PD Activities – My (Add)
This program is used to add Professional Development (PD) activity details.
Your school may have set up a 'workflow' process for the entry and approval of PD activities.
This is done by using the 'Status' flag on the PD Activity.
As an example, when you enter a PD Activity you choose a status of 'Requested'. A supervisor can then use Staff Kiosk program Payroll/HR > PD Activities – My Staff (Maintain) to change the status to 'Approved' or 'Cancelled'.
