Use the Application Verification Steps Validation (STVASTA) page to define codes, descriptions, and processing rules for manual verification steps which must be performed when processing electronic admissions applications.
At minimum, manual processing steps must include ID verification (either matching to an existing person or creating a new person). In addition, institutions can define any other manual verification steps desired.
| Fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Code | Applicant/Application Status Code. Used to define codes for manual verification steps which may need to be performed for admissions applications which are received manually. This field is required and cannot be changed after a record has been saved. |
| Active Ind | Active Indicator. Used to specify whether a verification step record is active or not. Inactive verification steps will not be assigned to new electronic applications. This is a required field which defaults to cleared or N when a new record is added, but may be changed to selected or Y at any time. |
| Priority | Used to specify the priority of a verification step in relation to other steps. Verification steps display on this page and on the Electronic Application Process (SAAEAPS) page in priority order and in code order within the same priority. This is a required field for adding a new record, but it can be changed at any time to change the display order of the manual verification steps. |
| Per Ind | Person Indicator. Used to specify that the verification step is related to person information, as opposed to application information. In electronic application processing, one person may submit many applications. Person-related verification steps will be required only one time for the person, not one time for each application. Person verification steps might be items like ID verification (which is required), address verification, or verification of name according to data entry standards. This is a required field when a new verification step is added. It defaults to cleared or N when a new verification step is added, but can be changed to selected or Y at any time. |
| Appl Ind | Application Indicator. Used to specify that the verification step is one which relates to application, rather than person, information. In electronic application processing, one person can submit many applications. Application verification steps would be required for each application, while person verification steps will only be required one time for the person. This is a required field when a new verification step is added. It defaults to cleared or N when a new verification step is added, but can be changed to selected or Y at any time. |
| Load Ind | Load Indicator. Used to specify that the verification step should be automatically assigned to each person or application (depending on the Pers(on) Ind(icator) and Appl(ication) Ind(icator)) when an application is received electronically. Verification steps with a Load Ind(icator) of selected or Y are automatically loaded and displayed on the Electronic Application Process (SAAEAPS) page. Verification steps with a Load Ind(icator) of cleared or N are not automatically loaded, but may still be manually assigned to a person or application. This is a required field which defaults to cleared or N when a new verification step is added, but it can be changed to selected or Y at any time. |
