Setting Up the Admissions Status Portlet

EX Setup

No configuration setup is required in EX to support the Admissions Status portlet.

JICS Setup

Configuration settings in JICS can be done by roles with permission to access and administer global and portlet settings.

More Information for Administrators

If you are an administrator and need help in setting up and configuring this portlet, see the Configuration Guides on MyJenzabar.

Setting Global Portlet Operations

See the Setting Global Permissions to Portlets help topic for instructions on how to set up global operations for JICS portlets.

Defining Portlet Instance-Specific Settings and Permissions

Only ONE Admissions Administrator should perform this step.

These settings and permissions only apply to the current instance of the Admission Status portlet. If you choose to put this portlet on multiple pages, you must configure each instance of the portlet accordingly.

You can order and/or hide the following candidacy items to indicate how you would like them to display in the Field of Study section: Location, Incoming Classification, Education Goal, Entry Term, Major, and Secondary Major.

1.        Log in as the JICS administrator.

2.        From the Admissions Status portlet, click the wrench () icon.

The Customize Portlet Admissions Status page appears.

3.        Click the Settings tab.

a.        The options on the Settings tab determine where each of the items are located (or hidden) in the Field of Study section. Select one of the following values from each of the drop-down lists:

§       Hide

§       Display First

§       Display Second

§       Display Third

§       Display Fourth

§       Display Fifth

§       Display Sixth

b.        Click the Save button.

4.        Click the Permissions tab.

a.        Select the All Operations check box beside the appropriate role(s) to allow person(s) with those roles to have access to all operations.

b.        Select the Can Edit Stage Setup check box beside the appropriate role(s) to allow person(s) with those roles to have access to the Setup menu to edit the stage configuration setup via the Stage Configuration page.

c.        Select the Can Find Candidates check box beside the appropriate role(s) to allow person(s) with those roles to be able to search for candidates via the View Admissions Status link.

d.        Click the Save button.

5.        Click the Exit button.

Administering the Portlet

These settings apply globally to the whole system.

1.        Log in as the JICS administrator.

2.        From the Admissions Status portlet, click the Setup option.

The Stage Configuration page appears. The stages from EX are displayed on this page. If a new stage is added in EX, the stage and its description will automatically appear on this page.

3.        In the Define the "Apply Link" section, choose the application that should be used for stages that are set to show an apply link. Click the Save button in the Define the "Apply Link" box to save the new application link.

4.        Configure the following for each stage:

a.        Portlet Stage: Select this check box if you want this stage to display in the Status section of the Admissions Status portlet.

b.        Portlet Stage Message: Enter a message that will appear in the Admissions Status portlet if the candidate's current EX stage is a JICS stage (i.e., the Portlet Stage check box is selected for this stage).

c.        Non Portlet Stage Message: Enter a message that will appear in the Admissions Status portlet if the candidate's current EX stage is not a JICS stage (i.e., the Portlet Stage check box is not selected for this stage). You may want to display a custom generic message to candidates rather than stages like "Held" or "Defer."

d.        Show Apply Link: Select this check box if you want the apply link to display in the Your Next Step section of the Admissions Status portlet. This check box should be selected only for those stages that are pre-application stages.

5.        Click the Save button at the bottom of the Stage Configuration page to save the changes to the stage settings.
