New
TCSI - Multiple Admission Bases
Up to two values can now be selected in the Admission Basis field on VET Student Loans or Higher Education enrolments. Multiple values will be reported to TCSI.
There are two Breaking API changes:
- When retrieving, creating or updating enrolments through the API, the client-vet-student-loans/admission-basis element has been changed to admission-bases. This is now a list of multiple admission-basis elements, instead of a single value. This is a breaking change if you are using this field in the API.
- Fixed an issue when retrieving records from the enrolments resource in the API (in JSON format) that caused the VET Student Loans fields to be in the enrolment element. The VET Student Loans fields will now be in a client-vet-student-loans sub-element, for consistency with enrolment update, the XML format, and the documentation.
New Feature - VIC Auto-Update Enrolment Identifiers
The VIC Auto-Enrolment Identifiers feature has been added to the SMS. When this feature is enabled, the SMS will automatically update Victorian enrolment identifiers used in Victorian AVETMISS reporting, when any of the key fields are changed. This feature will initially be used for Student Enrolment Identifiers (SEIDs), with changes to Program Enrolment ID functionality to come in a future release.
The key changes are:
- When the VIC-Auto-Enrolment Identifiers feature is enabled, SEIDs used in Victorian AVETMISS reporting will be automatically derived from eight student enrolment fields: Student Number, Unit Code, Purchasing Contract Number, Course Commencement Date, Course Code, Associated Course Code, Unit Start Date and Program Enrolment Identifier.
- The new format SEID will be a 40-character hexadecimal identifier generated via a hash algorithm.
- A new SEID will be automatically created when any of the eight fields change. If a field is reverted to its original value, the original SEID will be restored.
- The SEID will be created at the time of running a Victorian AVETMISS or Claims Report, then stored against the unit.
- Changes have been made to the Victorian State related fields on the SMS Enrolment > Unit > Advanced screen, including:
- Renaming of the existing Enrolment Identifier field to Subject Enrolment Identifier.
- Addition of a new Auto-update Enrolment Identifier flag, to allow users with the appropriate access to control whether automated SEID updates occur on an individual unit.
- On the edit screen, relocation of these fields from the Resources to State Specific section.
To turn this feature on, please contact please contact your Client Success Manager or Customer Support.

Improved
Victorian AVETMISS – Defaulting Commenced While at School field.
Victorian enrolments created via the Enrolment API will now automatically derive the Course Commenced While At School flag from the student record’s current At School flag.
Service Group Applications – Export to CSV file
The Service Group Applications page now allows you to export to a CSV file, in addition to the existing XLS spreadsheet.
eCAF Manager
The eCAF Manager page now has an option to Sync eCAF for each eCAF record on the page. This allows you to sync the eCAF data for that individual record at any time.
Enrolment API
We have added the Unit ID to be specified in the Enrolment update API endpoint. Previously, units were only being updated by matching unit codes.
Victorian VSN Exporter
We have updated the Victoria VSN exporter to only include enrolments that have at least one reportable outcome in the Activity Month.
Your Community
We have added a new filter to the Your Community page to allow searching of Portal logins. This could be useful in cases where the user is trying to find where an email address has been used.
Victorian AVETMISS Outcome Identifier 79 mapped to 70 when the reporting state is not Victoria
New logic has been added for the Outcome Identifier - National field in the NAT00120 file, as part of AVETMISS and Claims Reports. When generating AVETMISS or Claims Reports for any state except Victoria, any outcomes of 79 (employer signoff or a practical placement) will be automatically mapped to 70 (continuing enrolments). Outcome 79 is only used in Victorian reporting.
