When entered, some comment categories will enable the Variable Data button. If this happens, click
the button and enter the requested data.
The Comment ID is defaulted to the ID of the person who is entering the comment. This can be changed
if it is appropriate.
The Department is optional.
The comment date should normally be left as the current date unless there is a good reason to put in
another date.
Viewing Person Comments
The comments that have been placed on a person can be viewed using this menu:
Main Menu > Campus Community > Comments > Comments – Person > Person Comment Summary
Enter the ID number of the person and click Search.
To see all of the comments just click the Search button. You can optionally limit the search by the
administrative function, comment category, or even the ID number of the person who created the
comment.
Checklists and Checklist Items
In simple terms, a checklist is a list of items that a person (typically a student) needs to complete. A
checklist item is one of the items on a checklist. The system is configured for many checklists and
checklist items that students must complete. Here are a few examples:
EAPPL – Application
EGED – GED
FPFVET – Submit Proof of Veteran Status
RMENTR – Sign up for Mentor
Individual staff members are responsible for adding and removing checklist items from student’s
records. When the checklist item has been added to a student, that item will appear on the student’s
to-do list in Student Self Service. Students cannot remove their own checklist items, that must be
performed by a staff member.
