EUCLID Demonstration

Aim The aim of this demonstration is to provide a preview of the new EUCLID software for the following postgraduate application tasks: Application Work flow process Retrieval Navigation Viewing applicant communications Documentation Requests Requesting academic review PGR Supervisor requests

System Changes Phase 1: Changes apply to Administration, Academic & View only EUCLID roles only (Start Oct) Phase 2: Changes to Application portal Phase 3: Changes to Application form

New Work Flow  Each change of code will be recorded with the code / date and time / staff member responsible so that it can be viewed against the application and it can be reported on in Business Objects. Once an application has gone through a stage then it can go back to a previous stage in the workflow; however, this needs to be for a valid reason (such as change programme or year or something which fundamentally changes on the application). The Hold process statuses are available for selection at any time.
