PAAW0100 - Maintain Proposal Configuration

Table of Contents

Description/Overview

This page allows the user to configure various features of the CAPS system.

Communication settings affect the processing of communication items for Proposals users - but some of these settings can be overridden for an individual user in SECW0066.

For more information regarding notifications see Proposals Communications.

Date Aliases which determine warning generation and deadlines for proposal processing, are also recorded on this page. The value for these date aliases for a particular proposal is determined relative to the calendar instance(s) selected for a proposal timeline in PAAW1040. In that page, an Academic Calendar instance is recorded for Course or Unit Set proposals, and an Academic Calendar instance and Teaching Calendar instance are recorded for a Unit or User Defined proposal.
The deadlines of a proposal may also be affected by settings for elements in PAAW0200, or by manual overrides in PAAW1140.

This page is reached directly from the Callista main menu.
