Status Items are the statuses displayed in a drop-down status menus menu you see in Paradigm User Interface (e.g. Enrolment and Student Record Statuses). These are categorised into types that reflect the full set of possible states a status field has been defined and assigned. This knowledge article will provide a detailed workflow on how you can search, add, edit, and hide Status Items in Paradigm.

BE ADVISED:

The removal of a status item is not permitted. Instead, we recommend marking the status item as hidden. This action does not impact already existing records that have already been assigned the value of the status item, but it makes it unavailable to choose that status item option.

Brief Overview

Sample Data

Status Id

NOTE:

This value should have no spaces and be fewer than 20 characters in length.

The unique code that is used in the back-end of the system for the response

ENROLMENT_APPLIED

Status Type Id

Each status item is assigned a type ID that is used to group status items that should appear in the same drop-down menu within the user interface.

ENROLMENT_STATUS

Code

NOTE:

We recommend making the Code field the same as the value of the Status Id field.

This is the value that will be saved in the database.

ENROLMENT_APPLIED

Sequence Id

This is the order that the items will appear in the drop box once added to the system. The number allocated to each option needs to be 2 or 3 digits to ensure that the options appear in the required order.

Description

Info

INFO:

The description is designed to be for the end-user and should be more "user-friendly”, descriptions that users could easily relate depending on the type of statuses you wanted them to choose.

This is the value that will be seen by users in the drop-down menu displayed on the user interface.

Applied

Visible

This setting determines whether an option is available or absent from the drop box. Hiding an option doesn't remove or re-code it from historical records in the system(for these records it will still be visible), it will just remove it from being used in the future.

Statuses in Paradigm (HEIMS and TCSI Values)

Table of default sample status item values for student, course enrolment, and unit enrolment in Paradigm

Info

INFO:

The Status Items listed below may differ from the items you have in your institution depending on how Paradigm has been historically configured to meet the requirements of your institution.

Note

BE ADVISED:

The Unit Enrolment and the Course Enrolment share the same list of possible status codes (status type of “ENROLMENT_STATUS”). This is an intentional system design decision on the basis that any status that is appropriate to be assigned to the course status is also appropriate for the unit, as one is a subset of the other.

NOTE:

With the scope of the TCSI solution, there are two status fields (HEIMS Unit of Study Status Identifier and HEIMS Course Outcome Identifier) that are required to be reported. Rather than creating new fields for these elements, we linked them to our status item table as below. Click here to find out more: Preparing Paradigm for TCSI reporting.

The table below outlines the default set of status items that are included in a default installation of Paradigm together with the recommended use case for each option. From time to time the need may arise to add additional status items to the system. Providers retain the option of adding to this list, in addition to editing or marking options as hidden.

When adding new status options we recommend that a provider add only the a minimal amount of new options to avoid creating ambiguity in the intended use case of a specific status item among users.

Implications

Info

INFO:

Status items are categorised into types that reflect the full set of possible states that a specific field may be assigned. For example, there is a defined set of possible states that may be assigned in the enrolment status field of a student course enrolment.

The key status codes used across the main system include: Person, Course, Unit, Course and Unit Enrolments Statuses.

Note

BE ADVISED:

Providers may add and retire status item options as necessary to meet their internal naming conventions or business requirements. However, some status items have special significance in the system and we recommend seeking advice before making changes to those status items.

To map an equivalent TCSI value in Paradigm to TCSI, take note of the following:

If the status item that you are editing is only used as a Course Enrolment Status (E599), only edit the HEIMS Course Outcome Identifier field

Since the Completed status item has been chosen to be edited and is under the Element 355 - Unit of study status code(which will return a value of 3 as Successfully completed all the requirements) and Element 599 - Course outcome code(which will return a value of 1 as Completed), the fields that should be edited are the both used in Paradigm’s Unit and Course Enrolment statuses, the following fields are mapped:
