Student Notes

Use

You can create different types of notes for specific students or programs. Possible note types are:

  • General note

  • Appraisal note

  • Progression note

Integration

The system stores the notes you create in the ST object (student) or CS object (study) of infotype 1707 ( Notes ). The CS object serves as a carrier object for programs (object SC). Each note type is a subtype of infotype 1707.

Prerequisites

The required note types are defined. Your system administrator makes this setting in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management in the section Start of the navigation path Student Lifecycle Management Master Data Next navigation step Students Next navigation step Notes Next navigation step Create Note Types End of the navigation path . The standard system does not contain any predefined note types.

Activities

You display and edit notes in the Student File by choosing ( Note overview ) or the Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Note overview End of the navigation path .

The Note Overview screen appears . There, you can specify whether the system should display all notes or only specific notes. This setting determines which note types and notes you can process.

When you create a note, you must assign it to a student or program depending on the note type. When creating notes, take into account the following:

  • If a note type can only be assigned to a student, you always create the note for a student irrespective of the program in which the student is registered.

  • If a note type can only be assigned to a program and the student is registered in more than one program, you must select the program to which the note should be assigned.

  • If a note type can be assigned to a student as well as a program, you must specify whether you are creating the note for a student or program.

Your system administrator defines whether a note type can be assigned to a student, a program, or to both object types in Customizing.
