Assumptions

  • Each assumption should be pertinent to the article

  • Do not list assumptions that are common to all articles such as “user with an account within Paradigm”

In addition to the parameters in the screen shot above, the report is also driven by absence Id, which is along with the course enrolment id uniquely identifies each leave record.



Please note, the information contained in the report/under the course enrolment absence screen does not live in the course enrolment table, instead it lives in its own table called program enrolment absence.

The reason for this is so one course enrolment could have more than one leave record, also the table enables user to put in much more detailed information about the leave.
