Entering Activity Categories

You can group training activities into three types of category:

programs

classifications

packages

A program is a series of events that you schedule and administer as a group. Students can enroll on these events through the program. You create a program by scheduling some or all of the activities in a particular program category. You can include an activity in any number of program categories.

A classification is a category for reporting and inquiry purposes. For example, you might set up classifications that define the audience for an activity, such as Management, or Sales Staff. Also you might set up classifications that define the activities' mode of delivery, such as Day Release, Full Time Training and Structured Work Experience.

A package is a group of activities that, together, are subject to a special enrollment agreement.

Note: These three types of activity category do not need to be separate. When you define a category, you specify in which of these ways it can be used.

If you enter a category for an activity, then the category applies to all events for that activity.

To set up categories:

1. Define the categories you plan to use as values for the QuickCode Type ACTIVITY_CATEGORY.
