PAR - Parents Tab (SU)
| Fields that require detailed information | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Parent Code Format | This is the format for each parent record's unique parent code. A maximum of 8 characters that can be made up of Alphabetic and/or Numeric values (A = Alphabetic; 9 = Numeric; X = Alphanumeric). The system will validate the length and type of code.
Important! This field cannot be changed once entered. TASS recommends the use of a straight numeric code with 'Auto Numbering' enabled, e.g. 999999. | ||||||||||
Auto Numbering | Set this to 'Y' where you would like TASS.web to automatically number each new 'Parent Code' for you. A unique system maintained 'Parent Code' will be issued for each new Parent record. Important! This feature can only be used where the Parent Code only consists of numeric characters, e.g. 999999. | ||||||||||
Next Parent Code | This is a system maintained field, which indicates what the next 'Parent Code' will be. This field is only used when 'Auto Numbering' is enabled. When setting up new school parameters this field is entered as the 'Parent Code' for the first Parent record in the system. | ||||||||||
Number of Addresses | This field displays the number of address descriptions that will be available for use in Student Admin > Parent Records > Parent Information > Parents. Important! The maximum number of address blocks available is 20. | ||||||||||
Default Address | This field displays the code of the address that will be used as the default. An asterisk will be displayed beside the default address in the 'Address' tab. The default address can also be used as search criteria in search screens in 'Parents'. | ||||||||||
