This guide shows how to use the Admission Enquiry workspace inside Front Office.
Short summary
Admission enquiries are the starting point for many admissions follow-ups. The workspace keeps the lead list, status filters, and enquiry drawer together so front office and admissions staff can track the same record from first contact through follow-up.
Before you start
- Confirm the source list already contains the values you need.
- Confirm the target class exists if the enquiry is linked to a class interest.
- Collect the contact details and follow-up note before creating the record.
Navigation path
Front Office -> Admission Enquiry
Step 1: Open the Admission Enquiry workspace
Go to Front Office in the sidebar and select Admission Enquiry.
Use this page to:
- review active and historical enquiry leads
- filter by class, source, status, and date range
- follow up on active prospects
- open an existing enquiry for review or edit
Step 2: Create or update an enquiry
Click Add Enquiry to open the drawer.
Complete the main fields:
- Name
- Contact
- Address
- No. of Children
- Source
- Reference
- Class
- Assigned To
- Date
- Follow-up Date
- Description
- Note
Use Create Enquiry to save the record. If the contact number already exists, the drawer may warn about a duplicate enquiry before you continue.
Step 3: Review the saved record
After saving:
- Return to the list view.
- Use the filters to narrow the enquiry set.
- Confirm the status, class interest, and source are correct.
- Open the row again if you need to edit or delete it.
Important notes
Important: Admission enquiries are not just a contact list. They are the operational lead record that admissions staff use for follow-up and conversion tracking.
Verification checklist
- The enquiry uses the correct source and class interest.
- The follow-up date is set before the record is handed off.
- The saved row appears in the Admission Enquiry table.
Expected result: admission leads are logged in Front Office and ready for follow-up.
