Purpose

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

Course Offering

The Course Offering block (context block) displays the current Course Offering (context record) from the Maintain Course Offerings form. The displayed records in the Course Offering Note block are the notes for the context record

For example, if Course Offering A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x is selected in the Maintain Course Offerings form and the Course Offering Notes button is selected, then this form will display A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x, Standard Academic Year as the context record and any existing Notes relating to this Course Offering will be displayed.

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

Notes may be created, stored and retrieved in almost any format. The currently available formats are:

• 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.
