CAS processing actions in Actions list
|
Staff can now view CAS processing related actions in the actions of a desk.
A new CAS section has been added to the key processing actions, which enables staff to view when an application is ready for preparing for a CAS and when it is ready for a CAS to be created. Applications appear in the Prepare for CAS and Create CAS actions when the relevant criteria are met. For example, using the Visa sponsorship status, offer and acceptance status of the application, and for Create CAS specifically, when the current date is within six months of the course start date.
Staff require the UK Visa Sponsorship - View permission to view these actions.
Attention.
Administrators in the UK must ensure that only the UK permissions are enabled. If incorrect permissions are set up, then staff could see content not relevant to them and also see applications in duplicate actions.
