The ISIR Verification Document Requirements section of the Administrators menu houses the rule engine that reads the student ISIR or parameters set by the institution to trigger a document requirement for verification, comment codes, and Professional Judgment.

    • When reviewing C-Codes to associate with a requirement, you have the option to select the Trigger on ISIR Import for a selected comment code. Doing so enables the document to trigger in the student RDL upon successful ISIR import with a matching student import. This provides automation in C-Codes/C-Flags that need attention.

    • A C-Code can also be marked for Initial Review (IR). By selecting this check box you are initiating a review of the document requirement added to the student RDL. This document requirement will require a staff user to review prior to student action. This check box is commonly used for C-Flags that the school would review and determine if the requirement can be satisfied internally or if student action is needed.

Users with appropriate permissions may also remove (remove icon (X)) associated C-codes from the requirement.

Copy a Rule

The Copy Rule functionality allows schools to copy a rule associated with a different document to then be saved and/or edited with a new associated document.  This prevents schools from creating each rule from scratch and can save time with rules administrations.  Some examples of when this feature may be used are described below.

Example 1: A client has rules set up for Employer Tuition Assistance Documentation. The user would like to trigger another document with the same rule. For instance, Pay Stub. When the client creates an Associated Rule for Passport, they should be able to search for and select the Birth Certificate associated rule and have it copied over to Passport. From there, they may save the copied rule as is, or choose to edit it.

Example 2: Anthology Inc. has an out of the box rule, but the client handles it a little differently. They would like to just slightly change the EP rule to fit their needs without having to build their own rule from scratch. They should be able to add an associated rule and copy over EP's existing document rule.

The Copy Rule option is found in the Associated Rules section of the Required Document Details page.

  1. Select Copy Rule.

  2. In the Copy Rule(s) modal, select a Required Document.

    Note: Only required documents that have rules defined are shown.

    Copy Rule

  3. When a required document is chosen, the corresponding rule(s) which have rule conditions defined are shown (rules without rule conditions are not shown). Select the All/None check box for the rules to be copied.

    Rule Description

  4. The selected rule(s) will be displayed under Associated Rules.  From here, the rule can be edited and/or activated.

    Rule selected

  5. To edit the rule, select the Description text.  You can add or edit conditions.  Once completed, select Save.

  6. To activate the rule, select the Assign icon under Activate.  Then confirm activation.
