Enrollment Tab

This content is archived.

The Enrollment tab provides the most important functionality. The page enables you to combine a Credential and Person (photograph optional) to create an access privilege for each user.

By default, the available columns are Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, and Updated. If needed, the columns can be changed by clicking on the gear iconimage-20240506-130706.png

Please refer to Configure Column Headers for more details. 

Person Information

To access the Person Information screen click on the person row from the person list. This is where basic details about a person are entered.

The Credential(s) associated with this person are listed in the Credentials section (top table), and their person information is listed below. You can click the "<-Person Groups…" back link in the top left to return to the main list.

ID

This is a read-only field generated by the system. Each person's record has a unique ID.

Record Last Updated

This is a read-only field generated by the system indicating the date (MM/DD/YYYY) and time when this record was last updated.

Name (First, Middle, Last)

  • If required, select a prefix for this person from the picklist. 

    • Options include: Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Dr.

TAB1

A maximum of 10 tabs can be configured and used to place UDF 15 - 999 across the 10 tabs. This configuration needs to be done within the Velocity application. 

By default, only tab 1 is used with UDF 15 - 36.

Groups

This tab allows you to add the person to one or more groups. Person Groups need to be created within the Velocity application.

Additional Images

The Additional Images tab appears after the Person Information is added and saved.

This enables qualified operators to include more than one image for each person. This image can show side views or additional front views of the enrolled person as well as other identifying images.

Before you can access any additional images, you must first define the user placeholders in the User Defined Fields option within the Velocity application. 

Additional Notes

This tab provides a free-form large text field, organized by category, that can be used for site specific purposes related to individuals. 

Additional Notes are similar to UDFs but are intended for larger free-formatted text that is easy to read and edit.

Before you can access any additional notes, you must first define the Note Categories in the User Defined Setup - Additional Notes Tab in Velocity. If there aren't any Categories configured, the user won't be able to write notes.

Photo

The Photo field displays the photo of the person. 

The Edit Photo options are:

  • Upload Photo: Allows you to select and upload an existing photo file.

The Search in this group field allows you to search for any enrolled person based on first, middle, or last name in the selected Person Group. The Search screen looks like this.

The search results, by default, will show 10 records and appear instantly as you begin to type. The results are displayed as last name, first name, middle name, as shown below. 

Pressing Enter in the Search results will provide a filtered list within the Enrollment tab.

Depending on the user's role, the default option will be the first available Person Group. If we need to do a wider search we recommend using the "All AvailableGroups", where all the Person Groups available for the user's role will be merged in one person list for searching in all groups. 

The search results can be configured to display between 5 - 50 within Settings | Enrollment tab.

Advanced Search

When you click Advanced Search, the below window appears.

This window includes the following fields and buttons:

Field

This picklist provides a list of field names from the Person Information which you can use to search on.

For example, if you want to search for a person by their last name, you would select the Last Name option from the “Field” picklist.

Function 

 

Supply the first and second elements of the search argument you want to use for searching the person database.

(First Search Field Argument)

  • is: The person you are searching for is the second element.

  • is not: The person you are searching for is not the second element.

The possible values for the second element appear in this picklist and vary depending on your “Field” selection:

(Second Search Field Argument)

  • equal to: The person you are searching for has a value that is identical to the selected field value.

  • less than: The person you are searching for has a value less than that you specified in the 'Value' field.

  • greater than: The person you are searching for has a value greater than that you specified in the 'Value' field.

  • between: If you select a UDF that is defined as a date type, you can use this term. Two combo boxes appear into which you can enter the range of dates between which you want to search.

  • starting with: The person you are searching for has a value that starts with that you specify in the 'Value' field.

  • like: The person you are searching for has a value that is similar to the selected field value.

For example, if you specified a value of 'Smith' in the 'Value' field, Enrollment Manager searches for a value like 'Smith' such as 'Smithon' or 'Smithers'.

  • within: If you select a UDF that is defined as a date type, you can use this term. Three combo boxes appear: two boxes enabling you to determine the range of your search and a box specifying the period (e.g. an hour, 12 hours, a year) for which you are searching.

If you select either less than or greater than as a second search argument, a check box appears to the right of the second search argument picklist.

or equal to: This checkbox will appear if you select less than or greater than in the second search field argument. Check this box to indicate that the search term is actually less than or equal to, or greater than or equal to.

Depending on the size of the database there might be a delay in retrieving and populating this list.

Value Field

Enter a value for this search in this text window. The functions you selected above apply to this.

If your selected argument is “is equal to”, all values relevant to this Value Field appear. For example, if you specified Last Name in the 'Field' picklist and is equal to in the 'Function' picklist, all relevant last names appear in this field. Click to select one or more values relevant to your present search.

If you have selected either between or within as your second search argument, two new text fields appear like in this example:

If you specified an like condition and are trying to find a variation of the value you entered in the 'Value' field, use any of several wildcards including %, _, [ ], and [^].
