Use this page to enter the default recruit values for Web-entered data. This page is also used in the data load process.
You can designate default values that can be used to populate the recruiting record (SRBRECR) or applicant record (SARADAP) when a record is created by the Migrate Electronic Prospects Process (SRRPREL) or by using the Create Recruit/Applicant item in the Options Menu on the Electronic Prospect Inquiry (SRIPREL) page.
Enter a code from the Electronic Prospect Validation (STVPREL) page in the Electronic Prospect Code field in the key, and use Go button to see the default values for the prospect code. The prospect codes on STVPREL must have the Enter on WEB check box selected to be displayed in the list of values for the Electronic Prospect Code field on SRAPRED.
The Clear Defaults button is used to remove the existing values so new ones can be entered for the code in the key block.
This page is optional for use in Web for Prospects processing. The Level, Recruiting Term, Degree, and Major are required in the Recruiting module. If those values are not entered here, and this data is not entered on the Web, the Banner® system required values will default into the recruiting records. If you do enter data on this page, the Level (Code) is required.
SRTLOAD uses the default values on SRAPRED if the corresponding parameter on SRTLOAD is blank. If the corresponding parameter on SRTLOAD is blank, SRTLOAD will use the data that exists on the incoming file for such fields as Term, Major, etc. (incorporating the use of SOTCNVT or the validation table if it is a straight conversion). If no value exists on the file, then SRTLOAD will use the data in the parameter. If no value exists in the parameter, SRTLOAD will use the value on SRAPRED. Certain fields (i.e., Tape Source, SBGI Source Code, etc.) will be populated from STVINFC if no value exists on SRAPRED.
SRAPRED rules will create an application when no recruiting record is created, based on the appropriate rule settings on SAAERUL. Fields that are required for applications (such as student type for AMCAS or other files that do not include this value in any way) need to be set up on SRAPRED for the level code for which SRTLOAD is run so that the application student type and other necessary fields are updated. Providing defaults for the application will create a value, as opposed to a null or 00000, for the program or college, etc., on the application.
When data loaded to the temporary tables by SRTLOAD, the following checks are made: a direct match to a validation table is checked, then SOTCNVT is checked for crosswalk/conversion data, then the parameter values on SRTLOAD are checked, ( in addition to the existence of a contact or source on STVINFC), and finally SRAPRED is checked. SRAPRED is the only place that provides data for student type, program, or college code for the applicant.
SRAPRED values for AMCAS must be used for loading various AMCAS application data because this information is not supplied on the incoming AMCAS file. Values such as student type (which is required for an application), college code, and program will only be added to an application when they have been added to SRAPRED for the level for which you are running SRTLOAD. Recruiting records may be generated, but institutions may choose to not load recruiting records and to only load applications (based on the appropriate SAAERUL rules). A specific rule for the electronic prospect code AMCS may be added to SRAPRED with minimal values updated for the level type, student type, college code, and program, if applicable.
