Revision History
Contents
Setting up code tables is very different from creating user-defined fields in the system. An
Ellucian-defined set of code tables is included with your PowerCAMPUS system and each
corresponds to one or more fields in the baseline system. These code tables will allow you
to maintain consistency across the data entered by users at your institution, since only the
values that are system-defined or defined by your institution in the associated code table
may be selected. On the other hand, user-defined fields will allow your institution to create
new fields in order to track information that is not available in the PowerCAMPUS
baseline system. User-defined fields can be created by the system administrator using the
User Defined setup, located under Tools: Setup in the System Administrator Setflow.
These fields will then be available for entry on the User Defined window of the
appropriate workflow.
A user-defined field must be created when neither a code table nor a data entry field
currently exist for data that your institution is required to track.
In order to efficiently run PowerCAMPUS, these code table values should be established
before data entry or conversion of data begins. A limited number of personnel should be
given a security profile that allows them to enter code table values. An important part of
the establishment of code table values is analyzing where each value will be used for both
data entry and retrieval. The coding should enable you to select, sort and statistically
analyze data in a logical manner. For more information about establishing this coding, see
“Code Table Values”.
Office
You may view descriptions for each individual code table in the Code Tables Descriptions
section. All code tables can be accessed from the System Administrator Setflow; however,
many of the code tables are only accessible from specific ‘offices’. In this usage, the term
‘office’ includes each individual PowerCAMPUS setflow.
Offices describe the area(s) in which each code table is used and will be listed in the
individual code table descriptions. For example, the Honors code table is only available
from the Admissions Setflow and the Academic Records Setflow because of its use in the
Transcripts Workflow. For lists of the code tables separated out by office see Code Tables
by Office in the appropriate PowerCAMPUS setflow manual.
Note
The specific code tables necessary to a data window or process will be
listed as a part of the documentation for that data window or process.
The “Code Tables Reports” contains all of the code tables-related reports on the system.
The Code Tables tool can be accessed from the Tools pull-down menu of the Main Menu
Bar. The Code Tables sheet has the same command buttons and Start with capability of the
sheets available from PowerCAMPUS workflows, except that the Start with function here
takes you to the code value beginning with the letter entered in the highlighted table rather
than to the code table beginning with that letter. The code tables associated with the
current setflow are listed on the left of the window. Once you have selected a specific code
table with which to work, the values currently existing for that code table will display on
the right.
Note
You can change the Code (Key) after saving the record as long as you
have not used that code yet in the system. This will allow you to change
your mind on how you want to code your values during the initial setup of
the system. Once the code has been used in the system, however, you
must change its Status to Inactive in order for it to not be accessible for
use.
The Code will automatically default with what was entered for the Code (Key) and is
grayed out to prevent entry.
The Status of code values may be flagged as Active or Inactive. At times, institutions will
find it necessary to change the way records are coded. Inactivating a code will prevent you
from entering the code in a record. Inactive values will not display during data entry.
Records entered previously will still maintain the coding as it was entered when the value
was active.
Note
If codes have been inactivated, the code description will no longer display
on the data window. Instead, the Code itself will be displayed or printed.
However, the code description will still display on reports.
A Short Description (length of 10), a Medium Description (length of 20) and a Long
Description (length of 40) of each code value should be entered in these fields. The
Medium Description will display in the code table drop down list boxes during data entry
and retrieval. Which description will display on reports depends upon how much space is
available.
Note
The Gift Club Report code table varies in length for short, medium and
long description fields from the other code tables. The short and medium
descriptions for this code table have a length of 30 and the long
description has a length of 64.
Tip
The concept of short, medium and long descriptions was developed as a
way to avoid truncating descriptions on reports. It is recommended that
you use upper and lower case lettering when creating the Short
Description, Medium Description and Long Description, because these
descriptions will display throughout the system on various data windows
and reports and on mailings handled in the Mail Merge Processing
Workflow.
If your institution is also running the 4.X version of Campus for Windows, the
corresponding code value should be entered in the Version 4.X Code and Version 4.X
Description fields. This will allow for proper mapping to take place between the two
systems. For example, the PowerCAMPUS value for the fall session may be Fall;
whereas, in the 4.X version of Campus for Windows, the fall session may have been coded
as ‘1’.
1. Select any setflow. From the Main Menu Bar, select Tools, and then select Code
Tables.
2. Select the appropriate code table from the list of code tables on the left-hand side of
the window.
The existing code table values, if any, will display in the Code Value list on the right-
hand side of the window.
3. Click File, and then click New to create a new code table value. To edit an existing
code table value, select the appropriate code table value. The Code Value window
will display.
4. Enter or edit the Code (Key), Short Description, Medium Description, and Long
Description for the code value. The Code will automatically default with what was
entered for the Code (Key). The Status will default to Active but can be changed.
Note
Some code tables may have additional fields that are required. For more
information, see “Code Table Descriptions”.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all of the code table values have been entered/edited
for the selected code table.
Tip
It is not necessary to complete the Version 4.X Code and Version 4.X
Description fields unless you are also running the 4.X version of Campus
for Windows or wish to track the code and description from your previous
system. These two fields are for reference only.
Once the Code (Key) has been used in the database, it must not be edited or deleted. You
must inactivate the code value and enter the new code table value. The inactive code table
values will no longer display in the drop-down list boxes within PowerCAMPUS for
selection; however, leaving them in the database will ensure the integrity of the existing
data.
All of the code tables included in the PowerCAMPUS are listed below.
Note
All of these code tables can be accessed by selecting Tools: Code Tables
in the System Administrator Setflow.
Code tables
The code tables are described in the following sections.

The general areas that an inquiry or applicant is interested in pursuing can be tracked using
this code table. Examples of academic interests might include: Arts, Science, and Pre-
Med. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 6 characters, and this code table is
applicable to Admissions.
Tip
If the Short Description or Medium Description fields are modified for the
Academic Interest code table, the system administrator will need to run
the stored procedure sp_correct_acainterestsum.
Example of the field location in the system: Academic Interest window of the
Inquiries Workflow and the Applicants Workflow.
Academic rating
This code table holds values that can be used to describe a student’s academic rating.

academic standings might include: probation, suspension and dean’s list, as well as
Tip
This code table will be removed in a later version of PowerCAMPUS and
replaced with the Award Value code table. Currently, in order for the
Standing field to work properly, this code table's values should be inputted
to match those of the Award Value code table exactly.
Accreditation
Many institutions are tracked throughout the PowerCAMPUS system for recruiting
purposes and as sources of transfer students and credits. The accreditation(s) earned by
these institutions can be tracked using this code table. In addition, your institution may
code its own accreditation status. Examples of accreditations might include: Middle
States, medical associations, accredited, and not accredited. The length of the Code (Key)
is restricted to 6 characters, and this code table is applicable to Academic Records, and
Admissions.

Regen tool.
Action type
This code table is used to record the different types of actions that you wish to track for
people or organizations. Examples of action types might include: letters, emails, phone
calls, interviews, and meetings.
Prompts also exist to differentiate types of letters, if a letter is the selected action type.
Selecting the PowerCAMPUS Letter checkbox means that letters of this type will be
generated using the PowerCAMPUS Mail Merge. This insures that the form letter and data
file locations are saved properly for the action. An action flagged as an Access Mail Merge
Letter is a letter that is created and maintained using the MS Access form. Although letters
of this type are generated outside of the PowerCAMPUS system, the form allows you to
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 6 characters, and this code table is applicable
to Academic Records, Admissions, Advancement, Billing, Cash Receipts, and System
Administrator.
Tip
If you think you may wish to send certain letters by email after running the
mail merge, be sure to flag the action type for emails as PowerCAMPUS
Letter.
The Type (view only) and Select Action Types fields are populated by this code table.

Workflow.
This code table is not supported beyond PowerCAMPUS 6.32. The length of the Code
(Key) is restricted to 10 characters.
Activity code
This code table should be used to hold any extracurricular activities for an inquiry/
applicant. Activity codes are a subset of activity types. Examples of activity codes might
include: Baseball, Key Club, and Honor Society.
An activity type must be associated with each activity code, so the Activity Type code
table should be set up prior to this table. Then, when entering activities on the Activity
window, only associated activity codes will display for each activity type. The length of
the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this code table is applicable to
Admissions.
Example of the field location in the system: Activity window of the Inquiries
Workflow and the Applicants Workflow.

Examples of activity types might include: athletics, community service, and student
government. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this code
table is applicable to Admissions.
Note
Build this table prior to your Activity Code code table because an activity
type will be required in that table.
The Type and Activity Type fields are populated by this code table.
Every address entered on the system must be coded with an address type. Address Type is
used to define the address. Examples of address types might include: home, local,
business, summer, and campus.
The person or organization’s Preferred Address will also be selected from these types and
will determine the default address to which all mailings are sent. However, a specific
address type can be selected as the Preferred Address for each mailing record. For more
information, see Mailings in People or Organizations. If an address type becomes inactive
or expires, the address type will automatically be reassigned based upon the hierarchy for
address records. For more information, see Understanding Date Driven Addresses in
People or Organizations.
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this code table is applicable
to Academic Records, Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash Receipts.
Note
If new address type code values are created, or are inactivated, the
AddressHierarchy and the AddressHierarchyUnique tables will be
automatically updated.
The Address Type, Address, and Preferred Address fields are populated by this code
table.

An attendance date can also be assigned to the status of the student for a particular course.
Examples of daily attendance statuses might include: absent, present, and excused tardy.
Entry of daily attendance statuses can be done by using the Attendance window of the
Students Workflow in the Academic Records Setflow in PowerCAMPUS, or by using the
Attendance window of the Gradebook page in Self-Service. For more information see
Students in Academic Records and the Self-Service for Faculty manual of the
documentation for Self-Service.
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this code table is
applicable to Academic Records.
Tip
The code values Present and Absent are system-defined. These should
not be modified. A Category of excused absence, unexcused absence,
excused tardy, unexcused tardy or present must be assigned to each
daily attendance status.
Note
Each category may only be assigned to one daily attendance status.
Example of the field location in the system: Attendance Status window of the Students
Workflow.
This code table holds values that can be used to describe attributes or characteristics for a
catalog entry, section, person, campus, building, or room. Examples of attributes might
include: air conditioning, lab desks, flexible configuration, chalkboards, and handicap
accessible. Other examples of attributes include: smoker, non-smoker, interest in alumni
trips, etc. Each entry must have at least one attribute type selected: Day, Campus,
Building, Room, Resource, Event, Section, Time, or People. The length of the Code (Key)
is restricted to 10 characters, and this code table is applicable to Academic Records,
Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash Receipts.
Note
When Event Attribute is selected or deselected, Section Attribute will
automatically be selected or deselected but can be changed. The
Attributes drop down list box on the Attributes window, available from any
people-related workflow, as well as the Catalog, Sections and Facility
Management Workflows, will include both days set up in the Day of Week
code table and the values set up in this code table.
Attributes are used by the Master Scheduler process to schedule courses. If the only
attribute type selected for an attribute is the People Attribute, then the Master Scheduler
process will ignore it when scheduling courses.
Each entry must also have either the Sum the quantity of attributes or the Take the
maximum quantity of attributes radio button selected. This selection is used by the Master
Scheduler process when combining attributes for course sections and by faculty members
who are teaching the course sections.
For more information about the Master Scheduler process, see Master Scheduler in
Master Scheduler.
The Attribute and Attribute (view only) fields are populated by this code table.
Award type
This code table is used to group award values. Examples of award types might include:
departmental and academic. Print Order determines the order in which the awards will
appear on data entry windows and any associated reports. The length of the Code (Key) is
Note
In order to link award types with one or more awards from the Award
Value code table, double-click on the magnifying glass. A drill down
window will display to allow entry of the award values.
Tip
The code values OVERSTND and TERMSTND are system-defined. Any
academic standing award values specifically associated with the
Academic Standing setup, located under Tools: Setup in the Academic
Records Setflow, should be linked to either OVERSTND or TERMSTAND.
The system-defined award values, OVERSTND and TERMSTND, will not
display in the Award Wizard process available from the Term Processing
Workflow. These award values are only applicable to the Academic
Standing setup. For more information about this setup, see Tools.
The Type and Award Typefields are populated by this code table.

The Charge/Credit code table is the main code table used in both the Billing and Cash
Receipts systems. It enables the setup of charges, credits, cash receipts, and financial aid
coding structure. All entries that will affect a person/organization’s statement or balance
must be set up here. Examples of charge or credits might include: tuition, graduation fees,
insurance fees, and dorm fees or deposits, as well as financial aid such as PELL grants and
SEOG. If your institution uses multiple accounts receivable (A/R) accounts that depend on
the student’s program, college, degree, or curriculum, each variation must be established
as a separate charge or credit. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters,
and this code table is applicable to Billing, and Cash Receipts.
This code table populates dozens of fields throughout the PowerCAMPUS system and is
absolutely essential if you are running either the Billing module or the Cash Receipts
module of PowerCAMPUS.
In order to build this code table quickly and efficiently and be prepared to begin using
your billing system, follow the workflow below:
2. Set up all other billing-related code tables first, leaving the Charge or Credit (Code)
code table for last.
3. Use the Charge or “Code Tables Template”, found in the appendix of Code Tables, to
help define your code values on paper first.
4. Set up the Charge/Credit (Code) code table, being sure to save cash receipt code
values for last. Other codes, such as those for financial aid, will be prompted for when
setting up your cash receipt code values.
5. If you are going to use either the Academic Records Setflow or the Cash Receipts
Setflow to enter miscellaneous cash receipts, set up as many codes as you have cash
accounts. You may edit the credit account on the Cash Receipts Distribution pop-up
either on the Receipts window of the Registration Workflow in the Academic Records
Setflow or the Receipts window of the Cash Receipts Workflow in the Cash Receipts
Setflow.
Note
The Charge/Credit code table cannot be accessed using the Academic
Records Setflow.
6. Complete all options under Tools: Setup in the Billing Setflow prior to entering
student information into the billing system.
The Code (Key) is the system identifier that you wish to use for this charge or credit code.
The Code will default based upon the Code (Key) and the Status will default to Active.
Note
Once a charge or credit code has been used anywhere in the
PowerCAMPUS system, do not change the Code (Key) for the charge or
credit code. Instead, inactivate the incorrect code, by changing its Status
to Inactive, and create a new code.
Tip
A Type of charge, credit, financial aid, or cash receipt must be assigned to
each charge or credit that is entered. When entering the Type, you can
select 'C' to bring up the Charge type. Selecting 'C' again will change the
type to Credit. Selecting it a third time will change the type to Cash
Receipt. Descriptions for each of the charge or credit entries must be set
up here. Keep in mind that the Long Description is used on statements.
Going ahead the Taxable checkbox will determine if the amount of this charge, credit,
cash receipt or financial aid code can have taxes applied to it.
The Include in Payment Option check box is used to determine if this charge or credit
code is to be included in determining the amount due per statement for students that have
elected a payment option. All charge or credit codes will be included in the payment
option by default, but this can be changed if necessary.
Note
The Include in Payment Option checkbox is not related to payment plans
in any way. Students may opt for either a payment plan or a payment
option, or they may elect not to follow either payment assistance program.
For more information, see Understanding Student Payment Assistance
Programs.
• Select the Fin (financial) Aid Eligible check box to indicate if a charge can be
paid off by financial aid. Charges such as library fines and dorm damage may not
be able to be paid by any financial aid that a student receives.
• Select the Eligible for Refund checkbox for those charge or credits that can be
adjusted if a student decreases his credit load or has had some sort of circumstantial
change that affects his bill, such as a dorm or meal plan change.
• Select the Beginning Balance checkbox if the charge record that gets created at the
end of a fiscal year, which records a student’s outstanding balance, becomes the
beginning balance record for the new fiscal year. Do not select Beginning Balance
Note
Only select the Beginning Balance checkbox for the actual code value
that represents the beginning balance code. There should be one charge
or credit code flagged as Beginning Balance for each accounts receivable
account in your institution’s chart of accounts. For more information, see
Beginning Balance in Billing.
• Select the Detail Present checkbox on a charge or credit record if those charge or
credits that are uploaded into the PowerCAMPUS system have a summary record
in the ChargeCredit table and the supporting detail information in the
ChargeCreditLine table.
For example, each line item of detail on a phone bill may be uploaded into the
ChargeCreditLine table. However, only the overall telephone bill amount is
uploaded into the ChargeCredit table and printed on statements. Most, if not all, of
your entries will leave the Detail Present check box deselected.
A 1098-T Type of tuition and related expenses, scholarships or grants, or not applicable
must be assigned to each charge or credit that is entered. This information is used when
generating the 1098-T form. For more information, see Taxpayers Relief Act.
Note
The 1098-T Type field defaults Not Applicable for all new code table
entries and is disabled for charge or credit codes with a Type of Cash
Receipt, since cash receipts are not included in the 1098-T calculations.
Indicate the Amount of the charge or credit and whether the amount is calculated as a per
credit or flat fee amount. If the Handle/Late Fee check box is selected, you may also
choose to enter a percentage amount.
Note
The Amount may be entered as $0.00 for charges that can vary in
amount, such as library or parking fines. Charge/credit codes that are
intended to be section fees, such as course or lab fees that can vary in
amount based upon the type of course or number of credits for the
course, may also be set to $0.00 or any other amount and then changed
when the fee is linked to the course.
For example, you may have a flat $100.00 course fee and then wish to
add that same course fee to twenty different sections, all with different flat
or per credit amounts. However, charge or credit codes that have a
specific rate amount for the academic year/term, such as a flat tuition rate
or flat meal plan rate, should be created with the actual amount and
should not be changed mid-term, after the charge or credit code has been
used in an assessment rule.
In other words, you must not initially set the amount of a charge or credit
Tip
Negative amounts for charges, credits, cash receipts, and financial aid will
display in red throughout the system on windows such as those of the
People Billing, Organization Billing and Cash Receipts Workflows. The
GL Account 1 (Debit) and GL Account 2 (Credit) fields must be completed
for each charge or credit code value.
There are two ways to enter the GL accounts for each charge or credit
code. One is to manually enter the GL account ID. Upon entering the GL
account ID, the system will confirm that the account ID is valid. The other
is to use the Chart of Accounts search, available from the Search pull-
down menu of the Main Menu Bar, to select the appropriate accounts.
Note
All charge or credits to be used for a person or organization must either
debit or credit an accounts receivable account. Only cash receipts used
for miscellaneous cash received from an organization can debit or credit
any account, as long as the cash receipt is not associated with any
specific charge. However, if organizations, such as those that are
sponsors, are receiving charges, then you will want to set up cash receipt
codes for organizations that will credit an accounts receivable account.
Tip
Codes flagged as Beginning Balance must have an A/R account entered
as the debit account. The credit account cannot also be an accounts
receivable account. An account is flagged as an A/R Account using the
Chart of Accounts Workflow in either the Billing or Cash Receipts Setflow.
Tip
You will receive a warning message if a debit account ID and credit
account ID are the same. You may continue if this is a valid setup. For
example, the payment plan offset charge or credit code is set up in this
manner. For more information, see Payment Plan in Billing.
Statement Type displays a drop down list box of the values in the
Statement Type code table. Statement types group charge or credit rows
together on statements.
Summary Type displays a drop down list box of the values in the
Summary Type code table. Summary types group charge or credit codes
together to provide summary financial information and summary views of
data. For more information about these code tables, see Summary Type
and Statement Type.
Print Order applies to all charge or credits entered in this code table.
Statements and other reports will print all charge or credits first by entry
date order then by print order. Print order can be numbered from 001
through 999. The Print Order does not have to be unique for each charge
or credit code. You may want to group different types of code values in a
specific range of numbers. Leave spaces in your numbering scheme for
Print Order and Distribution Order. You may need to add code values after
your initial setup of the code table.
Going ahead the Distribution Order of a charge must be entered in order to indicate in
what priority order charges are to be paid off by a cash receipt, financial aid, or a credit.
For example, you may want tuition to be paid off first (distribution order 001), followed
by student fees (distribution order 002) and health (distribution order 003). The
outstanding charges are sorted first by the distribution order and then by the oldest date.
For now, Distribution Order is not a required field.
• Select the Overload check box to indicate that the charge being set up is an
overload charge. An overload charge will be charged to students who exceed the
course credit base amount.
You must enter a Course Credit Base amount when setting up an overload charge. If you
assess an overload charge for credits taken above a certain amount, enter that amount as
the course credit base. Any credits taken above that base amount will be assessed the
overload charge amount (flat fee or per credit).
Note
Project ID is currently not available.
The Associated Fin Aid Code is used only with cash receipt charge or credit codes. This
field will be used by the PowerCAMPUS Charge or Credit Import process, by the Cash
Receipts Workflow in the Cash Receipts Setflow, and by the Registration Workflow in the
Academic Records Setflow when anticipated financial aid is reduced by the amount of a
cash receipt. For example, a bank loan is showing as anticipated aid on a student’s
account. When the check is received, the anticipated aid will be either reduced (if not fully
received) or voided (if fully received). The charge or credit code value for this cash receipt
must be set up with the associated financial aid code it can reduce. The drop down list box
on the field Associated Fin Aid Code will be available for entry only for charge or credit
codes set up with a Type of Financial Aid.
The Fin Aid Upload Code is used to indicate the corresponding Fund ID in PowerFAIDS,
if this financial aid system is used. When the PowerFAIDS Interface to PowerCAMPUS
process is run, the upload code is used to convert the data into PowerCAMPUS with the
correct PowerCAMPUS code.
Note
Each new academic year, new fund IDs are assigned in PowerFAIDS.
When the new Fund IDs are available in PowerFAIDS, you MUST update
the Fin Aid Upload Code field with the new Fund ID in PowerFAIDS for
each of the corresponding financial aid codes in PowerCAMPUS. For
more information about setting up fund IDs, see the Funds and Manual
Packaging chapter of the documentation for PowerFAIDS.
The Fin Aid Fee is used if the code value being entered has a type of financial aid and
needs to subtract a fee from the awarded amount. This is usually the case for loans. Select
either None, Flat Fee, Percentage, Flat & Percentage, or Percentage & Flat.
The difference between Flat & Percentage and Percentage & Flat is the order in which the
financial aid amount is reduced. For example, if you select Flat & Percentage, the amount
will be reduced first by the flat amount specified and then by the percentage amount
specified. If you select Percentage & Flat, the amount will be reduced first by the
percentage amount. Depending on what was entered in Financial Aid Fee, you can enter
either the Fin Aid Flat Fee, the Fin Aid % Fee, none, or both. For example, Stafford Loans
are reduced by 4 % of the awarded amount. In the case, the Financial Aid Fee would be
Percentage and the Fin Aid % Fee would be '4.00'.

Tip
Depending upon whether your institution posts pledges or not, the GL
accounts entered for various gift forms will be different.
If your institution does not post pledges and instead makes one journal entry in the general
ledger for the amount of the outstanding pledges they are likely to receive:
• The GL Account Debit AND the GL Account Credit would be a gift income
account when recording pledges.
• The GL Account Debit would be a cash account (balance sheet account) and the
GL Account Credit would be a gift income account when recording pledge
payments.
• The GL Account Debit would be a cash account (balance sheet account) and the
GL Account Credit would be a gift income account when recording outright gifts.
Note
Each Category may only be assigned to one gift form. For example, a gift
form of Pledge would be linked to the Category of Pledge. There cannot
be any other gift form with the Category of Pledge. Consider using the
Pledge Type, Tender or Gift Type field, available on either the Pledges or
the Gifts window of the Donor Processing Workflow, to track different
types of gifts and pledges.
A Credit Percentage must be assigned to each gift form. This is the percentage of the gift
for which the donor receives credit. For example, an individual may receive credit for
100% of an outright gift, while an organization receives credit for 0% of a matching gift.
Memberships and pledges do not receive any credit.

The installment charge code will be used to create the installment charges and the offset
credit code will be used to create an offset to those charges.
1. Tuition and fees are assessed to the student and can be used to determine the payment
plan amount.
2. The payment plan amount is used to create installment charges that are associated
with due dates.
3. Since the installment charges are added to the student’s account, an equal offsetting
credit amount must be created so that the student’s balance is not affected.
4. You will now be able to track the payment plan receivable account as well as the
lump sum offset to the receivables.
When setting up the Installment Charge/Credit Code, the general ledger accounts should
be receivable accounts. The GL Account 1 (Debit) should be a Payment Plan Receivable
account and the GL Account 2 (Credit) should be the student receivable account. You can
set up an installment charge code for each of your student receivable accounts.
The Offset Charge/Credit Code should be a debit and credit to the same ‘fund balance’
account. The balance to this account will always be zero.
The Late Fee Charge/Credit Code must exist first in the Charge/Credit (Code) code table
in order to be selected from the drop down list box. This late fee, assessed on charges that
are overdue, can be a flat amount or a percentage of the total amount.
Note
Although payment plan charge/credit code values of the type Cash
Receipt do not need to be set up at the time during which the payment
plan code values are being established, they must be set up prior to
entering cash receipts against the payment plan installment codes. For
these charge/credit code values, the GL Account 1 (Debit) should be a
cash account and the GL Account 2 (Credit) should be the payment plan
receivable account.
For more information about handling and late fees, see “Charge/Credit”.
The Minimum First Installment Amount or the Minimum First Installment Percent fields
can be used to indicate whether the first installment should be an amount different from
the other installment charges. You may select one or the other. When the payment plan is
created, this will be the amount for the first installment. The total payment plan balance
amount minus this installment will be distributed to the remaining installments.
The Payment Plan, and Payment Plan (view only) fields are populated by this code
table.

table is applicable to Academic Records, Admissions, and Advancement.
Note
When specifying the path name, a back slash (\) is required at the end of
the path. The picture will not display without the ending back slash,
because the name of the folder and that of the .bmp or .jpg image file will
be combined. PowerCAMPUS will then read this combination as the File
Name and will not be able to locate it. The Picture URL field would be
used for storing pictures used in Self-Service.

is restricted to 10 characters, and this code table is applicable to Advancement.
A Number of Payments and a Number of Months can be assigned to each pledge term.
The number of payments and months will default at pledge entry but may be overridden.
Send Reminders can also be selected to default for each pledge term but may be
overridden.
If you wish to specify the exact months for each pledge term, you may select the
appropriate check box for each month in Months for Payments. The selected months will
default at pledge entry but may be overridden. For example, if you have a specific pledge
campaign in which you always take payments in April and September, you could default
these months as selected for the pledge term.
Note
Please keep in mind, if you choose to default specific months as selected
months, you will need to adjust the Start Date to match the first month
selected. In the example above, this would mean that, if you enter a
pledge for April and September in February, you may leave the Pledge
Date as a February date but will need to adjust the Start Date to a date in
April.

This code table holds code values for section fee groups. The code value All is system-
defined and cannot be modified. This code value is the default section fee group. These
groups can be assigned to section fees on the Fees window of the Sections Workflow. For
more information, see Sections in Academic Records.
The Rank field allows you to establish the hierarchy of the section fee groups. The All
section fee group is by default 000, indicating that every student will receive the section
fees associated with this group, if it exists on the Fees window of the Sections Workflow.
Students can fall into more than one section fee group but, in terms of assessments,
students can only meet One other section fee group in addition to the All section fee
group, if it exists on the Fees window. This is accomplished by setting up the rank in
ascending order from the most specific group to the most general group. Each Rank must
be unique and, the lower the rank is, the higher precedence it takes when determining
which section fees group should be selected during assessments.
Each student will be assessed the section fees associated with the All group, if it exists on
the Fees window, and those associated with the First additional group for which the
student meets the corresponding view, based upon the lowest rank number.
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this code table is
applicable to Academic Records.
Tip
Because students can only meet one other section fee group in addition
to the All section fee group, you will need to carefully evaluate the section
fee groups you create and their sort orders.
Assume you have the following section fee groups and sort orders: All
000, Undergraduates 001, Graduates 002, In State 003, and Out of State
004.
Assume a course has the following section fees: Laptop Fee $5000.00
(flat) ALL, Course Fee $500.00 (per credit) In State and $600.00 (per
credit) Out of State.
Students may only meet one other section fee group (based upon lowest
rank) in addition to the All section fee group. So for this course, the In
State and Out of State section fee groups are more important than the
Undergraduate and Graduate section fee groups. This means you may
want to reevaluate the sort orders on your section fee groups. However,
for another course, the Undergraduate and Graduate section fee groups
may be more important than the In State and Out of State section fee
The Group View field allows you to select the view that corresponds with each section fee
group. The drop down list box will display all views that are stored on the database to
which PowerCAMPUS is connected. Views created using the Vista Views tool will
display a magnifying glass icon to the left of each view name. Views created using another
tool, such as Enterprise Manager or MS Access, will display with a glasses icon to the left
of each view name.
Each view contains the students who will receive the section fee(s) associated with each
section fee group on the Fees window of the Sections Workflow. The All section fee group
will not be linked to a view because all students fall into this group.
Note
Each view must contain the following columns in order to be selected for a
section fee group: People_Code_ID, Academic_Year, Academic_Term
and Academic_Session. If the selected view does not contain all of these
columns, a warning message will display. These columns can be from any
table that contains the four required columns, such as the Academic table
or the TranscriptDetail table.
Views not created using the Vista Views tool must not contain spaces or
any punctuation, because syntax errors will result either when saving the
section fee group or during the assessment process itself.
When the section fee group is saved, a stored procedure (spAssessGroup) is automatically
created for the section fee group and view selected. There is a stored procedure called
spGenerateAssessGroup that creates spAssessGroup and will be run with each version
upgrade in order to maintain your section fee groups. This stored procedure will be called
when students are assessed.
Tip
It is recommended that you verify that the section fee group logic was
added to the spAssessGroup stored procedure. If the spAssessGroup
stored procedure does not contain a section for each section fee group,
assessment results will not be correct. If for some reason you do not see
a section for each section fee group, you may manually run
spGenerateAssessGroup in MS SQL Server’s Query Analyzer to rebuild
the spAssessGroup stored procedure.
Note
The section fee assessment process will determine and return the groups
for which a student matches and assess only the section fees associated
with those groups. The Rank and Group View fields may not be blank;
therefore, you should identify the rank order and create the views prior to
creating the section fee groups.
Session
Sessions should be coded if terms (semesters) are broken down into a number of different
starting and ending dates. You can use sessions to group courses that are scheduled for the
same period of time. There can be multiple sessions within a term. Examples of sessions
might include: full, first, and second. Numerical sessions could also be used. A Session
order within Term can be assigned to each session for displaying on views and reports.

(which prints the Long Description of the state in your letter) and City_St_Zip (a
concatenated field which prints the Short Description of the state). The length of the Code
(Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this code table is applicable to Academic Records,
Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash Receipts.
The SEVIS State Code field allows you to map the PowerCAMPUS state code value with
the corresponding codes recognized by SEVIS for reporting purposes.
The State, and Issuing State fields are populated by this code table.
Statement message
This code table allows you to establish the various messages to be printed on a statement.
Each code value refers to the message inputted in the text box for Message. The messages
may be categorized into four types, each of which can be selected from the Message Type
drop down list box. These are Positive balance messages, Negative balance messages,
General messages, and Anticipated credit messages. The length of the Code (Key) is
restricted to 5 characters, and this code table is applicable to Billing, and Cash Receipts.
The positive balance message type indicates messages that should print when the balance
of the statement is positive. The negative balance message type indicates messages that
should print when the balance of the statement is negative. The general message type
indicates messages that will be printed on all statements generated. When printing
statements, you can select which general messages are to print. The anticipated credit
message type indicates messages that should print if a student has anticipated aid.
Example of the field location in the system: Message window of the report setup for
the Statements report.
Statement type
This code table is used when printing multiple statements per person/organization.
Charge/credit rows of the same statement type are grouped on one statement. This allows
several separate statements to be printed for each person/organization. Examples of
statement types might include: a general student statement type for all tuition related
charge/credits, a payment option statement, a sponsor statement, a faculty statement, a rent
statement for organizations to whom you are leasing office space, and a general

The Statement Type, and Statement Type (view only) fields are populated by this code
table.
Status (application)
These code values are used to define the status of applications. Examples of application
statuses might include: received, incomplete, complete, and committee review. The
statuses that are considered confirmed and the statuses that are considered canceled must
be indicated. If an application has an accepted decision and a confirmed status, the
applicant will automatically be converted to a student. An application with a canceled
status means that either the applicant or your institution has terminated the application
process. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this code table is
applicable to Admissions.
The Status, and Application Status (view only) fields are populated by this code table.
Status (inquiry)
These code values are used to define the status of inquiry records. Examples of inquiry
statuses might include: received inquiry, has applied, and no longer interested. The
statuses that are considered converted and the statuses that are considered canceled must
be indicated. If an inquiry record has a converted status, the inquiry will automatically be
converted to an applicant. An inquiry record with a canceled status means that either the
inquiry or your institution has terminated the inquiry process. The length of the Code
(Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this code table is applicable to Admissions.
The Status, and Inquiry Status (view only) fields are populated by this code table.
This code table should list any reasons that would prevent a student from registering for
courses or receiving grades. These reasons can be academic or financial in nature or for
purposes of maintaining address information. Examples of stop list reasons might include:
academic suspension, overdue fines, outstanding balance and expired address information.
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this code table is applicable
to Academic Records, Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash Receipts.
Selecting the Stop Registration check box means that the system will block registration
with an error message. Selecting the Stop Grades check box means that the system will
give a warning message when printing report cards or transcripts. The warning message
for Stop Grades may or may not be over-ridden by the operator depending on an indication
made in Grades setup, located under Tools: Setup in the Academic Records Setflow.
Selecting Show Stop Picture means that the system will display a stop sign icon and the
Stop List Reasons can be manually assigned and cleared on the Stop List window.
However, some features in PowerCAMPUS provide an automated process for assigning
stop list reasons. Many wizards within PowerCAMPUS prompt for the assignment of a
stop list reason, such as the Late Fee Assessment wizard. However, at this time, the system
will not automatically clear the stop list reason once the balance has been paid. For more
information, see Billing Processing in Billing. Date Driven Address currently assigns and
clears Stop List Reasons. Date Driven Address setup provides the ability to select a stop
list reason when all addresses are about to expire and a stop list reason when all addresses
have expired. Once the stop list reason has been created here and then has been selected in
the Date Driven Address setup, the system will automatically assign the appropriate stop
list reason.
Stop List Reasons can also be globally assigned and cleared for overdue balances using
the Stop List Process, located in Billing Processing in Billing. For more information, see
Billing Processing in Billing.
Your institution can create each stop list reasons, specifying the code, short/medium/long
descriptions and what if anything the stop list reason will prevent. However, when date
driven address stop list reasons are automatically created by the system, the system will
additionally default the Description for each stop list reason on the Stop List window. The
description for the stop list reason selected when all addresses are about to expire is: "All
of your addresses are about to expire. Please submit your updated address information."
The description for the stop list reason selected when all addresses have expired is: "You
have no valid address information. Please submit your updated address information." At
this time, you are not able to define the default description for the date driven address stop
list reasons. For more information, see Date Driven Address setup in System
Administrator.
Example of the field location in the system: Stop List window of any people-related
workflow (including Registration and People Billing).
Sub cohort
Sub cohorts, or sub groupings of students, are tracked using this code table. Tracking sub
cohorts enables the institution to develop statistical reports based upon the sub groupings
within a cohort. Sub cohorts permit the institution to associate students with a sports team.
Examples of a sub cohort values are Baseball, Basketball, Football, Other, and Track/
Example of the field location in the system: Cohorts window of the Students
Workflow.
Suffix
All suffixes that you would use for a person’s name can be set up here to avoid redundant
data entry. Examples of suffixes might include: Jr., Sr., and M.D. The length of the Code
(Key) is restricted to 15 characters, and this code table is applicable to Academic Records,
Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash Receipts.
Tip
Since suffix is used throughout the system, the Code(Key) that you set up
for the suffix will default in the short, medium, and long descriptions and
cannot be changed.
Example of the field location in the system: Name window of any people-related
workflow (including Registration, Transcripts, and People Billing).
Summary type
This code table is used to group like charge/credits together to get summary financial
information and summary views of data. Examples of summary types might include:
beginning balance summary, tuition summary, student fee summary, miscellaneous fee
summary, cash receipts, and financial aid. A Sort Order may be assigned to each summary
type to indicate how it should sort on views and reports. The length of the Code (Key) is
restricted to 6 characters, and this code table is applicable to Billing, and Cash Receipts.
Tip
A summary type of CUM (Cumulative) will automatically be created with
the first entry to this code table. This summary type is used in reporting to
track the cumulative balance for an academic year and academic year/
term. A sort order of 000 and a long description of Previous Cum will be
given to this type.
The Summary Type, and Summary Type (view only and not labeled) fields are
populated by this code table.
Tenure status
This code table allows various tenure statuses to be created so that each faculty member
can be associated with one. Examples of tenure statuses might include: full tenure, under
review, and no tenure. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this
code table is applicable to Academic Records.
Tip
Since suffix is used throughout the system, the Code(Key) that you set up
for the suffix will default in the short, medium, and long descriptions and
cannot be changed.
Example of the field location in the system: Faculty Data window of the Faculty
Workflow.
Term
A term (semester) indicates a period of time within an academic year. There can be
multiple terms within an academic year. Examples of terms might include: Fall, Spring,
and Summer. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 10 characters, and this code
table is applicable to Academic Records, Admissions, Advancement, Billing, and Cash
Receipts.
A Term order within Chronological Year can be assigned to each term for displaying on
views and reports. The order is determined by the chronological order of terms within the
same academic year. For example, the 2000 academic year may consist of Fall, Winter,
Spring, and Summer. The chronological order of the terms for 2000 would most likely be
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall where Winter would be ‘001’, Spring would be ‘002’,
Summer would be ‘003 and Fall would be ‘004’.
Tip
Sort orders need to be unique because both page breaks and ordering on
reports are dependent on this order. If a report shows two terms on the
same page but all other terms on a separate page, your sort order is
duplicated on these two terms. The Session code table is available if
multiple time periods exist within a term. For more information, see
Session.
Test
This code table is where tests that are tracked by your institution are held. Examples of
tests might include: Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), and Graduate Records Exam (GRE). Each test can be identified as a
numeric or alpha test by selecting either the Numeric Scores or the Alpha Scores radio
button. You may also flag each test to keep a total score, a high total score, or an average
score. Test names and scores can also be printed on transcripts by selecting the Print on
Transcript check box.
The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 6 characters, and this code table is applicable
to Academic Records, and Admissions.
Note
If you select the Alpha Scores radio button, the Keep Total Score, Keep
High Total Score and Keep Average Score checkboxes will not be
available. These three options are only available for numeric tests.
The total score is the addition of the scores for each test type (subject) of a test taken on a
particular date. For example, selecting the Keep Total Score check box for an SAT test
would combine the scores for both the Math and the Verbal test types into a total SAT
score.
The average score is the average of the scores, regardless of test type (subject) for a test
taken on a particular test date. For example, selecting the Keep Average Score check box
for an SAT test would combine the scores for both the Math and the Verbal test types and
then divide the sum by two.
The high total score is the addition of the highest score for each test type (subject) for a
test regardless of test date. For example, selecting the Keep High Total Score check box
for the SAT test would, if a student took the SAT multiple times, combine the highest score
achieved for the Verbal test type with the highest score achieved for the Math test type into
a high total SAT score.
Tip
If any of the tests are flagged to keep total, high total, or average scores,
a maximum length of four (4) characters will be allowed for the Code
(Key).
Note
Build this table prior to your Test Type code table because a test will be
required in that table.
The Test, and Select Tests that will link to Test Type fields are populated by this code
table.
Test type
Test types indicate the type of test, the test subject, or the different scoring sections of a
test being tracked. Examples of test types might include: Reading Comprehension, Math,
Verbal, and Science. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this
code table is applicable to Academic Records, and Admissions.
High score within a test type can be tracked by selecting the Keep High Score check box.
A test type with High appended to the code value will automatically be created.
Tip
The system will also create test types for each of the totals that you
indicated you wanted to track in the Test code table. These include ZTOT
for Total, ZSHG for High Total, and ZTVG for Average.
Note
In order to link test types with one or more tests from the Test code table,
double click on the magnifying glass. A drill down window will display to
allow entry of the tests. Then, once a test is selected in the Test Scores
window for an inquiry, applicant or student, only associated test types will
display for that test.
Each transfer course may be broken down into subtypes. Since transfer subtypes can be
different than your institution's event subtypes, a different code table is provided.
Examples of transfer subtypes might include: lecture, lab, and self-study. A Sort Order
may be assigned to each subtype to indicate how it should sort within the transfer course
on views and reports. The length of the Code (Key) is restricted to 4 characters, and this
code table is applicable to Academic Records.
The Sub Type, Transfer Sub Type, and Transfer Sub Type (view only) fields are
populated by this code table.
Tuition exemption
