• Only students should have a coach_school_id and student_type_code
• Commonly implementers add students to external data that are "system active" so that they are available to SSP.  The litmus test would be: "Could the student walk off the street and register for courses?".  If so they should be available to SSP in the external data.
• The username must match the username that a user will use to log into SSP

• Most implementers load current and future term registrations
• Each row in the database should have a grade.  This is most important for the MAP plan status calculation process.  Planned courses will be evaluated by grade to determine the plan status based on a list of passing grades.  Null grades will not be considered during the calculation
• credit_type = Transfer is the only significant value.  All rows with 'Transfer' as the value will be displayed as a total hours calculation on the Details tab
• course_code is an optioned field for each row but must be populated from day 1 if the course_code matching criteria will be used in the plan status calculation

• The SAP Status Codes are defined in the configuration and matched with rows in the table to show the students current status along with the description configured.
• gpa_20_b_hrs_needed/gpa_20_a_hrs_needed: the original intent is to give students an indication of what they would have to accomplish to achieve an A or B GPA .  A & B level will vary for each school.  Traditionally, they would indicate a GPA representing an A (4.0) or B (3.0) using a standard calculation of earned/attempted.
• financial_aid_file_status is an overall status of all files in the external_student_financial_aid_file table

• SSP will display the rows in the table.  Most commonly implementers load the table for each term a student is offered financial aid along with the acceptance for that term.

• Most commonly implementers configured each required file to apply for and receive financial aid.  Each file has an individual status that is displayed in list form.

Many of the intake settings should match the values available in the SIS.  Most common:

• Most commonly implementers only load courses for the current term since alerts would not be submitted for past and future terms

• The same scope for courses and terms apply for the roster table
• The same tatus code mapping definitions used in the Main Tool Schedule Tab (rows in external_student_transcript_course) are translated for the roster rows during the Early Alert submission.

• MAP validates whether or not courses added to the plan are planned to be offered. Many implementers don't have future term assignments. When the information exists, the table should be populated with pairs of courses and terms. When the information doesn't exist, implementers commonly use two approaches:
  • Leave the table empty which will turn term validation off in MAP
  • Fabricate course-term assignments for future terms so users do not get validation error message. This does open a risk that courses will not be offered in future terms and thereby invalidating the course in the plan.

• The programs populate the program combo box filter used to select courses. The programs are not used for any other function in MAP.

• TAGS are only used to filter courses. The TAGs are not used for any other function in MAP.

 Defines the list of programs that can be added to the plan template definition.  Used in the MAP Tool.

• MAP validates whether or not courses added to the plan have satisfied the requisite rules in defined in the table. No rows in the table essentially turns off the course validation.
• The requisite rules allow for CO, PRE and PRE_CO but are limited to course pairs (2 course max)

• Substitution rules must contain information for the source and target courses for each optional matching criteria is turned on. That include course title, course hours and course code.
• When program code, term code and catalog year are not defined the substitution rules apply to all matching courses.

• This is only used when the plan status calculation is turned off.

By default, Notes are only available to Coach roles.  Implementers commonly add permissions to the Support Staff and Faculty roles

No security is applied to the rows.  If a user has access, all rows loaded into the table are visible are visible

Considerations

• The Accommodation tool is used only to store application and disposition information.  Security for access to the tool should be considered for the Coach role
• For any entries/records created in other SSP tools, the Confidentiality Level for Disability (or alternate) should be considered
