of notes you are going to create. This is a user code and you can create the User Code as a log type as required, such as Late Fees, Financial support due to COVID, etc.
  • If you wish to show the contact log that you are going to create in the student portal, then select the tick box:
  • Type in your notes in detail for the contact log by selecting the “Notes” icon. It will open a popup message box for you to type in your notes manually.
  • Select the Notes icon again to close the popup message box.
  • If you are entering the notes for a specific subject, then select that subject from the “Subject” dropdown.
  • Select the Save button to save the contact log.

Send an Email

history of changes

TEAMS gives you the option to send out email/s to students, employers and agents. You will see this option on all the listing screens and in the communication tile. You can either send the emails in Bulk by using the listing screens or you can send individual emails by using the communication tile on different dashboards. No matter what screen you choose to send out the email/s, the steps to use that screen are the same everywhere.

How to send emails

  • Select the “Send an Email” option from the Burger Menu
  • The system will redirect you to the “Compose Email” screen. Use a comma between email addresses to CC the mail to them.
  • Select an email template if you’ve added any in your TEAMS. If you do not have an email template, you can leave this field blank.
  • If you have selected the email template, the subject field will be updated manually. However, if not, you can update the subject manually.
  • The sender address is automatically entered by the system (it is always the user’s email address). If you have linked a specific sender address with an Email Template, that email address will be listed in the dropdown menu, along with any email address you have linked as default at the organisation level. If there are no email addresses updated at the Email Template or Organisation Level, then you will only see the user’s email address in the Sender field, no other email addresses will be visible.
    Note – When you are using the Application or Enrolment Dashboard to send out emails and the agent is linked with the application/enrolment, you will see some more tick-boxes. If you select “Send email to the agent only”, then the system will send out the email to the linked agent only and if you tick “CC to Agent”, then it will be sent to the student and agent. And if you aren’t ticking any of the above tick-boxes, then the email will be sent to students only.
  • To attach a document from your computer or Network, select the Attach button

IMPORTANT: Do not change the fields that are in curly braces. Those are called merge fields to populate the data by TEAMS and if you remove anything from them, the system won’t print the data when you send out the email to the student or the agent.

Note – If you are sending emails individually from the student’s communication tile then the system will allow you to attach the documents generated from the student level only.

  • Select the “Send” button to send out the email and your email will be sent.

Change – Student Dashboard – VSL Student – Disabilities

Earlier, on the Student Dashboard > VSL Student icon, the system used to show Disabilities by default even when there was no radio button (yes, no and did not indicate) selected.

Now, We have made the changes for disability and it will show the disabilities when the radio button is selected as Yes on the VSL Edit Student screen as shown below:

Change – End date editable while creating the Application

We have made a new change in the system for End Date for this Application field on the New Application screen.

While creating the application system calculates the end date of the application and the field (End Date for this Application field) used to appear as a read only field. Now a user can edit the End Date of the application as their requirements by selecting the dates from the calendar as shown below:

Note: End date editable settings is a system based settings and the user can only edit the end date of the application if this setting is turned on. If you want this setting to be turned on then you need to contact TEAMS Support.

This feature enables effective communication and notification regarding important matters to ensure smooth operations within the system.
