How to set up data groups

Attention. You must have:

  • The security role StatutoryAdmin to view the Submissions module menu.
  • Level 2 subscription to set data groups to editable and to upload or download records.

Set up data groups to define the following:

  • Whether records of a data group are editable and bulk editable, and whether the values edited in Submissions override the values from the student management system.
  • How records are approved and submitted
  • Whether records can be uploaded or downloaded from a data group

Set up data groups as follows:

  1. On the Settings and then Submissions module and then Data settings page, go to the data group you want to edit and then the edit module button under Actions.

    Attention. The settings apply to the data group acronym hep and acronym vet. That is, setting the Campus data group to editable sets the Campuses acronym hep and the Campuses acronym vet data groups to editable.
