One of the methods to navigate to the Prospect/Admissions Staging component is by clicking the <transaction name> link on the Constituent Staging component. There are two ways to access the Constituent Staging component:

  • Campus Community menu path navigation (Campus Community > Constituent Transaction Mgmt > Constituent Staging).

  • Student Recruiting menu path navigation (Student Recruiting > Prospect/Admissions Data Mgmt > Constituent Staging).

If you use the Campus Community menu path navigation and if your user ID is not associated with a particular transaction code, you cannot access the PDL data associated with that transaction code.

However, you can see the transaction that exists for the constituent. In the following example, a user can see there is a PDL transaction for the constituent. However, the user cannot view the PDL data because the <Transaction Name> link is disabled. The system has disabled the link because the user does not have access to the transaction code.

This image shows an example of the transaction link disabled for a user who does not have transaction code access.

If you use the Student Recruiting menu path navigation and if your user ID is not associated with a particular transaction, you cannot see how many transactions associated with the transaction code exist. Also, you cannot view the PDL data associated with the transaction code. Therefore, the system strictly enforces the transaction security for the Student Recruiting menu as compared to Campus Community menu where the security is not enforced. In the following example, a user cannot see whether there is a PDL transaction for the constituent because the user does not have access to the transaction code.

This image shows hidden search results for a user who does not have the transaction code access.

The header region on all the pages of the Prospect/Admissions Staging component is similar to the header region on the Constituent Staging component pages. This region includes options to modify the constituent status, run Search/Match/Post process or post a transaction.

Here is an example of the header region on a Prospect/Admissions Staging component page:

Application Errors

Errors related to the transaction data will appear here only after the Transaction Management process has been run or if the data on the component has been manually changed and saved.

Set Status to Submitted

This button only appears if the transaction status is Posted.

If you have inadvertently posted the transaction data to a wrong ID, click the Set Status to Submitted button. On clicking the button, the system sets the transaction status back to Submitted. For example, you may notice that test scores were posted to a new ID but you should have posted for an existing ID. To repost the test scores to the existing ID, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the Set Status to Submitted button and save the record.

  2. Click the Set to Update ID button and select the existing ID.

  3. Click the Run Search/Match/Post button to post the transaction.

The following table describes the transaction statuses:
