Note: Click the Activity Viewer button to the display the Activity Viewer so you can view the progression errors.
Refer to Use the Activity Viewer for further information.
The system warns you of any marked register slots for learners who are subject to the progression that will change the enrolment to a non-active progress status.
Where the progression is a non-active status, you are warned of any positive register marks that are in the future of the selected progress date. You can then proceed to progress unaffected enrolments, all enrolments, or cancel the progression.
When you set a learner on a course to a Withdrawn progress status, the process will ensure that the learner has no future register marks on the course being progressed beyond the progress date entered.
The system performs validation checks against the submitted progressions to identify any warning or error level blocks that prevent the progressions from completing. When there are no warning or error level blocks identified by the validation checks, the submitted progressions are completed.
If warning or error level blocks are identified by the validation checks, the details are stored in the Activity Viewer and the submitted progressions are not completed. Each set of progressions is allocated a unique batch number. The Activity Viewer displays error level blocks, warning level blocks, and items that should progress successfully.
If you select the Ignore Warnings check box, the system will alert you to any warnings or errors that prevent the progressions from being completed but will ignore the warnings.
The following warning level blocks are used for progressions:
- There is a marked register slot for a date later than the progress date and the progression is from an active to a non-active status
- The target course is over-subscribed and the target course occurrence Over Enrol Action setting is set to Create Record in Waiting List or Over Subscription Warning Message
- The source enrolment has future marked register slots (that is: later than the progress date specified)
- Duplicates are created of the target course occurrence and the global duplicate setting is set to Duplicates Allowed But Warning Given
