# How Do I Track Student Document Submissions, Like Transcripts?

You track document submissions by defining a required document set per student, then flagging any file that isn't yet complete against that checklist. On **Jestor**, this runs through required document fields on the student **table**.

A student file reviewed only when a specific document is urgently needed, rather than proactively checked for completeness, risks discovering a gap at the worst possible moment.

## What reactive document checking costs

- Missing documents discovered only when urgently needed, at the worst moment
- No proactive way to see which student files aren't yet fully complete
- Compliance risk from files missing documents that should have been collected
- Time spent reactively chasing down a document instead of catching the gap early

## How tracking student document submissions works

- A required **document set** is defined for every student's complete file
- The system flags any file missing one or more required documents
- Staff can proactively follow up on gaps instead of discovering them reactively
- A dashboard shows overall completeness across the whole student body

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Proactive flagging catches gaps before they're urgently needed and missing
- This reduces compliance risk from incomplete student files
- Consolidated completeness visibility supports organized, proactive follow-up
- This scales from a small school to one with a large student body

| Reactive document checking  | Proactive completeness flagging |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Gaps discovered when urgent | Flagged in advance              |
