The Offer Timeline

The Timeline is a chronological event feed shown in the sidebar of offer pages in the University view. It gives your team a clear audit trail of what's happened on each offer from application submission through to offer-letter history without needing to go into the full activity log.

The Timeline is offer-specific: each offer has its own independent timeline. It doesn't appear on the Summary page or the Programmes page.

Events recorded

Events are shown in reverse chronological order (newest at the top). Each entry shows a timestamp, an event label, and — where relevant — a link.

Event	When it appears	Notes
Application submitted	When the applicant submitted their application	Always the earliest entry on the timeline
Offer created	When a staff user manually created the offer by adding a new programme	Only logged for staff-created offers, not offers created via applicant submission
Status change	Each time the offer status changes	e.g. Applied → Conditional, Conditional → Unconditional
Offer letter issued	When an offer letter is generated for the first time	Includes a link to open the PDF in a new tab
Offer letter reissued	Each time the offer letter is regenerated	Each version is preserved separately — clicking the link opens that specific historical version, not the latest

Sidebar behaviour

When the Timeline is present, the Applicant Details panel collapses by default to give the timeline more space. Four fields stay visible without expanding:

Student Number
Fee Status
Student Visa
Nationality

Select Show more to expand the full Applicant Details panel.
