Seat Assignment Attributes associate a Member (or rather, a Workflow Instance owned by a Member) to a specific Activity Offering. Conceptually, an Offering indicates that a given Activity Definition is "offered" on a specific date/time, at a specific location, and has a specific number of "seats" that are available. Seat Assignment attributes represent that one or more of those "seats" was assigned to a specific person. |
Regardless of the user interface selection, this attribute collects:
When configured to use the Search Popup interface, these additional settings are configured:
When configured to use the Cascading Drop Downs interface, these additional settings are configured:
As of 10.3.0, a Seat Assignment attribute can display one of two different user interfaces:
When the list of available Offerings will be large, the Search Popup interface provides a superior user experience by allowing the user to search and filter the set of options.
When the list of available Offerings is small, and the user does not need much information to make a decision, then a list of cascading dropdowns offers a very simple user experience. Once an Offering is selected, if the user has the ability to manage the status, they also see a form for updating the seat number, status, etc.
If an "Offering Type" is specified in the configuration, only Offerings with a type containing the entered string are selectable.
This supports complex use cases in which an Exam Administration consists of multiple "parts", such as a computer-based test AND a practical test. There would be a Seat Assignment for each "part", and each would be filtered so that only the relevant offerings are selectable for that seat assignment.
In display mode, displays a readonly summary of the seat assignment.
This attribute stores the id of a row in the SEAT_ASSIGNMENT table which tracks the linked Offering, the used capacity, etc.
Although configuration is possible, Seat Assignments are NOT SUPPORTED for activity instances not associated with a Learning Plan Instance (e.g. Complaints).
