Advisement Report Request Data

Field or Control

Description

Report Date

When you create a new request, the Report Date field displays the current date until you select a Report Type value. Then the Report Date field value displays the appropriate Report Date based on the advisement report type setup.

If the default value defined for the advisement report type is Current Date, then you can view two additional items on the page: the Use This Request Report Date check box and the ? icon, which offers explanatory text.

As of Date

Reflects the As of Date value identified in the report type setup. When you access the page, the As of Date field value displays the value defined in the Installation Academic Advisement component. This remains the default value until you select the Report Type field value on the page. Then the value will reflect the advisement report type setup.

If the default value defined for the advisement report type is Current Date, then you can view two additional items on the page: the Use This As of Date check box and a ? icon, which offers explanatory text.

Use This Request Report Date

Select this option for the request process to use the user-defined date as Report Date. If the check box is not selected, then the Report Date on the request is updated with the current date.

Note: This check box appears only when the Report Date value defined in the advisement report type is Current Date.

Use This Request As of Date

Select this option for the request process to use the user-defined date as the As of Date. If the check box is not selected, then the As of Date on the request is updated with the current date.

Note: This check box appears only when the As of Date field value defined in the advisement report type is Current Date.

Information icon

Mouse-over the icon to read explanatory text for the check box. You can use Message Catalog to customize these texts:

  • Use this Request As of Date check box: Entry 14530, 13.

  • Use this Request Report Date check box: Entry 14530, 14.

Freeze Record

Select to prevent this request from being purged during a subsequent academic advisement purge process.

Population Selection

This group box appears when the Population Selection process is selected.

Population selection is a method of selecting the IDs to process a specific transaction. The Population Selection group box appears on the run control pages when the Population Selection process is available or required for the transaction. Selection tools are available based on the selection tools that your institution selected in the set up of the Population Selection process for the application process and on your user security. Fields in the group box appear based on the selection tool that you select. The fields behave the same way from within the group box on all run control pages and application processes.

If your institution uses a specific selection tool (PS Query, Equation Engine equation, or extended file) to identify IDs for a specific transaction, you must use it.

Several queries have been created as "default" queries. They are:

  • SAA_RPT_ACADLEVEL (AA Report Query by Acad Level).

  • SAA_RPT_ADVISOR (AA Report Query by Advisor).

  • SAA_RPT_CAREER (AA Report Query by Career).

  • SAA_RPT_PROGPLAN (AA Report Query by Plan).

  • SAA_RPT_PROGRAM (AA Report Query by Program).

  • SAA_RPT_STUDENT_GROUPS (AA Report Query by Student Group).

  • SAA_RPT_ADM_CARPROG (AA Report Query by Admission Program).

  • SAA_RPT_ADM_PROGPLAN (AA Report Query by Admission Plan).

  • SAA_RPT_ADM_SUBPLAN (AA Report Query by Admission Subplan).

  • SAA_RPT_PROSPECT_CAR (AA Report Query by Prospect).

Use Career Simulation

If you select a what-if advisement report type, the Use Career Simulation check box appears on the page. If you then select the check box, additional fields become available for your use.

You can generate what-if reports for students or even prematriculated students (as long as the prematriculated students have an EMPLID).

This example shows the what-if scenario parameters for a population.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Generate Report Requests page with a what-if scenario (1 of 2). You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
