New Tuition Amount Fields on Enrolments

Net Tuition Amount: Total Tuition amount excluding the agent commission (gross less commission).
Finance Updates

You can now update the Payer and External Reference fields when creating or editing an invoice.

Update Payer and External Reference fields on Offer Instalments

Templates Updates
New Student Offers and Student Enrolments Grids
NEW NEXTGEN ONLY
Two new grids have been added to templates to display all Offers and all Enrolments of a student.
These grids can be used in the following objects:
Students
Offers
Enrolments
New Overdue Fees Bookmarks and Grids for Enrolments
NEW
New Overdue Fees bookmarks and grids have been added in the Enrolments object. These fields display only the overdue invoices linked to the enrolment.
New Conditional Block Helper
NEW NEXTGEN ONLY
A new template helper, Conditional Block, is now available to give you more control over which content appears in your documents. It compares the value of a selected bookmark against a specific value using a comparison operator.
Unlike the Check Field Value Block helper, Conditional Block lets you define the value to compare against. For example, you can choose to show or hide a section if the enrolment status is not ‘Cancelled’.
For details, see the Conditional section in the following article: Template Helpers
New Comparison Operators for Conditional Value and Conditional Block Helpers
NEW NEXTGEN ONLY
New comparison operators have been added to make Conditional Value and Conditional Value Block helpers even more powerful. In addition to checking for equality or difference, users can now compare values based on whether they are greater or less — including support for dates and numbers.
The new operators are:
eq: Equal tone: Not equal tolt: Less thanlte: Less than or equal togt: Greater thangte: Greater than or equal to
These new operators give you even more flexibility to customise your templates. For example, if you want to display a section only when the enrolment start date is after a certain date, simply use the “greater than” operator.
For more details, see the Conditional section in the following article: Template Helpers
New Dynamic Date Value for Conditional Value and Conditional Block Helpers
NEW NEXTGEN ONLY
A new dynamic value, now, has been added to the Conditional Value and Conditional Block helpers.
Users can use "now" as the Comparison Value when comparing dates to dynamically evaluate a field’s value against the current date.
Communication Updates
New Option on Merge Document and Send Messages: As of Date
NEW
A new, As of Date, option has been added to the Merge Document and Send Messages feature. This option is available for templates that use bookmarks requiring date-based calculations—such as Enrolment Overdue Fees bookmarks and grids.
The selected date will be used during the merge process to calculate values as of that specific date, providing more control and accuracy when generating date-sensitive documents.
