In order to have this rule apply to Transfer applicants only, a filter of Round Key IN TR would be needed, assuming that a Transfer Round with a key of TR existed in a partner's instance.

Outcome

This rule above adds a school-specific checklist item in the format Transcript <School Name> for every applicant in the TR application round who provides a school with a level of study of undergraduate. This Transcript <School Name> checklist item is generated for each school with a level undergraduate.

For example, if an applicant in the "TR" application round listed two schools as undergraduate (for example, Slate University and School of Rock), the following checklist items would be generated:

  • Transcript (Slate University)

  • Transcript (School of Rock)

Transcripts from Graduate Applicants (Shared Slate database)

This option is for clients with a shared database (for example, graduate and undergraduate).

In this example, undergraduate applications do not require school-specific transcripts, but graduate applicants (Round Key: GR) are required to provide school-specific transcripts for every school listed on their application.

  1. Select Database from the main navigation.

  2. Select Rules.

  3. Select New Rule.

By filtering on the graduate round key (GR), the school-scoped material Transcript would be added for every school (no restrictions) added to applicants in the graduate round.

No school-scoped checklist item rule is required for undergraduate applicants, since transcripts are not required of them in this instance.
