What this category's data looks like
In self-funded study abroad application services, material drafting and responsibility handover revolve around three types of materials: the study abroad service contract, the school application form, and the personal statement. The contract comes from negotiation and finalization between the service provider and the applicant, and is updated as the service stage progresses; the application form is issued by the target institution and updated by application round; the personal statement is drafted jointly by the applicant and the advisor and iterated based on feedback. Field characteristics center on name, quantity, date, signature, and receipt: the service items and amounts in the contract, the courses and deadlines in the application form, and the experiences and timeline in the personal statement must remain consistent across the two materials. When materials enter the form input node, their roles differ: the contract provides responsibility and fee fields, the application form provides institution and round fields, and the personal statement provides experience and version fields, all submitted as field values for subsequent nodes or manual processing.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the form input node (interaction node) in the workflow, which outputs the field values filled in by the user (passed to subsequent nodes after submission). "Issuable material drafts and handover records" are completed by subsequent nodes or manually. After the form input node is triggered, the conversation enters an interactive state and records the workflow state. After the user fills in the required items and submits, the form information is passed to subsequent nodes for use.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Study abroad service contract | Whether the name, quantity, date, and signature are consistent with the application form | Check field names and required markers one by one in the formInput node, and after submission have subsequent nodes reference the field and run a trial |
| School application form | Whether the course name, application round, and deadline match the contract dates | Check that form fields correspond one-to-one with material fields, and check whether submission is possible when required items are empty |
| Personal statement | Whether the experience timeline and version number are synchronized with the contract and application form | Check that the version and date are consistent, and confirm whether submission is blocked when a signature or receipt is missing |
formInput | Whether subsequent nodes can retrieve the corresponding field values after submission | Check field names one by one in the node configuration, reference the field with userSelect, and run a trial |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the contract and the application form. Cause: The two are filled in separately, not checked against the same field name and version, and after submission they directly enter subsequent nodes.
- Symptom: The personal statement version is not synchronized, and the old draft and final draft are mixed. Cause: The form only receives field values and does not automatically identify material content, and the version and date are not unified before submission.
- Symptom: The contract lacks a signature or receipt, and the handover record is incomplete. Cause: Required markers do not cover the signature and receipt fields, and after submission subsequent nodes cannot retrieve the corresponding values.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance for this feature: fill in once and submit, check the field values retrieved by subsequent nodes, and confirm that field passing after formInput submission is normal and that userSelect references are valid.
Business test: draft one copy according to the template and complete one handover, and see whether missing items are blocked.
- Check field names and required markers one by one in the node configuration, and confirm that key material fields are marked as required.
- Reference the
formInputResultfield in subsequent nodes and run a trial, and confirm that the corresponding field values can be retrieved after submission.
