Your goals are:

Use a single entry point for the entire campaign
Compare the performance of each portal or website

Offer discounts

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Assume your institution wants to provide a 10% discount on the application fee as part of a promotional campaign.

To do this, we will create a tracker that will function as a reference code. When users enter this code during registration or application, DreamApply will automatically apply the discount and show it on their invoice.

Before you begin

Make sure your account has the Superuser role. In a real case, roles can be configured differently.
Make sure at least one programme is properly set up in the programme catalog.
Make sure at least one invoice template and invoice series are properly set up in the Finance module.

Calculate compensation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Assume your institution works with Advisors to help recruit applicants. You want to track which applicants they have brought and calculate their compensation based on results — such as how many applicants were enrolled.

To do this, we will set up an Advisor account with a dedicated tracker, register new users through the Advisor and generate reports showing their performance.
