Document access control

Document access control enhances the existing system for managing access to documents. Now when an applicant, agent, or admissions officer attempts to access documents, the documents available are filtered based on the users' permissions related to specific document categories.

The new reference data Document category defines types of documents that need access to be managed. Document categories also define document types with sensitive data. If a document category is set for sensitive data, then this will be highlighted in the areas where permissions are configured, serving as an additional reminder to handle these permissions with extra caution.

New immigration workflow actions and conditions

The following new immigration workflow actions and conditions are now available:

Action SetVisaSponsorshipStatus

Allows users to create a workflow which sets the 'Visa sponsorship status' on an application based on different conditions. For example, updating the Visa sponsorship status to Eligible when clearance checks have passed. It is not possible to set the Visa sponsorship status to or from Joint sponsorship.

Condition HasCASRequestStatus

Allows users to create a workflow based on the CAS request associated with the application being a certain status, such as Assigned. If an application has multiple CAS requests associated with it, the condition checks the current CAS and not any historic ones.

Custom event CAS request assigned

Allows users to trigger a workflow based on the CAS request associated with an application being assigned a CAS number. For example, creating a workflow to set the Completion state to Sent to enrolment when the CAS number has been assigned. If an application has multiple CAS requests associated with it, the event triggers for the current CAS only. If an application has joint sponsorship, the event triggers for both the main and the joint application.
