udirect.properties

The national encoding scheme used by the university

\ - Indicates a blank value is to be used

Identifies the code used to recognize your institution nationwide

\ - Indicates a blank value is to be used

An internal code to identify a part of your internal organization

\ - Indicates a blank value is to be used

Default is Hour

Configurable text to identify course hours. Examples: Unit, Credit.

Default is 2. A year term value can be up to 6 characters (200901). You may want to display terms in u.direct, but your encoding is not set up to have terms.

0 - Allows users to specify use of the first 4 characters of the year term from u.direct when submitting audits

1 - Use only the first 5 characters of year term value from u.direct when submitting audits

2 - Use the full year and term value from u.direct when submitting audit requests

Default is DARwin. Tells u.direct what back end degree audit system implementation code to load at start-up for requesting and receiving audits. Each setting has its own additional configuration files specific to its implementation.

darwin - DARwin 3.5.x implementation

uachieve - u.achieve 4.0.x implementation

Configuration options currently available for daversion=uachieve ONLY

peoplesoft - PeopleSoft 8.9.x implementation

formWhatIfAuditSelection

Number of characters representing a course's department

3 - given "ENG1001", "ENG" represents the department length with the correct value of 3

Number of characters representing a course's length

4 - given "ENG1001", "1001" represents the course length with the correct value of 4

Should the department be shown? true or false

Should the course number be shown? true or false

Should the hours be shown? true or false

Should the course's description be shown? true or false

Should the course's availability be shown? true or false

courseCatalog.showPreCoReqDisplay

When defined, will be the label for the data populated in the associated column (DCP_CAT_CRS.COLUMN_1 (1-4), displayed on the course description window. If no value is set, column will not show.

Specify the character you use to indicate, any character applies to the course name. For example, if any MTH course can be taken, it would be indicated as MTH**, in which case the '' is the wildcard character. If no value is specified, it defaults to '*'.

The default number of hours to use for a course from an audit when no hours value is present - 3, for example

The default Grade to assign to a planned course, to be submitted with audit request, if left unchanged

Determines the column that is used to get the degree program's name from. For DARwin/u.achieve implementation, should be one of webtitle, dptitle1, or dptitle2

Indicates what to use for the name of the requirement

For DARwin/u.achieve implementation, the audit representation in the roadmap builder, by default, has used the 'rname' for the requirements. At some schools, this value is very verbose and not suitable to fit in the u.direct tree structure. If you want to use a web title, then set a label for the requirement because if not found it will use RNAME. For u.achieve schools, use the same requirement title used in the output of the audit.

rname

label

reqtitle - For DARwin schools, it will parse the requirement text from darout to display. For u.achieve schools, it will use what is in the JOB_QUEUE_REQ_TEXT table to display. If no text is found for the requirement, it will default to the RNAME.

Indicates what to use for the name of the sub-requirement

Similar to the requirement name, this is an alternate name to use for the sub-requirement text. For DARwin/u.achieve implementation, the one difference with this property is that it will check to ensure the name is not blank. If the label comes back as blank or 0 characters, then it will revert back to using the DARout text (DARwin) or JOB_QUEUE_SUBREQ_TEXT (u.achieve). If there is no text found, it will default to 'Subrequirement'

darout - Will parse the sub-requirement text from darout, to display for DARwin users. For u.achieve users, will display the text from JOB_QUEUE_SUBREQ_TEXT table.

label - Will use the label column that was set in job_queue_subreq

Default number of academic terms per year to use when creating a blank roadmap

2

Student number for DARS to use when running all audits (should be a "fake" student)

1

Default is: antisamy-slashdot-1.4.4.xml

Policy to control input validation for the comments text field. See AntiSamy documentation for more details.

Future Year and term code you want u.direct to check availability of courses for on the plan. Looks at current term up to this max year term setting. Example: 201510. Setting this to 201510 checks all terms on the plan from current term up to 201510 to see if the courses are available in the terms they are planned for. Setting to 000000 will disable the checking of course availability. See Plan Builder for functional details.

URL to online help documentation. Default is uAchieve Planner Guide.

The URL pattern for the online application installation used to view audits. For DARwinIA, the pattern should replace the job sequence number with $1 and the job id with $2. For u.achieve Self-Service, the pattern should replace the job sequence number with $1, jobid with $2, (optional) username with $3, (optional) password with $4, and stuno with $5. URL would look similar to: http://server.name:8080/selfserviceW...id=$2&stuno=$5

See the following for more specific details on configuring to directly link out to a u.achieve Self-Service audit: Linking Directly to an Audit

http://www.onlinephd.edu/darwinia/
bar?jobQSeqNo=$1&job_id=$2

The URL pattern for the CollegeSource Security installation

Since the security application is now included as a separate web deployment, u.direct will need to know what the URL is to the security app so that menu links will work properly. State the whole URL starting with the 'http'. Possible Value: full URL of the security app. Example: http://www.somehost.com/security

NOTE: This URL should NOT be configured if using the Dashboard application.

Set this property if your institution wishes to link to an external printable plan, other than the provided PDF, using {0} to represent the plan id. Leaving this parameter blank will tell u.direct to generate the default PDF.

Example: http://www.myschool.edu/plans?planId={0}

Set this property if your institution has course lists defined on the web. Using this link and the course list name value, set as <courseListName> in configured URL, udirect will build a link to display a list of courses to be manually added to the plan. Leaving this parameter blank will just allow a course to be flagged as a courseList by being represented with a courseList icon and will have no functionality behind it.

Example: http://www.myschool.edu/documents_and_policies/bulletin/courses/index.html#<courseListName>

The URL pattern for the CollegeSource Schedule Builder installation, making sure to include /sec/rwremotelogin to the URL definition

The URL pattern for the CollegeSource u.achieve Self-Service installation

u.direct will need to know what the URL is to the u.achieve web application so that menu links will work properly. State the whole URL starting with the 'http'. Possible Value: full URL of the u.achieve web application. Example: http://www.somehost.com/selfservice

The URL pattern for the CollegeSource Dashboard installation

u.direct will need to know what the URL is to the Dashboard application so that menu links will work properly. State the whole URL starting with the 'http'. Possible Value: full URL of the Dashboard application. Example: http://www.somehost.com/dashboard

NOTE: This application replaces the need for the CollegeSource Security application. Do not configure this URL if using the CollegeSource Security application (the Dashboard)
