Student System Distribution Initialization (SOADEST) page

Use this page to enter the intended destination of hardcopy student schedules, invoices, academic transcripts, enrollment verification reports, and compliance results requested during the terminal session.

You can designate the selection criteria used in the sleep/wake routines when processing schedules, invoices, and transcripts. Enrollment verifications are not printed using sleep/wake processing, but the printer to be used may be set up from this field.

This page is displayed the first time you enter any Registration, Accounts Receivable, Academic History (transcript request), or CAPP (compliance request) module page during a session. Entries are stored for the current Banner® session only. To change distribution designations after exiting the Student System Distribution Initialization (SOADEST) page during a session, you must re-access the page directly. The page appears again during your next session whenever you attempt to access one of the same module forms.

Values entered on SOADEST must correspond to the institution's defined sleep/wake selection criteria. Your institution's technical support staff must create report distribution selection criteria before being entered on SOADEST. If the user is not going to be generating any sleep/wake routines this page can be bypassed by the Exit button or function.

Note: To use % as a parameter option for printer destination, you will need to designate it as a valid printer on the Printer Code Validation (GTVPRNT) page. Please be aware, however, that designating % as a valid printer and making it the printer destination will route all requests to that one printer, regardless of the printer destination selected by an individual user on the Student System Distribution Initialization (SOADEST) page. The % remains a valid parameter option for the printer destination when running the above processes outside of sleep/wake mode.
