Incorrect registration / enquiry numbers on a course

Friday, Feb 8, 2019 by Scott Spence Course Date, Enquiry, Registration

CourseSales.com keeps track of the total registrations and enquiries on a course. The total is adjusted when a process step is applied to a document, eg if a step ‘Registration’ has the Effect on Registrations value of ‘Registered’ then that increases the number of registrations on the course date by one. If however the Effect on Registrations is ‘Registration Cancelled’ then the registrations on the course date decreases by one. The value of Registered documents is important as it shows on the course list (see below), is used to calculate if the course should display on the website.

Import Enrolment and Client Records

Wednesday, May 10, 2017 by Scott Spence Import, Registration, Contact, AVETMISS

In CourseSales.com there is integrated support for importing enrolments (documents, and document topics) and clients (contacts) using spreadsheets.

Each SMS uses complex data models, they determine data relationships by using business rules at the point of data entry.
