6. Academic Unit Prompting In the SINA Report • Reference email: CATCOM Insider News - academic unit value prompting • The Academic Unit prompt is really a “Plan Owner” prompt. • This is why the prompt list includes divisions and colleges • Selecting a division and/or college will only report for the plans that are owned by the division and/or college. It will not “expand” out to include all plans owned at the lower levels; i.e., a college selection will not include the division owned or unit owned plans within that college nor will a division selection include the unit owned plans within that division. • The prompting is based on what is found in the Student Advisor History – you will see some divisions and colleges that no longer own any plans

7. Academic Unit Prompting In the SINA Report • I have submitted an request to IRM to create and populate a “College” field in Student Advisor Data ODS. • This will provide the ability to design student advisor data reports that prompt at the college level (and get all data inclusive within the organization tree)
