Create an Admissions event
Admissions visits include Open Days, Taster Days, Stay & Play, and individual/private visits and tours
Create one visit per event.
This will enable you to easily view the applicants attached to the event (and their status), manage and print the attendee list and contacts list, and to email contacts all together.
There are two methods of creating an event.
1. Via iSAMS Admissions/Marketing/Manage
2. Via iSAMS Admissions/Applicants
Method 1
Navigate to the Marketing tab and to Manage Admissions Visits
Click on the category you would like to work with
Use the search function to check your event doesn't already exist.
Use the Add Quick Visit function to add your event.
Name: Use the naming convention YEAR MONTH DATE - NAME OF EVENT (2024 10 25 - Open Day) - this will make the event easier to find and apply to applicants.
Category: Select the appropriate category from the list.
Notes: as appropriate (staff involved, year groups etc)
Start/End Date; Start/Finish Time: as appropriate
Mark All Attended: If you tick "mark all attended", any applicants linked to the visit are automatically linked as attending - this ensures attendees are included in visit statistics. You can go back to edit the attendee list following the event via the visit, or an applicant's profile (visits tab).
Save!
Method 2
Navigate to the Applicants tab and Custom Search.
Find an applicant/bring up a list in your usual way. Select names using the left-hand check boxes, or select all at the top.
Use the pink drop-down to "add to new event" (A previous event is one that already exists on iSAMS).
