Custom Settings: Session Course was Canceled Value
Session Course was Canceled Value
This setting controls the part of the Course Flow delivered with RollCall that will automatically update Session records and set the Status when an entire Course is canceled. This is to allow differentiation of a session individually unable to be taught (e.g. for a snow day) from one that could not be taught because the entire course was canceled.
Impacts:
Session record Status field when a Course is updated IF AND ONLY IF (1) you are using the Flows delivered with RollCall AND (2) the setting Course Cancel AutoUpdates is “On.”
Default Value:
Canceled
Default Behavior without a setting:
All Session records’ Status field will be set to Canceled when the parent Course record Status is changed to Canceled (or your local equivalent).
Behavior when setting is changed:
Identical to Default Behavior but 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 “Not Conducted” instead of “Canceled” to indicate that a session or course could not be taught. You would change the Session picklist value to reflect your local changes and change the value in this custom setting.
To use this setting, you would:
Decide which Session Status picklist value means that no student could attend because the course was not conducted on that day, if it differs from the word “Canceled.”
Find the field Status on the Session object and add your custom wording or overwrite the Canceled value with your custom wording.
Update the “Value” field for this custom metadata record with the exact value of your picklist item from the Status field on the Session object.
