What this category's data looks like
In the authorized access and external services stage of self-funded study abroad application services, the materials are mainly study abroad service contracts, school application forms, and personal statements. The contract contains the scope of services, fees, and signatures of both parties; the application form contains the institution, major, admission intake, and submission date; the personal statement contains the version number, finalization date, and applicant's signature. Material sources are uploaded by the consultant side and supplemented by the parent side, and the update cadence follows the iteration of school selection and document versions. When entering workflow orchestration, the contract serves as the basis for the authorization scope, the application form serves as the source of visible fields, and the personal statement serves as the content disclosed externally; together, the three determine the objects for which the entry point is opened and the visibility boundary.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by workflow nodes (user selection and branching), outputting branch directions and interaction state records. The externally available entry point and authorization scope are completed by subsequent nodes continuing execution according to the branch. When a node is triggered, the conversation enters an interaction state and records the workflow state; after the user completes the selection, execution continues along the branch corresponding to the selected option.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Study abroad service contract | Whether signatures and dates are complete, and whether the authorization scope is consistent with the contract terms | Check the contract signatures, effective date, and authorization clauses one by one, and verify the options and branch connections one by one in the node |
| School application form | Whether the institution, major, admission intake, and contract records are consistent | Compare the application form fields with the contract attachments, reference variables in subsequent nodes, and run a test once |
| Personal statement | Whether the version number, finalization date, and signature correspond to the application form | Check the version number and finalization date, and trigger a check of the node status in the run records |
| User selection node | Whether each option corresponds to one branch, and whether the selection result is passed to subsequent nodes | Check nodeId and branch connections in the node, and after a test run check whether variables take effect |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The same application record has mismatched names and dates in the contract and the application form. Cause: The two materials are maintained by different consultants, and no field-level comparison was performed.
- Symptom: The personal statement version is not synchronized, and the externally disclosed content is inconsistent with the finalized version. Cause: After document iteration, the version number and finalization date were not written back.
- Symptom: The contract lacks a signature or receipt, and the authorization scope cannot be confirmed. Cause: The upload step did not verify the signature page and receipt attachment.
How to verify the setup
Feature acceptance: run a test for each option one by one, check the branch direction and interaction state in the run records, and confirm that nodeId and variables are recorded correctly.
Business test: access once with a restricted identity and see whether the visible scope matches the setting
- Check the options and branch connections one by one in the node, and confirm that each option corresponds to one branch
- Reference the selection result variable in subsequent nodes and run a test once to check whether
variableshave been passed
