Reviewing Installation Setup and System Defaults

This chapter provides an overview of installation setup and system defaults and discusses how to:

Select general installation options.
Select country-specific information.
Select student administration installation options.
Set up primary permission list preferences.

Understanding Installation Setup and System Defaults

There are several settings on the system's installation pages that you should review before setting up any of the Campus Solutions applications. Specifically, you should review settings that point the system to the applications that you have installed, settings that begin and maintain incremental numbering, and settings that define basic default values throughout the system. It is a good idea to review the country codes and country address formats defined on the installation pages, too. If any of these settings are not correct or do not reflect the institution's design decisions, you could experience problems getting the system to operate properly.

Selecting General Installation Options

To set up general installation options, use the Installation Table component (INSTALLATION_TBL).

This section discusses how to:

Select installed applications.
Select product-specific values.
Set up ID numbering.

Note. Only the pages that are relevant for Campus Solutions are described here.

Pages Used to Select General Installation Options

Page Name	Object Name	Navigation	Usage
Products	INSTALLATION_TBL1	Set Up HRMS, Install, Installation Table, Products	Select which PeopleSoft applications and application parameters are installed on the system. Ensure that the settings on this page are accurate before using the Campus Solutions system.
Product Specific	INSTALLATION_TBL1A	Set Up HRMS, Install, Installation Table, Product Specific	Set up product-specific values for Campus Solutions.
Last ID Assigned	INSTALLATION_TBL2	Set Up HRMS, Install, Installation Table, Last ID Assigned	Set up ID assignment numbers for Campus Solutions.

Selecting Installed Applications

Access the Products page.

If the institution has installed only the Campus Solutions application, then clear the Human Resources check box and select the Student Administration check box. If Human Resources is selected but that application is not installed, values set to appear automatically in the Campus Solutions system might not appear, and you could get random error messages as you navigate through the system.

If you installed PeopleSoft Enterprise Contributor Relations, select the Contributor Relations check box, along with the Student Administration check box.

If the institution has installed both the HRMS and Campus Solutions applications, then select both the Human Resources and Student Administration check boxes. If you have both applications, you might review the other settings to determine if they are set properly for HRMS.

The Campus Self Service product combines a group of self-service applications. These applications are used with Campus Solutions. If you have installed this product or any self-service application, select the appropriate check box here.

Note. When both HRMS and Campus Solutions applications are installed, the Campus Solutions functions take precedence over HRMS. That is, where the two applications have similar features or the same tables, the system points to the Campus Solutions features or tables first.

Selecting Product-Specific Values

Access the Product Specific page.

Human Resources

EMPLID Field Length

Define the length of all new IDs created in the system for both people and organizations. The default value is 4 characters but can be changed to a maximum of 11. This value is used to calculate the number of zeros that will precede an ID when the system automatically generates a new ID.

For example, using the default length of 4, a system-generated ID or organization ID will be 0001, 0002, 0003, and so forth. When ID 9999 is generated, the system no longer inserts preceding zeros before the ID number. The next system-generated ID will be 10000.

Setting Up ID Numbering

Access the Last ID Assigned page.

Last Employee ID Assigned

Enter the next ID number that you want the system to assign, for both people and organizations, when the system automatically generates IDs.

Understanding Primary Permission Lists

When you are using the User Profiles Management process, it is necessary for you to set up primary permission lists when you give user IDs access to pages.

Use the Primary Permission List table to set predefined tableset sharing as well as systemwide defaults and settings for each of the primary permission lists. The system displays by default the values that you indicate for a particular permission list in the Primary Permission List Preferences table—such as business unit, setID, currency, country, or company code —when a user associated with that permission list logs in to Campus Solutions or Contributor Relations. You can tailor the Campus Solutions systems for each user, controlling the default values that users see on pages in the system.

Pages Used to Set Up Primary Permission List Preferences

Page Name	Object Name	Navigation	Usage
Defaults	OPR_DEF_TBL_HR	Set Up HRMS, Foundation Tables, Organization, Org Defaults by Permission List, Defaults	Set predefined tableset sharing and systemwide defaults for each primary permission list.
Settings	OPR_DEF_TBL_HR2	Set Up HRMS, Foundation Tables, Organization, Org Defaults by Permission List, Settings	Set the systemwide default settings for each permission list. By using this page, you can tailor the system for each permission list, controlling the default values that users see on pages in the system.
