3. You can run this process by searching for an existing Run Control ID or you can add a new value. Creating a Run Control ID that is relevant to the process may help you remember it for future use.

    

   Click the Add a New Value tab.

   Step 3

4. A Run Control ID is an identifier that, when paired with your User ID, uniquely identifies the process you are running. The Run Control ID defines parameters that are used when a process is run. This ensures that when a process runs in the background, the system does not prompt you for additional values.

    

   Enter the desired information into the Run Control ID field. Enter

    "ARG1"

    Step 27

28. Select the Generate Class Mtg Attendance check box to have the system generate or regenerate attendance rosters only for classes in which you select the check box on the Schedule of Classes - Basic Data page. The system selects this check box by default.

     

    If you clear this check box, the system generates attendance rosters for all scheduled classes matching your processing criteria, regardless of how the  check box is set on the Schedule of Classes - Basic Data page.

    Step 28

29. When you run the Attendance Roster Generator process, you can update all rosters within your parameters or update only those that have had meeting pattern changes since the original rosters were generated.

     

    To update changed rosters, select the Sync Attendance with Class Mtg check box. To update all rosters (even if a roster has had no changes), clear the check box.

    Step 29

30. Use the Attendance Create/Update Flag field to specify the type of roster to generate for this sequence number. The system populates this field with the value specified on the Attendance Roster Generator page, but you may change it on a row-by-row basis.

    Step 30

31. Click the OK button.

    Step 31

32. At this point, you would continue to run the Batch Attendance Roster process just as you would any other PeopleSoft Enterprise Process Scheduler process.

     

    Refer to the Running Reports module for examples of running a process.

    Step 32

You have successfully generated attendance rosters in batch.
