Access the Service Impact Table page (Set Up SACR, Common Definitions, Service Indicators, Service Impact Table).

To use the PeopleSoft-delivered services that are related to service impacts (such as blocking enrollment), you must set up but never modify the following service impact codes for every institution in your system:

Each of these service impacts is used in a unique way within the system.

See Using Student Records Service Impacts.

Service Impact Details

A service indicator is in effect for as long as its longest service impact. A service impact is in effect from the start date (for date-based business processes, such as requesting a transcript) or start term (for term-based business processes, such as financial aid disbursement). It remains in effect up to and including the end date or through the end term. If no end point is defined, the service indicator with that impact remains in effect until it is released manually.

Basis of Impact

Select the basis by which the system is to disregard this service impact.

The Service Indicator remains on the record until you remove it; however, the system will disregard the impact as of the end of the basis of impact that is selected. Each impact must have a basis of impact.

If the business process is term-based, select the Term check box for the system to disregard the impact automatically upon completion of the End Term. The end term is defined on the Add Service Indicator page, which is where you assign the service indicator to an ID.

If the business process is date-based, select the Date check box for the system to disregard the impact automatically upon completion of the End Date. The end date is defined on the Add Service Indicator page, which is where you assign the service indicator to an ID.

If the business process is both term-based and date-based, you can select both check boxes. For example, you might need to restrict enrollment activities for an individual for Fall Term 006 but only once the Drops period has begun, which is two weeks into the term. The Service Indicator code with the appropriate impact is assigned with a Start Term value of Fall Term 006, an End Term value of Fall Term 006, and a Start Date of October 6. Selecting both check boxes would allow this impact to restrict enrollment activities only on or after October 6 and only for Fall Term 006.

See Assigning a Service Indicator to an ID.

Positive Service Impact

Select this check box to indicate that the impact provides a service, as opposed to denying or restricting one.

System Function

Select this check box to identify the service impact as one called by PeopleSoft program logic. For example, you must define the CENR service impact and select this check box for it, for each institution in your system, because it is used by enrollment process logic.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicCreating Service Indicator Codes

Access the Service Indicator Codes page (Set Up SACR, Common Definitions, Service Indicators, Service Indicator Codes).

Note. Assigned serviced indicators draw on the current effective-dated service indicator definition. If a new effective-dated row is added to the service indicator definition, the changes in that row will affect existing as well as new assignments to IDs.

Copy

Click to copy this service indicator definition, including associated service indicator impacts and service indicator reasons, to a new institution, a new service indicator code within the currently defined institution, or a new institution and code combination.

Service Indicator Details

Default Reason

Displays the default reason associated with the service indicator.

Note. The system cannot display the default reason until the reason is defined and associated with the service indicator on the Service Indicator Reasons page.

Set No Default

Select this check box to prevent the system from displaying default values in the Service Indicator Reason Code and Department fields on the Service Indicators page.

Attributes

Person and Organization

Specify the type of IDs to which this service indicator can be assigned.

Display Deceased Label

Select this check box to display the word DECEASED at the top of pages about individuals to whom the indicator is assigned in the future.

Warning! Select the Display Deceased Label check box only when creating a death service indicator. Selecting this for any other service indicator could cause the system to apply the deceased label to individuals who are not deceased. If this happens, substantial manual effort might be required to remove the deceased designation from each individual's record.

Positive Service Indicator

Select this check box to indicate that the service indicator identifies a privilege or service to be provided.

For example, if you define a positive service indicator of Conference Guest and associate the service impact of Front of Line, then any person assigned the Conference Guest service indicator should receive front-of-line service at your institution.
