Prerequisites for Adding Prospects
Before you enter prospects into the system, set up your recruiting structure. Your recruiting structure consists of recruiting regions and recruiters. You must also define honors, awards, school types, admit types, and extracurricular activities, for example, before you can assign them to prospects.
See Setting Up Your Recruiting Structure
Before you add prospects, search the database to see if biographical and demographic records exist for the person. The person might already be in your database as an employee, instructor, or student in another academic institution or career. To determine if the prospect exists in your system, select Student Recruiting, Maintain Prospects, Search Match.
See Understanding Search/Match
If the person already exists in your database, you must determine if there is a prospect record for the academic institution and career before you create a new prospect record. Only one prospect record can exist for an institution and career combination.
