Generate Course Staff Date-Tracking Data Utility

This feature creates the initial staff date records for courses once a building is ready to do so. The user can choose to exclude staff members, if desired. All available course-sessions are available to be updated.

1. Select Scheduling > Utilities > Setup Mass Updates > Generate Course Staff Date-Tracking Data.
2. Specify how to create records in the fields.

   • Delete Existing Course Staff Date Records - If checked, the utility will delete all existing Course Staff Date records for the selected courses.

   • Create Course Staff Date Records - If checked, Course Staff Date records will be created for primary and secondary staff members. If Course Staff Date records already exist for a course-session, the utility will skip that course-session.

   • Staff IDs to Skip - Use the selection list to exclude any staff from the utility. The list of course-sessions below will automatically refresh to include only courses that have at least one staff member not included in the list.

3. Use the filter to define the criteria to select the courses to process. Then click Load to display the list of applicable courses. All of these courses will be included when the utility is run.
4. To remove a course, select the checkbox to the left of the course name.
