Using the journal notes, the system would attach notes with the inquiry. Now, the inquiry would be assigned to the admission officer, guest service officer and financial planning officer. The system would save inquiry listing criteria and inquiry listing views.
After that, the system would track the contact (which required the information). Now, the system would run validation rules on inquiry. In return, it would allow the system to execute the workflow of:
- Inquiry and then change inquiry status
- Triggered emails and text messages
- Scheduled appointments
.
Additionally, the log was maintained for the actions that were performed on inquiry record.
