Certificate Report Enhancement

We have implemented notable enhancements in the certificate reporting process, particularly pertaining to the handling of names within the merge fields.

In the first scenario, where a student’s last name is a mandatory field and if a student’s record lacks a last name and incorporates special characters like commas or periods within the last name field, the newly improved system ensures that the generated certificate will solely display the student’s first name. Special characters in the last name are omitted from the certificate, contributing to a cleaner and more accurate representation.

In the second instance, when a special character is not utilised within the last name field, yet the student’s first name is duplicated as the last name, the system’s upgraded functionality comes into play. Upon generating the certificate, only the student’s first name is printed, eliminating redundancy in the data presented. These enhancements collectively enhance the precision and professionalism of the certificate reports, offering streamlined and error-free documentation of student achievements.

Current Student by Nationality Forecast Report

We have recently implemented a new report in our system called “Current Student by Nationality Forecast.” This report provides comprehensive insights into the enrollment statistics of our students based on their nationalities. It offers both the total number of enrollments and the corresponding percentage breakdown for each nationality category.

IMPORTANT – It’s important to keep in mind that when generating this report, it’s advisable to choose a date that falls on a Monday. This selection is crucial, as the system restricts the option to select any other day from the calendar. Additionally, the generated report will cover a span of 12 weeks starting from the chosen date on the calendar.

Listing Screens New Feature – Bulk Update Trainer

10 Aug 2023

We are excited to announce the latest addition to our software – the Update Trainer in bulk feature, now available on both the Continuing Listing Screen and the Starters Listing Screen. To access this feature, simply navigate to the Burger Menu located on the respective screens. With this new functionality, managing multiple enrolments is easier than ever before.

To update trainers for multiple enrolments simultaneously, begin by selecting the tick boxes next to the student numbers from the grid. After making your selections, click on the Update Trainer option from the burger menu. A convenient pop-up window will appear, displaying the selected enrolment numbers alongside a dropdown menu of available trainers. you can choose the desired trainer from the dropdown list according to your specific requirements. Once you have made your selection, hit the Update button to confirm the changes. The system will then automatically refresh the screen, seamlessly taking you back to the respective listing screen.

NOTE – Once you have successfully updated the trainer in bulk using our convenient feature, the system takes care of automatically updating the changes across all relevant screens. This includes the Edit Enrolment Details screen, where you can find the updated trainer information for each enrolment. Additionally, the Training Plan and Results screen will also reflect the latest trainer assignments, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records.

IMPORTANT – Let’s explore the three different scenarios of how the Update Trainer in bulk feature operates:

Scenario 1, when there is no trainer currently linked to the enrolments, and you proceed to update the trainer in bulk for those specific enrolments, the system acts swiftly and efficiently. It simultaneously updates all the selected enrolments with the newly assigned trainer, ensuring seamless integration and accurate records.

Scenario 2 involves enrolments that already have a trainer linked, visible on both the Edit Enrolment Detail and Training Plan & Results screens. In this case, when attempting to update the trainer for these enrolments in bulk, the system identifies that no changes are necessary. As a result, it retains the existing trainer assignments and does not update anything on the selected enrolments.

Scenario 3, suppose the trainer is already associated with the enrolment and appears on the Training Plan and Results screen for certain subjects. If you choose to update the trainer for this enrolment in bulk, the system intelligently updates only those subjects where the trainer was not previously linked.

New Feature – Main Dashboard – Email/SMS Sent Tile

In our previous update, we introduced version 1 of the Email Sent tile on the Main Dashboard. Now, we have introduced a significant enhancement by including SMS Sent data alongside the Email Sent information.

The main dashboard now features a consolidated tile – Email/SMS Sent, providing you with a more comprehensive overview of your communication activities. The tile displays the number of Emails and SMS messages sent, making it easier for you to track your outreach efforts in one centralised location.

To access the SMS Sent listing screen, click on the number within the SMS Sent section of the tile. This listing screen offers a detailed and comprehensive list of all the emails and SMS sent to various recipients. You can easily access essential information, like the Message Date, Recipient Type, Template Name, and the respective sender Username.

One of the key enhancements is that you now have the ability to view the content of the sent SMS messages directly from the listing screen. By clicking on the View icon under the actions column, you can preview the SMS content conveniently.

Email Template Screen – New Font Size Option

We are pleased to announce that a new font size option has been implemented on the Email Template Screen. With this latest enhancement, you now have the ability to adjust your font size seamlessly, allowing you to switch between smaller and bigger font sizes effortlessly.

This new feature offers increased flexibility and customisation for your email templates, ensuring that you can tailor your messages to suit your preferences and needs. Whether you prefer a more compact font or a larger, more prominent one, the choice is now yours.
