Previous Application Notification

RocketSCAN can display a notification when a student on the application you are currently validating already has an application on file. The notification will indicate if the application is from the current school year or a previous school year.

First, the feature needs to be enabled under your Validation User Preferences.

With the Validation module open, click on the User Preferences button near the top (or hit the F4 key on your keyboard) and ensure the box for Display previous year notification for students is checked.

As you match students to their known student number, RocketSCAN will also check for other applications in your database that have that same student number. If that student has an application in RocketSCAN from the current school year, you will see “This student has another application for the current year” in large blue text across the screen for a few seconds.

“This student has an application for a previous year.” will appear instead if RocketSCAN found an application for that student number from a previous school year.

When you have completed the Student section, you can click on the Related applications tab to view the known previous applications per student. The school year for each application is displayed below the image’s thumbnail.

Double-click on a thumbnail to view that application’s image in a separate window.

You can return to the Application tab to compare the images.

Now you have what you need to determine your next steps!

If the current application contains the same information as a previously processed application from the current school year, you can skip processing it. Instead, use the Delete Application button to remove it from the Validation queue.
