Screen Description

The Add Status Type screen provides interface for adding a new status. Each status is defined by the rights the managers or owners have regarding viewing and/or editing their data. Each right has its description in the screen.

Details

• Reference
  • The name under which the application recognizes the status internally
• Label
  • Name of the status displayed throughout the application (for example, in the Academic Sessions screen)
• Apply
  • Choose whether a given status should be applicable only to a session, only to a department, or to both (for example, "Initial Data Load" applies to a session only while "External Manager Timetabling" applies to a department only)

The rights are divided into several categories:

• Course Timetabling
  • Owner/manager rights related to creating a course timetable
• Examination Timetabling

• No-Role Reports
