Adding agent relationships to students

A relationship must exist before an agent can invoice for introducing the student to your organisation and enrolling them in one or more of your courses. There are two methods of adding a student-agent relationship:

• Relations tab of Current Student Maintenance. This is the traditional method of adding a relationship.
• Agent tab of Course Details Maintenance. This method has been added to speed up the process.

Tip: You can launch the Course Details Maintenance window from the button on the Course Maintenance - Students tab.
