Advanced filters and a new summary status field

Advanced filters enhance the ability to filter applications by including every field available in the agent portal grid.

This update also introduces a single field for the application status, which replaces several fields for the application status. The previous fields captured the various statuses an application might go through or end up in as part of its journey through the admissions process. These statuses included, but were not limited to:

• In progress

• Conditional offer: made, accepted, or rejected

• Unconditional offer: made, accepted, or rejected

• Application rejected by the provider

• Application withdrawn by the applicant

• Application processed and sent to enrolment

• Application record closed

Since some of these statuses can operate independently and coexist, it can make it difficult for agents to understand the current state of an application and decide on the necessary next steps. The new derived summary application status field simplifies this for agents.

New application and applicant profile pages can be accessed through the mini-info panel. Some pages are always accessible, while other pages are only available when specific tasks, such as offers, are raised against an application.
