System Features

5dspace is a full self-service portal for MTTS Trust's academic and financial workflows, built with tracked approvals, automated notifications, and safeguards against misuse at every step. A snapshot of what's built in:

Tracked Workflows

Every application - programmes, payments, donations, Overture and InitMath/MTTS/PTMT financial support, alumni participations - moves through a visible Draft → Submitted → Verified → Approved pipeline, so staff always know exactly where a request stands.

Preview Before Submit

Applicants see a full preview of their generated PDF before final submission, so what they confirm is exactly what gets recorded and printed.

Correction Window

Applicants can fix genuine mistakes on a submitted application without restarting the process, with every correction logged alongside the original for full transparency.

Resend Recommendation Requests

If a recommending teacher hasn't responded, applicants can resend the request email directly from their application page instead of waiting on staff to intervene.

Complaint Ticketing System

Users raise issues by component and category - delays, PDF problems, upload failures - with tickets routed to the right reviewers and tracked to resolution.

Weekly Digest Reports

Consolidated weekly emails summarize new Overture financial support submissions and every still-open complaint ticket for reviewers, so nothing has to be checked manually every day.

Instant Submission Notifications

Applicants get an email and in-portal Inbox notification with their generated PDF attached the moment they submit - no separate download step required.

Cloudflare Spam Prevention

Registration and password-recovery pages are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile - a modern, privacy-respecting bot shield - backed by rate-limiting to stop abuse even if a bot slips through.

Full Audit Trail

All approvals, edits, and status changes are recorded, giving reviewers a complete, tamper-evident history of every request.

Role-Based Permissions

Staff only see and act on what's relevant to their responsibilities, keeping sensitive data appropriately scoped across every module.

Alumni Directory

Alumni register and record any number of past InitMath, MTTS, OFCM, or Overture participations, each independently verified and approved, with approved records shown in a public directory visible to guests too.

Bulk Data Tools

Trust admins can export the institute directory to Excel and bulk-update or add institutes by re-importing an edited spreadsheet, processed in the background so large batches don't block the page.

Together, these make 5dspace not just a form-filling tool, but a robust, auditable system the Trust can rely on as its primary channel for applications, financial support, and member communication.
