The OLR Status tool is used to create the status types that are used when processing student applications. This editor works like the Campus Attendance tools where multiple absent codes can be created with different excuse types. You can create as many application statuses as you need.

Before You Begin

Create the approval/denial letters in the Letter Designer tool BEFORE creating these statuses.

OLR letters are stored in the OLR Administrator Group and can be moved as needed. 

When creating OLR letters keep the following requirements in mind.

  • Letters must begin with OLR in the Name field so they can be selected as a message in the OLR Status Editor.
  • OLR letters must have a Short Description or the letter cannot be sent.Screenshot of the Letter Designer where the Short Description field is highlighted.
  • You can set up translated letters in the Letter Designer. For example, when a parent selects Spanish for their application language, they will receive the translated letter in their selected language. To use this feature, you must also map OLR languages to Campus languages in the Multi-Language Editor > Language Groups tool.

OLR Status Editor Field Descriptions

 
FieldDescription
ValueThe status being created. This value could also include why such a status was assigned, e.g., Denied/Address Verification or Approved/Posted. Create one value for each type of letter that can be sent.
SequenceThe order in which the value sorts. Sequences are used for sorting only, not for display.
TypeThe assigned status - either Denied, Approved or marked as Hold.
PostWhen the status is Approved, the Post checkbox can be marked, indicating the application is posted and approved for acceptance.
Unsubmit

Mark this checkbox to unsubmit an application when a status is selected in Staff Processing. For example, a parent submits the application but forgets to or does not upload a birth certificate. The staff can select to hold the application and it is marked as Unsubmit, allowing the parent to include the birth certificate in the application.

Default Message

This is the name of the letter created in the Letter Designer that is sent when the status is assigned to the application.  If the status is for an internal reference, a letter does not need to be sent to the parent. 

You can choose which letter is sent for each status change. If the status does not have a corresponding letter, a parent is not notified when the status changes. This method is useful for internal statuses between departments when it is not necessary for a parent to be notified.
