Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of institution defined Institution Statuses

SubSystem

Organisational Structure

An Institution Status defines the institution's current level of activity in a way that may have particular meaning for that institution. However, each such Institution Status must be assigned a System Institution Status which is recognised by the System for other functionality.

The Institution Status block contains:

• Institution Status
• Description
• System Institution Status
• Closed check box

Rules/Notes:

• Enter Insert mode
• Enter the desired name of the Institution Status in the Institution Status field of a blank record
• Enter a meaningful description for the Institution Status in the Description field
• Select the appropriate System Institution Status from the list of values (or key a valid value)
• Save

Rules/Notes:

On entering a new Institution Status, the System Institution Status defaults to ACTIVE.

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

Rules/Notes:

If an Institution Status has been used in the definition of an institution its description should only be modified where the change is minor and does not alter the meaning.

An Institution Status can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.

Once an Institution Status has been assigned to one or more institutions, its System Institution Status should not be changed. A new Institution Status should normally be created.

To delete an Institution Status using the Maintain Institution Status form:

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

Rules/Notes:

If an Institution Status has been used in the definition of an institution, it cannot be deleted. It can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.
