Build Segment Automation Workflows

Revolutionise your outreach strategy by harnessing the flexibility of our sophisticated segmentation builder to send automatic communications tailored to a myriad of criteria, either singularly or in tandem. Options span nationality, source profile, lifecycle state, associated classes, last login date, application completion rate, and beyond—targeting possibilities are almost endless!

Crafting a segment workflow is straightforward: just head to the shared segments page, open an existing segment or create a new one, adjust the segmentation rules as needed, and then move on to the "Automation" tab (positioned after "Builder"). Here, you'll find all the tools you need to create an automation workflow.

Several actions are available: "Send email to profile," "Send email to staff," "Send SMS message to profile" (requires integration with Bird), "Add tag to profile," and "Wait."

The new "Workflow" filter on the list of shared segments is the icing on the cake. With options for "Has a workflow" and "Does not have a workflow," this filter permits the quick identification and access of segments that are actively engaging with profiles versus those intended for consultation only.

Submit completed evaluations

It is now possible to submit evaluations to mark them as finished, thus helping evaluators discern which evaluations still need their attention. When you click the new Submit button in the upper right-hand corner (visible only to the evaluation's assignee), the system automatically verifies if the field entries are valid and if all of the compulsory fields are filled out. If the submission is successful, it will be reflected in the evaluation's Summary; otherwise, an error message will be returned indicating the cause of the failure. After an evaluation is submitted, the Submit button is promptly replaced by an Unsubmit one (only visible to the assignee as well).
For data security reasons, individual evaluations may only be submitted and unsubmitted by the person to whom they're assigned; team evaluations, however, can be submitted and unsubmitted by anyone.

ORIGIN Applications

Immediately gauge the state of an evaluation

To complement the ability to submit and unsubmit evaluations, we introduced a State property to the Summary pane, which allows you to ascertain at a glance whether an evaluation is started or submitted.

Filter evaluations by the ones assigned to you

There is a new My Evaluations tab on the overview pages for evaluation templates, which only displays the evaluations that have been assigned to the person visiting it, making it extremely easy for evaluators to identify which specific evaluations fall under their purview. It also makes it more practical for evaluators to get started on them because they're able to access the evaluations directly from the tab, as well as the applicants' profiles and applications.

ORIGIN Applications

Filter evaluations by state

Evaluation template overview pages now have a state widget, identical to the one in application template overview pages. As a result, you can filter any list of evaluations by STARTED or SUBMITTED to see only profiles with ongoing or completed evaluations, respectively. This includes the My Evaluations tab.

ORIGIN Applications

View additional information about the evaluations in a list

In light of the recent developments, two brand new columns, Evaluation state and Assigned to, are now available in evaluation lists, including the My Evaluations tab. They're located in the section Other. Evaluation state discloses whether a certain evaluation has been Started or Submitted, while Assigned to shares the first and last names of the person in charge of it.

Limit who someone can send campaigns to

Henceforth, when building an access scope for a staff member or team, you'll be presented with the question Apply access scope everywhere or only to campaigns?, whereby you'll have to pick between Only to campaigns and Apply everywhere (the default setting). As the name suggests, defining that an access scope should apply Only to campaigns merely restricts who someone can send emails to; it's intended for staff members or teams with particular duties or procedures that require them to have access to all profiles but be able to email only a subset of them.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

New email substitution tags

There are four new email substitution tags for events: Event location, Event address, Event start date and Event end date, providing a higher degree of flexibility in the creation of shared email templates.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Trigger event automated workflows by doing an import

As of now, so long as the workflow conditions are met, importing people into an event with automated workflows always triggers the respective automated workflows for the imported participants, regardless of whether they're new registrations or old registrations being updated.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Map data to an event

When importing into an event, you may now map data directly to the fields of the event registration form. Previously, although you could add participants to an event, you could only map any personal data in the CSV file to the profile Info tab.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Event registration response workflows only executed before the event end date

Currently, event automation workflows for registration responses are only ever triggered before, not after, the event end date. Consequently, any time you add participants to an event retroactively, the participants in question won't be sent the emails in the registration response workflows.

FOUNDATION CRM Language

New text for the email verification banner

For the sake of clarity, we changed the text that's displayed in the email verification banner from "Please verify email and spam ∙ Click here to resend verification" to "Please check your inbox for a verification email ∙ Click here to resend the verification email", and, after the email has been sent, "Verification email sent ∙ Please check your inbox for a verification email". Likewise, the translations to Danish, Dutch, French, German and Spanish were accordingly redone.

Set up dependencies for courses in the programme choice field

Field dependencies can now be set up for the courses selected in the programme choice field, just as they already could for classes.

Adjustments to the programme choice field

We removed the options Map to field, Who can edit this field? and Who can see this field? from the programme choice field to eliminate redundancies.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Search for profiles on the list of event registrations

We've added a search field above the list of event registrations to help you easily find a specific profile and update its' attendance and/or event response.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Save views on the list of event registrations

The ability to save views – more concretely, custom combinations of columns and/or segment rules –, has been extended to the list of event registrations. Please read this article to learn more about saved views.

ORIGIN APPLICATIONS

New location for the program choice selector

The programme choice selector has been moved from the application Details tab to inside the Programme Choice field editor. In the Details tab, you're still asked to define whether or not applicants need to choose a specific program for that particular template; however, if you select Yes, the actual programme selection takes place elsewhere – namely, when you add the Programme Choice field to one of the application tabs, as the settings now include the button Edit products, through which you can link the aforementioned field to the relevant classes and courses.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead management

Distinguish between classes and courses on the Product Performance report

The Product Performance has a new column, Type, which indicates if a product is a Class or a Course. The new column is disabled by default, but if your school offers non-degree training courses and you're interested in it, please get it touch with us.

New distance-based due date options for payment plan fees

It's presently possible to configure the due date of a payment plan fee to be tied to the start date of the class or course for which the payment plan was created. More specifically, when you pick DISTANCE as the DUE DAY TYPE and input a number of DAYS, two new reference points are available under FROM: Before class/course start date and After class/course start date.

ORIGIN FINANCE

Disable the payment plan published notification for candidates

If you've set payment plans to be automatically published upon the application submission, you can ask our team to disable the default system email that notifies candidates that their payment plan was published, in favor of including that information in the application submission confirmation email; that way, applicants only receive one email instead of two.

ORIGIN APPLICATIONS

New deletion permissions

Staff teams can now be given permission to autonomously delete programs, classes and subjects. Please contact us if you are interested, but bear in mind that authorization from someone in management is required before the aforementioned permission is extended to new teams.

ORIGIN FINANCE

Create discount templates for payment plan templates

We've introduced the ability to create discount templates within payment plan templates in the new Discount templates tab to determine the discounts that are available for a particular payment plan, as well as their details (for instance, discount amount, which fees the discount applies to, and so on). The discounts can be automatically applied by the system, or manually by candidates using discount codes.

ORIGIN FINANCE

Associate payment plan templates to classes

Payment plans can now be linked to specific classes and courses by selecting the relevant classes and/or courses in the payment plan Details tab.

ORIGIN FINANCE

Set up a “Payment plan” tab inside an application template

It's currently possible to add a Payment plan tab to an application template so that applicants may choose an appropriate payment plan for their program and class of choice. The list of available payment plans is based on which payment plans were linked to the program and class in question. The tab also allows staff to provide useful information, such as how to make payments and when to expect invoices (just two mention two examples), as well as to define whether the payment plan should be automatically published upon the application being submitted and whether discount codes are accepted.

ORIGIN FINANCE

Generate letters with payment plan information

You can now incorporate payment plan data into letters by inserting the merge field =payment_plans into the letter template. The aforementioned merge field will be populated with the primary details of the corresponding payment plan(s), namely the list of fees, due dates and amounts.

Create profile fields exclusive to contacts and lecturers

It's currently possible to configure a field in the profile Info tab to only be visible to contacts and lecturers, if it's only meant for them. This is an Admin-only feature, so get in touch with us to apply it.

ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION

Two-factor authentication now remember browsers and devices

To balance security with convenience for users who have two-factor authentication (2FA) on, submitting two different authentication factors is no longer required every time someone logs in, as browsers and devices are now remembered for 30 days. If, however, you log in from a different browser or device, the code will be asked again. For those who don't know, 2FA is a two-step process that requires two proofs of identity – one's password and a verification code sent by SMS –, to sign in to Full Fabric. More information on 2FA, including how to activate it for your account, can be found here.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead Management

New reports accessible through class pages

Two new tabs were introduced to class pages: Conversion, which leads to the Product Conversion Report, and Overview, which leads to the Product Overview Report. When accessed via a class page, the reports in question are pre-filtered with information from the respective class, unlike when they're accessed via the Analytics option in the sidebar.

FOUNDATION CRM Emails

Email activity displayed in the "Latest activity" feed

Email-related activity is now displayed in the profile Latest activity tab, giving staff greater visibility into the emails sent to candidates and candidates' interactions with them. This includes one-to-one emails, campaigns, some system emails (namely the application submission confirmation, the double opt-in confirmation, the event registration confirmation and event reminders), and automated workflow emails set up through the actions Send email to profile and Send letter to profile.

ADVANCED SECURITY

FOUNDATION CRM Events

Capture data and marketing consent when adding a participant to an event

When adding a participant to an event, staff can now mark their data processing consent and marketing policy agreement, as the fields Data processing consent, Marketing policy, Source of consent and Date of consent have been added and made required.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead management

Interface improvements

We've been fine-tuning the new interface that's been gradually implemented throughout Full Fabric. Consequently, it's now possible to view long names in multi-select and single-select filters (the text is split across two or more lines); all of the pages have browser tab titles (for example, Subjects :: Name of School, Segments :: Name of School, and so on); and last, but not least, when visiting General settings, navigating to Institution and then clicking Subjects, the latter will henceforth open on the same browser tab instead of opening a new one.

ORIGIN Finance

Create a payment plan for a course

It's now possible to create a payment plan for a profile's course journey – in other words, to associate it with a subject and a course instead of with a program and a class, both manually and through automated workflows. If you'd like to know more, get in touch with us.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead Management

Improvements to the search function

We've improved the search function to provide better and more effective results. For one, exact matches are now prioritized over partial matches more efficaciously, as well as first name, last name and email address; therefore, if you search by first and last name together or just by email address, the corresponding profile will always be displayed at the top of the list. Secondly, results are now sorted by relevance to the search term instead of in alphabetical order to help you quickly find the most pertinent information. Everything else remains the same.

FOUNDATION CRM Automations, Events and Forms

Set up automated workflows to be triggered by a group of specific answers

You can now set up automated workflows to be triggered by a selection of the possible answers to a dropdown or checkbox question, as submitted in a form or event registration. To do so, just access the Automation tab, click Add another condition, choose a dropdown or checkbox field and select the relevant values. Accordingly, the workflow will then be triggered for all of the submissions that match any of the selected values. It was previously necessary to set up a separate workflow for every value, so being able to select multiple values at once is a huge time saver.

FOUNDATION CRM Automations, Events and Forms

Apply the OR logic to the conditions of an automated workflow

We've introduced the OR logic to forms and events, thus enabling you to contain more conditions to the same workflow. Simply access the Automation tab, add two or more conditions and then tap AND to switch it to OR.

FOUNDATION CRM Automations, Events and Forms

Automatically update profile states

From now on, for automations involving a profile state transition through the Add profile to class action, if the profile's already in that class but in a lower lifecycle state, their lifecycle state will still be updated, such as to mark leads as qualified. Just add the Add profile to class action as usual and the system will do the rest for you.

FOUNDATION CRM Automations and Events

Set up event registration notification emails for staff

We've introduced the ability to automatically notify staff whenever a new event registration is received. The notification email includes a link to the registrant's profile, a link to all of the registrations for the event and a reproduction of the submitted data. To set it up, open an event, navigate to the Automation tab, choose the action Send event registration notification to and pick a staff user.

FOUNDATION CRM Events

More information displayed on the list of events

For the sake of convenience, the event Location is now always displayed on the list of events below the event name. You may also add a column for Notes, so if that's something you'd like, let us know and we'll enable it for you.

If you have the Industry module, henceforth, whenever you open the Latest activity tab of an organization, not only will you be able to see its most recent activity, but also that of its contacts. To accomplish this, simply select the filter Organizations & contacts; alternatively, if you only wish to see the contacts' activity, use the filter All contacts.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead Management

Sign-up forms validated straight away

Until now, errors for the name, email address and password of a new registrant were only displayed after the privacy policy was accepted, because profile creations are only validated when the privacy policy is included and the privacy policy used to appear on a separate page. To avoid the delay, the privacy policy is now displayed on the sign-up page, underneath the field Password.

FOUNDATION CRM Lead Management

Empty rows removed from imports

The system is now able to automatically remove empty rows from spreadsheets before they are imported, thereby permitting staff to import data without having to pay such close attention to unintentional formatting.

CORE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Associate subjects with a theme

In order to allow staff to enter more product information in Full Fabric, it's now possible to define themes for subjects and subsequently assign a Theme to a subject when creating or editing one. Typically, a theme will be the overarching academic discipline that encompasses a given subject and any others that are thematically related. For example, subjects such as European History, African History and American History could have History as their respective theme. The field Theme is not enabled by default, so please get in touch with us if you want it.

CORE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Associate a course with an external ID

If you integrate Full Fabric with another service, you're now able to add an External ID when creating or editing a course. The new field is not enabled by default, so please get in touch with us if you're interested in it.

FOUNDATION CRM EMAILS

Track if a system email was sent

Staff now has the ability to directly confirm whether a default system email for an application, a reference request or an event has been dispatched by checking the profile Emails tab of the recipient, where it should be displayed. The aforementioned emails are likewise reflected in the profile Latest activity tab. Formerly, only verification emails were displayed. This development is retroactive, meaning that system emails sent prior to it are also viewable. We expect to make more types of system emails visible in the near future.

FOUNDATION CRM LEAD MANAGEMENT

Add profiles to a course campus

If the campuses feature is enabled for your school, henceforth you'll be able to select a course campus when adding a profile to a class, as the Add to class function will list every class along with all of the viable course and campus combinations (for instance, "MBA February 2022", "MBA February 2022 - London", "MBA February 2022 - Paris", and so on). In turn, the selected campus will be indicated next to the class in any list of profiles where the column STATE is presented.

FOUNDATION CRM LEAD MANAGEMENT

Import profiles to a particular campus

It's now possible to import profiles to a particular campus. To do so, simply include a column with the appropriate campuses in the CSV file that you intend to upload and then map the column in question to the option Campus, under CONTEXT. To learn more about importing data into Full Fabric, please visit our Help Center.

ORIGIN APPLICATIONS

New report to track successful monthly bookings

We introduced a new report to the ALL PROFILES page: Export adjusted global monthly performance. It's an alternate version of the global monthly performance export. In the new report, instead of unsuccessful bookings counting towards the month that they were cancelled (in other words, when a submitted registration was withdrawn), they count towards the month when the registration was initially submitted. In turn, this avoids negative net numbers on months with cancellations and paints a more accurate picture of their performance.

ORIGIN APPLICATIONS

Define the campuses available for each course

It's now possible to associate a specific course with one or more campuses. To do so, simply access the Courses list in General settings and open a course, where you'll find a new Campuses field inside the Basic section (provided that the campuses feature is enabled).

We've introduced a slew of improvements to the lists of subjects and courses in General settings ➝ Institution. Not only do they have a new, cleaner look with improved navigation, but they also boast much faster loading speeds thanks to pagination, and each list comes with a search function to filter the content based on what you enter. More lists will be similarly revamped soon.

ORIGIN APPLICATIONS

Add a sequential ID field to the journey schema

It's now possible to create a unique sequential ID for each profile journey to be used as a reference on official documents and other records. Previously, only a sequential ID for profiles could be generated, which was insufficient for profiles with multiple journeys. The sequential ID allows for the use of a predefined prefix and between 6 to 10 randomized characters (excluding the prefix). This is an Admin-only feature, so get in touch with us if you're interested.

For instance, 27 maart 2021 in Dutch, 27. Mär 2021 in German, 27 March, 2021 in British English, and so on. You can find a complete list of the available languages and merge fields here.

CORE Transcripts

New merge field for custom transcript course names

The custom transcript course name is now referenced via a different merge field from that of course names, since using the same one led to the former overwriting the latter in transcript templates. Therefore, custom transcript course names are now pulled via the merge field =course.custom_transcript_name, whereas course names are keeping the tag =course.name for themselves.

CORE Student Information System

Hide the † and * symbols from transcript templates

Staff can now decide whether or not to display the † and * symbols in a transcript template, achieved in the Details tab of the transcript template. If neither Show reference for final grade (*) nor Show reference for credits (†) is ticked, the symbols won't be visible in printed and downloaded transcripts.
