Use the Key block to enter the code for the school term. When you select a code, its associated description also displays.

Fields Descriptions
Term Required effective term for the set of application use defined rules. This value comes from Code Validation (STVTERM) list.

Entry of a term will retrieve the rules record in effect for the term specified, where the maximum effective term is less than or equal to the entered term. When a valid term code is entered, the term description will display.

Selecting the Term field Search button will display an Option List with two choices:
  • The Valid Terms option will display a list of all valid term codes on the Term Code Validation (STVTERM) page from which valid terms may be selected. (The use of a List function from the Term field also displays this list.)
  • The Existing Description Rules option will display the list of term codes and term description of existing effective terms for Flag/Field Description rules. (The use of a Count Query Hits function from the Term field also displays this list.)

When a valid term is chosen, and you go to the next section, the effective term displays in the Effective Term field to the right of the Flag Descriptions.
