We have created an awards report to help you manage your awards. This report is a page (admin/reports/program/award) and a weekly email summary. This report tries to provide several tools to help you understand the state of all the awards on your site.
Identifying Awards for Publication or Deletion
Your college needs to identify someone to manage awards on your website. This involves reviewing a weekly email report of awards that may need to be published or deleted, and then logging into the website to actually publish or delete awards as needed. Someone trained to do this, can generally complete this task in 5-10 minutes each week, with changes a dozen or so times a year. College web staff can do this themselves or get a subject matter expert at their college to do this. A specialized Curricular role is available for this purpose. If your college does not assign someone this responsibility, then you will likely have out-dated award information on your website.
There are 3 main section to the report. At the top there is a current count of awards on your site and a time the last time the warehouse import awards.
