Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of institution defined Date Alias Categories

Administrators can create Date Alias Categories which may be assigned to Date Aliases to provide some logical grouping.

For example, a category WITHDRAWAL could be created to group Date Aliases representing events such as 'last day to withdraw without penalty', 'last day to withdraw without fail grade'.

The Date Alias Category block contains:

• Date Alias Category
• Description

Date Alias Category

To create a Date Alias Category using the Maintain Date Alias Categories form:

• Enter Insert mode
• Enter the desired name in the Date Alias Category field
• Enter a meaningful description in the Description field
• Save

To modify a Date Alias Category description using the Maintain Date Alias Categories form:

• Find the record to be modified
• Modify the description field as required
• Save

Rules/Notes:

Except where the change is minor and does not change the meaning, a Date Alias Category description should not be modified. Rather, a new Date Alias Category should be created.

To delete a Date Alias Category using the Maintain Date Alias Categories form:

• Find the record to be deleted
• Locate the cursor in the record to be deleted
• Delete record
• Save

Rules/Notes:

If a Date Alias Category has been used in the definition of a Date Alias Instance, it cannot be deleted.
