Schoolworks has a set of comprehensive features to help manage capturing visa information and reporting status and compliance problems.
Visa Record
Visa records can be created to record each visa a student has. Schoolworks can record multiple visas per student if needed.
Visa records are created via the Student Account record - Visa section - 'New Visa' button

Compliance Calculation Fields
There are a set of visa compliance calculation fields which are automatically maintained on the Enrolment record, and can be used in Reports, Dashboards and Workflow alerts in order to manage overall visa compliance for your school.
The compliance fields available from the Enrolment object are:
Visa Is Valid
Ticked if there is complete coverage of the enrolment by all valid visas where there are no gaps, and the visa status is set to Approved - Seen.
(This can be customised in the Status object if you see your systems administrator and adjust the Status Complete status)
Visa is valid Today
Ticked if the visa is valid today. Useful in conjunction with Visa Is Valid as this might be unticked, but Visa Valid Today is ticked, so we have a problem in the future.
Visa Days To Expire
If Visa is Valid is not ticked, then this value is the number of days between now and when the student's visa will expire
Visa Types
A string of the visas whose dates match (or cross) the enrolment period. Useful to understand which visas (multiples included) are in use across the enrolment period.
Visa Type Today
The singular visa which is valid today
Reports
There will be visa compliance setup with your installation of Schoolworks. Search for the word 'Visa' in the reports system.
Quick tip: You can create your own report by using the Enrolment Report Type, setting Enrolment Start Date/End Date filters - OR the Course Literal field to (say) 'THIS WEEK' and adding the compliance fields above.
