This form is used to create and maintain Unit Set details. The form does not attach units to Unit Sets. Unit Set Rules are established in the Maintain Unit Set Rules form (CRSF4230). Unit Sets are used to define a student's nominated path of study and to assist in the assessment of progression and completion of the Student's Course Attempt. A Unit Set can be defined as Academic or Administrative. Academic Unit Sets do not have the Administrative check box selected. Academic Unit Sets are those that further define a student's path of study, for example, Majors and Minors. Administrative Unit Sets are used to define progression components of a course, or to restrict the set of Academic Unit Sets that a student can pursue. For further information on the use of Unit Sets refer to the Unit Sets section of the Course Structure and Planning overview. The following buttons may be available on this form:
Unit Sets can be restricted to selected Course Types in the Unit Set Course Type Restriction block. For example, Bachelor's Pass, Master's by Research. Selecting a Course Type from the LOV restricts the Unit Set to the selected Course Type(s). If no Course Types have been selected, the Unit Set is available for ALL Course Types. Unit Sets can be rolled over to create new versions. To roll over a Unit Set it must have an Expiry Date. Create a new record and select Duplicate Record from the Edit menu. This form is accessed from the main menu. |
The Unit Set block contains:
The Unit Set Course Type Restriction block contains:

Rules/Notes: A warning is displayed if non-alphanumeric characters are used in the Unit Set Code. The Unit Set Code cannot contain a full stop if the full stop is defined as the code/version separator for Callista Rules (in RULF0100). Likewise it cannot contain a colon if that is defined as the code/version separator for Callista Rules (in RULF0100). Once used in the system, Unit Sets should not be deleted. Record an Expiry Date to prevent further enrolments. Only one version of a Unit Set can have an unspecified Expiry Date. When setting an End Date, the Unit Set Status must be changed to INACTIVE in the same transaction. Similarly, when setting a Unit Set Status to INACTIVE, an End Date must also be recorded in the same transaction. The End Date/Unit Set Status INACTIVE combination cannot be set where there are active students within an offering of the Unit Set. The details of a Unit Set Version cannot be altered once the Unit Set Status is INACTIVE. To make changes, reset the Unit Set Status to ACTIVE, delete the End Date and save before performing changes. The Unit Set Category can only be altered where the Unit Set Status is PLANNED. A Unit Set Status cannot be reset to PLANNED once it has been changed to ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The Graduation Statement button navigates to the Unit Set Statement page (CRSW1198) where a Statement can be associated to a Unit Set for inclusion in an AHEGS. The Rollover Function: Unit Sets can be rolled over to create new versions. To roll over a Unit Set it must have an Expiry Date. Create a new record and select 'Duplicate Record' from the Edit menu in this form. The latest instance of the Unit Set Structure (CRSW2600) and/or Dependencies (CRSW2600) is also rolled over to the new unit set version. The rolled over Structures and/or Dependencies are automatically assigned a new Structure ID and Start Date (equal to the current date and time of the rollover), and all Relationships within the Structures/Dependencies are assigned a new Start Date (equal to the current date and time of the rollover). Existing 'user defined' data created in Proposals that is associated with a Unit Set, is also rolled over to the new Unit Set version. (Note: User defined data added to a Unit Set Proposal is transferred to the CRS subsystem by the CRSJ6020 job.) Impact Analysis: When a unit set is rolled over to a new version, the Impact Analysis function is automatically initiated (see CRSW2640) and identifies any
occurrence of the old unit set in Structures, Dependencies, Timelines and Precedents. For more information, see CRSW2640. If impacts are identified during a rollover, an Impact Analysis text file
is created and saved on the server in the JBS/OUTPUT directory. The name of the text file is: CI.Impact.<CI Type>.<code>.<version>. You cannot delete a unit set if it has been selected in a COMPLETE Timeline (CRSW2650). |
Unit Sets can be created, and existing Unit Sets queried and updated in this form. To Create a Unit Set:
There are four date fields for a Unit Set. The Start Date is inserted by the system when creating the Unit Set. The other three are:
