Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of Notes relating to Course Versions

Course Version

The Course Version block (context block) displays the current Course Version record (context record) from the Maintain Basic Course Details form. The displayed records in the Course Version Note block are the Notes for the context record.

For example, if Course Version A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x is selected in the Maintain Basic Course Details form and the Course Version Note navigation button is selected, then this form will display A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x as the context record and any existing Notes relating to this Course Version will be displayed.

This function allows additional information to be attached to Course Versions in the form of Notes. Notes of many types may be created, each type reflecting the common purpose of the Notes asssociated with it.

• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Excel
• Text
• Other OLE (permitting virtually any other format)

Full instructions and explanations for the use of the Notes Facility are covered under Notes Facility in the General System Functions and Facilities section.
