This screen displays the requests raised by students and staff from the screen “New Request”. The handling of these requests follows a step-by-step process, where each request is addressed one step at a time.

For example, if a student raises a request for bonafide certificate. Initially, the request is directed to the department head for review. The department head carefully examines the request, ensuring its authenticity and relevance. If the request meets the necessary criteria, the department head provides approval.

Once approved, the request is forwarded to the institution's office, where an office admin takes charge. The office admin diligently reviews the request, verifying all required details and compliance. Upon successful verification, the office admin gives the green light for further processing.

Next, the approved request enters the certificate printing phase, where the bonafide certificate is produced with accurate information. After the printing process is complete, the student is promptly notified to collect their certificate from the institution's office.
