Custom Settings: Enrollment Waitlist Value

Enrollment Waitlist Value

This setting simply ensures that any rollups or automations created to include the word “Waitlist” are able to reflect your local terminology.

Impacts:

Course Enrollment record Enrollment Status field. There are currently no automations that use this picklist value, it is a placeholder for future use.

Default Value:

Wait List

Default Behavior: 

Any automations or rules set up to enforce the idea of “Waitlisting” will look for or set the word “Wait List” in Enrollment Status

Behavior when setting is changed

Identical to Default Behavior but Enrollment Status field will be set to your picklist value (whatever is in the Value of the setting) instead of the default one.

Example:

Your organization may use the term “Unable To Enroll - Waiting” instead of “Wait List” to indicate that a student could not be enrolled but would like to be when a seat opens up. You would change the Course Enrollment picklist value to reflect your local changes and change the value in this custom setting.

To use this setting, you would:

  1. Decide which Course Enrollment Status picklist value means that a student would like to enroll if a slot becomes available, if it differs from the words “Wait List.”

  2. Find the field Enrollment Status on the Course Enrollment object and add your custom wording or overwrite the Wait List value with your custom wording.

  3. Update the “Value” field for this custom metadata record with the exact value of your picklist item from the Status field on the Attendance object.
