  7. Checking • What is the checking procedure? • Each School has nominated some named ‘data checkers’. • Checkers examine the catalogue on the T4 Staging Server. • Changes are made via PIP and must be approved. • Changes, once approved, are immediately visible in the preview. • Once updates are complete, one person checks a box in PIP to say the School is ready for publication.

  13. Data Updates • How to update course information • There are two ways to make changes to course information in PIP: • An Amend Courses Proposal – this is the most common way to update info or • A Bulk Update Proposal – used for exactly the same change to several courses

  14. Data Updates • Individual Course Data Updates • All mandatory fields in the document must be completed when submitting a change. • A Short Description is be required for each course. This should be short! • Make sure your courses are correctly marked as ‘Available to Visiting’ students or not. • Use Requirements of Entry to indicate enrolment restrictions. • If the course is not always available, use the Timetable field to explain.
