Tracking Item Group Membership

Explanation
Individual tracking items with common characteristics can be made members of tracking groups. This permits group progress to be monitored. This block is used to add the context tracking item, displayed in the block above, to membership of one or more groups. Tracking items can also be deleted from membership of a tracking group.

Tracking groups are created using the Maintain Tracking Groups form (TRKF1600)

Example
Tracking items can be grouped according to a common characteristic such as:
  • all special consideration applications for unit MMA101.
  • all advanced standing applications received in week ending 6 March 1997.
  • all admission applications for course SC101, in 1998.
