Description

Code

Unique identifier for the activity.

Description

Description for the activity.

MailRequest-Flag

Indicates whether or not:

  • mailed information is required
  • a letter is being sent using the mail merge feature of Microsoft Word.

You can use a database query or a stored procedure to list all the people who have this flag set. For example, this can be used in mail merges with Microsoft Word. The crspFutureActivityPrint stored procedure has the advantage that, in addition to retrieving key activity data, it also updates fields to indicate when the letter was printed. See Using stored procedures to retrieve Synergetic data in the Extracting data manual.

In the following example, the MailRequestFlag is selected for the Request accommodation lookup entry.

When creating a new activity, the Mail Request flag is already selected when Request accommodation is selected from the drop-down list.

ReportCode

File name of the Crystal Report to run when the button is clicked on the Activity tab. See:

The report uses the following parameters:

  • StudentID
  • ActivityCode
  • MailedBy
  • MailedDate.

For an additional parameter that is available, see the ReportPromptContactTypeFlag field.

Crystal reports prompts for any parameters that are not specified.

Contact Synergetic Management Systems to set up a report for this purpose.

Alternatively, consider using the crspFutureActivityPrint stored procedure. See the MailRequestFlag field.

ActiveFlag

Activity is active when this field is selected. Clear the field to set the activity to inactive.

ReportPromptContactTypeFlag
