Add Period Attribute Dates

How and where you use period attribute dates depends on your academic calendars and structures, and the time length of your academic periods. Associate the tuition calculation attributes with academic reporting periods if required. But for other attributes, it’s useful to associate them with academic periods. This means you can have more granular control of the period attribute dates.

Here’s how you add a period attribute to a period:

  1. Click Add Period Attribute.

  2. Select the period attribute.

  3. Select a calculation method of Manual Entry or Pivot.

    • Manual Entry:

      1. For manual entry method, select a date type and enter the required data.

      2. Click Save.

    • Pivot:

      1. Enter the required data and click Calculate.

        The calculated date based on the pivot settings is displayed.

      2. Click Save to save the calculated date.

Remove Period Attribute Dates

To remove a period attribute from a period, click the ellipsis for the attribute and select Remove.

Edit Period Attribute Dates

To edit a period attribute date, click the ellipsis for the attribute and select Edit Attribute.

You can select a different calculation option, either manual or pivot.

You can also edit the date for a calculation method.

For manual entry method, make your changes and click Save.

For pivot method, use these steps:

  1. Edit one or more pivot fields.

    When you edit at least one field, the Calculate button becomes active.

  2. Click Calculate to recalculate the date.

  3. You must save the record for the recalculated dates to be saved.

To update the tuition calculation attribute dates on an academic reporting period, use a date type of range. This means you can specify a start and end date for the attribute.
