Purpose

To enable the creation and maintenance of Notes relating to Unit Offering Patterns

Unit Offering Pattern

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

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

Unit Offering Pattern Note

This function allows additional information to be attached to Unit Offering Patterns 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.
