Terms
Term Dates will allow admins to configure an institution's terms, which determines how curriculum is organized by time. As each institution is different, the terms can be adjusted to better fit the needs of each individual. For example, one institution may have three terms in a year, while another may have four.
Terms are initially established as part of the implementation process, but after that initial set-up Admins will be able to modify the terms gadget.
Terms Data Set
The terms data set will be housed within Shared Data. This can be accessed by selecting the Shared Data icon on the dashboard within Student.
Within Shared Data, select Terms from the left navigation to see the document list. The document list within Terms will show each of the currently defined terms for your institution.
Terms Gadget
Once the terms gadget has been added to your form, it will reference the terms that have been established as a data set within the Shared Data. The gadget will include a start and end term option, and users will be able to select from one of the defined terms.
The terms are used to indicate when an item would be considered an active item. For example, if you have a course, ENG 101, it may be offered from Fall 2024 - Summer 2025. If a new version of the course were to be offered in Fall 2025, it would be considered a new term and a new version of the course would be created at that time.
The terms gadget has the following settings available:
