Verify the Question Data Sources for the Education Tab

Note

The applicant form template is set up to populate the Education tab questions based on state, schools, degrees, test codes, and test element information in your J1 database and on the options the applicant selects. When the applicant selects a previous education state, the schools in that state are available in the following question.

You'll need to verify or update the data sources for the following questions:

  • State

  • Schools

  • Degrees

  • Test Codes

  • Test Elements

  1. Select Data Sources from the Tools menu.

  2. From the DataSource drop-down, select:

    1. JZB - State List

    2. JZB - School List by State

    3. JZB - Degree List

    4. JZB - Test Code List

    5. JZB - Test Element List By Test Code

    Tip

    Make a copy of the provided JZB - * datasources as they may be updated and overwritten in a future release.

  3. From the Use Database drop-down, verify the correct database is being used.

    Note

    The template automatically uses the J1 database.

  4. Review the DataSource query to ensure it is the correct table your school uses to manage schools, degrees, test codes, and test elements. If your school uses different tables, update the queries as needed.

    1. The state list is populated using the TD_STATE_VIEW table.

    2. The school list by state list is populated using the ORG table.

    3. The degree list is populated using the TD_DEGREE_VIEW table.

    4. The test code list is populated using the TEST_DEFINITION table.

    5. The test element list by test code is populated using the TEST_ELEMENT_DEF table.

  5. Test or save your data source.

  6. Click Done.

    Note

    The data source is set up on the question properties, Options tab. If a particular option isn't appearing, verify it exists in the J1 database.
