This is a data reference page that is used to create and maintain 'institution-defined' Precedent Types and map them to one or more System Precedent Types: ADVANCED STANDING, ADMISSIONS and/or PREREQUISITE.
This page is used when setting up data required for Precedents (i.e. Precedent Types created in this page appear in the List of Values for the Precedent Type field located in the General Details step of Precedents (PRDW0400)).
Precedent Types are used to indicate whether a Precedent is to be used for:
A new Precedent (in PRDW0400) can be created for one or all of the Precedent Types. If a Precedent is of multiple Types, then separate Precedent records are created but with the same ID for each Precedent Type.
To use this page, it is expected that you will be an administrator authorised to establish Reference data for Precedents.
This page is accessed from the main menu.
On accessing this page, a list of Precedent Type records is displayed. The following actions can be performed from this page:

| Source | This field is used to specify an Advanced Standing Source for an Advanced Standing Precedent Type. (An Advanced Standing Source is used to identify the basis for Advanced Standing.) Only sources that are mapped to a System Advanced Standing Source of CRDT-TRANS (see the 'Maintain Advanced Standing Source' (ADVF1140) form) are available for selection. This field is only displayed if the 'Allow Advanced Standing Source Mapping' check box is selected in the Precedent Configuration (PRDW0100) page. The System Precedent Type - 'Advanced Standing' check box (on this page) must be selected first before you can select a value for the Source field. If you select the Admissions and/or Prerequisite check boxes (on this page) as well as the Advanced Standing check box, then the Source field selector is disabled. Table Value: |
