Morning Workshops
Equation Engine - It's for more than just packaging and tuition calc!
Student Information System (SIS) PeopleSoft On-premise Functional
Primary Presenters: Vic Goldberg - University of Colorado
Timeslot: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM
If you've used Equation Engine, you've probably used it for packaging or tuition calc. But did you know that you can use it to update tables? In fact, it's the only way to update CAF variables with different values for each student. We'll talk about how you can do these updates, and when you should (and shouldn't) do it! You can also use it for running a population selection in many places, and we'll go over how and why you might want to do that.
Learning Objectives:
- Use Equation Engine to update data in PeopleSoft tables
- Use Equation Engine to put student variable data into CAF variables
- Use Equation Engine to drive population selection
