Currently, when schools email multiple prepared references (e.g., 10–20+) rather than use the reference portal link, each reference must be manually uploaded to the corresponding applicant's profile. This process requires opening each profile, accessing the reference form, uploading the file, and marking it as received—resulting in inefficiency. When dealing with between 500-750+ applicants for one year group, this is virtually impossible.
Requested Change:
Enable OA users to click and log into the individual schools' reference portal and:
  1. Drag and drop multiple reference files directly into the corresponding applicants’ profiles.
  2. Automatically mark references as received upon upload.
This streamlined process will save significant time and reduce administrative workload.
