The purpose of this form is to record date aliases that have been chosen by the institution to determine the prize details, prize donors, prize criteria, prize value and prize detail type that will be in effect for a particular academic calendar.

This is required because prize recipients may be determined after the prize year that they are applicable for. At this time there may be new prize details (value, criteria, etc) in place for the new prize year and these details should not be associated with recipients for the privious prize year.

To overcome this, the effective prize details date alias defined for the relevant prize year will be used to target the correct details. Refer to the following example.

This example illustrates that person prize records for the 2002 prize year are being detemined on the 15th April 2003. However, the person prize determination date is not being used to target the associated prize details attributes (i.e. value, criteria, donor and prize detail type) that should be used in the person prize record, but rather the Effective Prize Details Date Alias that has been defined in prize calendar configuration for these prize detail attributes is being used as the 'effective dates'.

The shaded area in this example defines the 2002 prize year. As you can see, during this time there are two prize value and two prize criteria records that exist. The Effective Prize Details Date Alias defined for the prize year provides the ability to determine which of these records should be used in the creation of a person prize record.
