Just like a well-worn pair of shoes, your admission process may have started off working well for your school—it fit perfectly and matched up well with your needs at the time. Over time, as your school has evolved, it has become clear that you are outgrowing your current process once again.

The Leads Management with Tasks tool is an admissions module that allows you to keep track of prospective students (“leads”) from the first inquiry through the application and visitation phases and on through enrollment. You can set up your own workflow that conforms to your school’s admissions process, creating and assigning tasks for each team member to complete in order to keep the admissions process flowing from beginning to end.

Leads Reporting is a reporting engine for the Leads module that lets you get real-time enrollment and re-enrollment numbers and view those numbers in a table format or visually in a chart format, including historical comparisons.

The Calendars & Events tool is a powerful and flexible calendar program that is built right into BigSIS. It allows for multiple sub-calendars, each with their own events. You will also have the option to make public and private sub-calendars by controlling the viewing permissions of your calendar users.

The DocumentCenter allows you to upload unlimited documents in any format (PDF, JPEG, MS Word, etc.), for parents or other users to download and view. It will also be where reports, such as transcripts and the student reports, are output in PDF format that are then automatically shared with the parents of the students (at your discretion) via the portal.

Online Contracts is another seamless extension of the new Leads module.
