🔥Study Tours Have Arrived in Next Generation
new New Permission Required
Another major capability has arrived in Next Generation. Study Tours can now be managed directly from the Next Generation platform, bringing together the key tools you need to manage group-based study programs.
Create Study Tour Groups, prepare and issue offers, generate and merge documents, manage Study Tour Enrolments, and oversee financials, all from a single connected workspace. This is the first release of Study Tours in Next Generation, and we'll continue adding new enhancements and capabilities over the coming releases.
🚀 API Version 2: Built for Humans. Ready for AI.
Our new API Version 2 is now available, making it easier than ever to build secure integrations, automate workflows, and develop AI-powered applications. With comprehensive documentation, metadata-rich endpoints, and an AI-friendly design, it's built for both today's developers and tomorrow's intelligent agents.

📋Offers Updates
Choose Custom Booking Date When Accepting an Offer
new Nextgen ONLY
You can now specify a custom Booking Date when accepting an offer.
The selected date will be applied as the Enrolment Booking Date and will also be used as the Invoice Date for all the invoices created through the offer acceptance process. If a custom date is not selected, the date on which the offer is accepted will continue to be used automatically.

Actual Start and Actual End Dates for Offer Units of Study
new
For courses that use Units of Study, two new optional fields have been added: Actual Start Date and Actual End Date.
These fields let you record the dates a unit is expected to actually commence and finish. They are intended for reference purposes only, such as document generation and communications, and do not affect any system calculations that rely on the unit's Start Date and End Date.
Actual dates can be predefined through the Course Intake settings, eliminating the need for manual entry. They can also be overridden for individual Offer Units of Study when required. If no Actual Start or End Dates have been configured, the unit's existing Start Date and End Date are used automatically.
These fields are also available as template bookmarks, allowing you to customise your Offer templates to display the Actual Start and End Dates instead of, or alongside, the standard Units of Study dates.

🗄️Documents Store Update
Publish to Student Portal Option for Student Documents
new
A new Publish to Student Portal option is now available for documents stored against a student.
When enabled, the document becomes available to the student through the Student Portal. You can also control when the document is visible by specifying a Publish From and Publish To date, allowing it to be accessed only during the required publishing period.
