Campus Solution Foundation Setup

Academic Institutions
The academic institution is defined as the highest level of the university or college and is treated as a separate entity.


• Single institution structure.
• Multi-institution structure.


Each separate institution would have these characteristics:
• Separate course catalogs and class schedules.
• Completely independent statistics and transcripts.

Record Groups
The PeopleSoft system uses record groups to compartmentalize relevant shared data into functional clusters.

Facility Table
When you want to define rooms and its attribute

Tablesets
Tableset IDs enable you to share data that would normally be limited to a lower-level academic institution or business unit.

TableSet Sharing
TableSet sharing is unique to PeopleSoft applications. It enables you to share control table information among business units, which minimizes the need for redundant data entry.
Control tables enable you to use tableset IDs, which make tableset sharing across business units possible. The tableset ID indicates which rows of a control table a particular business unit can access. Each row in the control table has a tableset ID associated with it, and record groups associate business units with tableset IDs.

Campuses
You associate a campus or multiple campuses with academic institutions. It used for:
• Class schedules.
• Financial aid.

Locations
Work locations are defined in the PeopleSoft HRMS system, but are also used by PeopleSoft Campus Solutions as general campus locations. 


Establishments
To add locations in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions application, you will need to create at least one establishment value.
