Defining User Edit Messages

To set up user edit messages, use the Create User Edit Messages (USER_EDIT_MSGS) component.

This section provides an overview of user edit messages and discusses how to create user edit messages.

User edit messages can act like service impacts or can designate workflow and disbursement processes for use in special handling of students. You can specify that user edit messages affect your disbursement process by assigning a user edit message to a disbursement rule (either global or financial aid item type). Add user edit messages on the Disbursement Rules: Global page and Disbursement Rules: Item Type page.
