The types can be grouped using categories. A category can be used to offer different types in different situations.
The above category definition offers a distinction in study types between the regular studies and the studies offered as part of professional education.

Define the category, use the condition to set the 'range' for the defined types

The category configuration supports different options:

  • External ID - The external ID of the study type, used for integration with external system(s)
  • Code - The internal code, used for display purposes in Curriculum
  • Name - The name of the study type, used for display purposes
  • Start date - Date the study type will be available (used to define a new type in the future)
  • End date - Date the study type will no longer be available for selection (soft delete)
  • Condition - Define a condition to specify where the defined types in this category will be offered
  • Sequence - The sequence number is used to sort the display for the users
