Course Offering Pattern

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

For example, if a Course Offering Pattern is selected in the Maintain Course Offering Pattern form and the Course Offering Pattern Notes button is selected, then this form will display the Course Offering Pattern as the context record and any existing notes relating to this Offering Pattern will be displayed.
