Intrinsiq How it Works - Host Family Visits

Let’s start with why it is necessary for a school management system to have a host family function. A host family function can be an important component of a school management system, particularly for schools with a high number of international students. The role of a host family function is to match students with local families who are willing to host them during their time at school.

Here’s how it works

This is divided into two parts.

Part 1:

Step 1: Go to Accommodation>Accommodation Search>Choose Family

Step 2: Go to Accommodation Visit> Add Entry

Step 3: Enter Date, Time and Visit By then Hit ‘Refresh’

Part 2:

Step 4: Dashboard alerts you of the visit in that current week

Step 5: During the visit - Log on from your phone on Intrinsiq

Step 6: Go to the Accommodation Visit Entry

Step 7: Mark all the necessary checkboxes, write any reviews

Step 8: Mark if followup is required

Step 9: Once the visit is completed, check the ‘Visit Complete‘ mark and enter the completion date. System saves data automatically

What is the role of this function?

This function serves as a way to book visits while on call with new and existing host families and homestay hosts. This enables the schools to set dates and times for visits and also to track any visits you have in that current week through the dashboard, so as not to lose track of appointments you’ve made.

Reviews can be updated in real time

Schools can update homestay host reviews live during the visit. That way they can rest assured that they do not forget any of the information in the time it takes to get back to the office and to their computer. The school can inform Intrinsiq in advance if there are any features that need to be added and we can make sure to add them.
