Defining Education-Related Information

To set up information about educational establishments and areas of study use the School Types (SCHOOL_TYPE_TABLE), Schools (SCHOOL_TABLE), Majors (MAJOR_TABLE), and Define Faculty Table JPN (FACULTY_TABLE_JPN) components.

These topics provide an overview of education-related information and profiles, and discuss how to define education-related information.

(JPN) Define Faculty Table JPN Page

FACULTY_TABLE_JPN

(JPN) Define faculties and associate sub-faculties and a major category with them.

If you want to include school type, school, major, minor, or Japanese faculty or sub-faculty codes in profiles, add the appropriate property to content sections in your profile types. These are the properties that are associated with the education tables:

  • SCHOOL_TYPE

  • SCHOOL_CODE

  • SCHOOL_DESCR

  • MAJOR_CODE

  • MAJOR_DESCR

  • JPM_MINOR_CD

  • MINOR_DESCR

  • FACULTY_CODE (for Japan)

  • FACULTY_DESCR (for Japan)

  • SUBFACULTY_CODE (for Japan)

  • SUBFACULTY_DESCR (for Japan)

The delivered PERSON profile type is configured to enable you to record employees' education information. The Education tab in this profile type has content sections for School Education, Degrees, and Areas of Study that use the information in the education tables.

The descriptions you enter in the education tables will appear in the education-related profile pages as display only when you enter the school, major, minor, faculty, or sub-faculty codes on the page.

Use the Schools page (SCHOOL_TABLE) to define codes for specific schools.

The school codes that you enter here are also available for tracking similar information either in Employee Data or in Training pages.
