Creation of PE Discipline, PE Discipline Requirement, and reports
Table of Contents
Overview
Program Disciplines are the group of Courses that the student is required to complete, when enrolling into a Major/Minor.
When a Program Discipline is selected, a PE Discipline will be created as a record of that student's enrollment to it (stored on the student’s Program Enrollment).
The Program Discipline and all related Discipline Requirements will be cloned from the related Program Plan.
(See also: Program Discipline and Discipline Requirement.)
The cloned Program Discipline is created as a PE Discipline record, and it has a reference to the Program Discipline (lookup).
The Discipline Requirements are created as child PE Discipline Requirements records, looking up to the newly created PE Discipline.
Once the student enrolls to the Courses, it will create Course Connection records.
As of v3.11, the 'Target Course' field on the PE Discipline Requirement (Course) will link the Course to a Course Connection.
(Previously, Plan Requirement was used to do this.)
A Course Connection will be linked to a PE Discipline Requirement (Course) based on the following:
- When the PE Discipline Requirement's Program Enrollment matches Course Connection's Program Enrollment.
- PE Discipline Requirement's 'Target Course' matches Course Connection's Target Course.
Creating report of PE Discipline Requirements (Course)
To do this, we can always setup a report that pulls all the PE Discipline Requirements of that student under that particular Program Enrollment.
Then, introduce a custom button at the Program Enrollment object. This button should filter the report via URL parameters so when clicked, it should redirect user to said report and also pass on the report filter parameter i.e. Program Enrollment Id to the report.
To understand how to create this button, you can refer to this article.
Note: There are icons in the enrollment wizard for mandatory and optional Discipline Requirement Courses: a square icon for Mandatory and a Circle icon for Optional. This is to help the student pick what they should be enrolling in if they have a Program Discipline selected.
