Overview

This page is used to find a specific curriculum item (i.e. course, unit set or unit) and open the Structure CRSW2600 or Dependencies CRSW2600 or the viewer (CRSW2000) for that curriculum item. Timelines (CRSW2650) for a Course Structure can also be accessed directly from this page.

On first accessing either the Structure or Dependencies page (CRSW2600) for a curriculum item, a unique Structure ID and a Start Date (equal to the system date and time) is automatically assigned to both the Structure and Dependencies for that curriculum item (i.e. the Structure and Dependencies share the same Structure ID). This instance becomes the 'latest instance' of the Structure and Dependencies for the curriculum item.

A new instance is created only if the Structure or Dependencies for the curriculum item is modified in Proposals (PAA) and transferred back into the CRS subsystem via the Transfer job. In this case, the job automatically assigns a new Structure ID and Start Date to the transferred Structure and Dependencies, and end-dates the latest instances in the CRS subsystem; thereby making the transferred Structure and Dependencies the latest instances. (For more information, see Course Structures & Dependencies in Proposals.)

This function is comprised of two pages:

If the required curriculum item does not exist, then you will need to create the item in SMS Forms, i.e. (depending on the type of curriculum item) in the Maintain Course Details (CRSF1210), Maintain Unit Sets (CRSF4200) or Maintain Unit Details (CRSF2210) Form.

5. Click on the Item code to open the Curriculum Item Viewer (CRSW2000) or click on one of the following icons next to the required curriculum item to open the, Structure (CRSW2600), Dependencies (CRSW2600) or Timeline (CRSW2650) page.
