Setting Default SAIP Scoping and Association Values

Select to include all newly created academic organizations and all newly created elements (courses and sections) of previously existing academic organizations.

If this check box is not selected, then by default, no newly created entities (academic organizations or elements) will be included unless you specifically and manually set them to be included. To include a specific organization when the check box is not selected, you must manually add it to the Academic Organization Defaults group box. To include a specific element when the check box is not selected, the organization must be in scope and then you must manually set element in scope where you define the specific element.

For example, assume that the Biology department, an existing academic organization, is within scope. Because it is within scope, its elements are also available for scope. Perhaps your institution creates several new Biology courses or sections since the last snapshot transfer.

When the check box is selected, all of the newly created Biology courses and sections are set to transfer automatically in the next and all subsequent snapshot transfers and if you have enabled event-based integration, set to participate in future event-based integrations. You can, however, manually exclude any of the elements from scope at any time at the element level. The element will continue to be excluded until manually set back into scope.

If the check box is not selected, then none of the newly created Biology courses or sections will transfer in the integration processes. To include the newly created elements, you must manually set each of them in scope at the element level. The element will continue to be included until manually removed from scope.

Click to include all of the academic organizations and their elements that are in the system for the institution as of the date you click the button.

When you click the button, the system displays values for the institution in the Academic Organization Defaults group box.

Select to automatically include all new associations for combined class sections.

If this check box is selected, you can, from the element level, manually exclude an association from scope at any time.

If this check box is not selected, then section associations are ignored and their combined sections are presented as separate sections in the external system. To include an association when the check box is not selected, you must manually include it in scope where you defined the combined section.

See Creating Combined Sections.

Date and time that combined sections were associated.

Click to use the associations for newly created class sections on the Class Association page in PeopleSoft Student Records to create the course sites in the external system.

You can override class association at the course level on the Class Scoping and Association page (SAE_CLASS_CONFIG) within SAIP.

Enter the default value for the number of days, either before or after the start date of a term, that integration should start for associated elements. Valid values are numbers with a minus symbol (-) representing a value prior to the term start date or numbers with a plus (+) symbol or no symbol representing a value after the start of the term. This default value applies to the terms associated with the institution, cascades to the sessions associated with each term and, unless it is changed at the session level, the value cascades down to class sections. Ultimately at the class section level, a calculation is done based on the term start date plus or minus the offset to give an actual integration start date. The calculated integration start date at the class section level can be overridden at the element level.

For example: A term with a start date of September 10 and an institution set integration offset of -10 will have an integration start date of September 1.

Enter the default value for the number of days, either before or after the end date of a term, that integration should end for associated elements. Valid values are numbers with a minus symbol (-) representing a value prior to the term end date, numbers with a plus (+) symbol or no symbol representing a value after the end date of the term. This default value applies to the terms associated with the institution, cascades to the sessions associated with each term and, unless it is changed at the session level, the value cascades down to class sections. Ultimately at the class section level, a calculation is done based on the term end date plus or minus the offset to give an actual integration end date. The calculated integration end date at the class section level can be overridden at the element level.

For example: A term with an end date of May 20 and an integration offset of 5 would have an integration end date of May 25.

The values that you enter in the Integration Start and End Date fields represent the default to be applied to any new terms going forward. Click this button to apply a change in default offset values to all current terms and associated sessions.

Enter the name of an academic organization that you want to include in scope.

Select to use the associations for newly created class sections on the Class Association page in PeopleSoft Student Records to create course sites in the external system.

If the Default IMS Association from Class Association check box is selected at the Institution Defaults level, that value appears here.

You can override the default value at the academic organization level by clearing this check box You can also override the default value the element level. When the check box is cleared, newly created class sections for this academic organization will not derive the IMS association from the class association.

Select to include all new elements related to this academic organization.

When this check box is selected, all related elements created since the last snapshot transfer are included and updated in snapshot transfers, and if event-based integration is enabled, in event-based transfers, until manually excluded.

Clear this check box to exclude from scope all new elements related to this academic organization.

You can override this setting at any time either here or at the element level. You can clear the check box here to exclude all new elements, or you can exclude specific elements at the element level.

Click to include in the integration processes all existing elements related to this organization.
