Update Claimable Time for Course Placements

Process Overview

Only Placement Administrators have access to enter, update, or correct Course Placement information.  If you are not a Placement Administrator, send an email request to your Placement Administrator.

If Claimable Time details for a Course Placement need to be updated due to a recent or future change, insert a new effective dated row to update the Claimable Time details for the Course Placements.

Note:    Updates to the Course Placement configuration will occur on the entered Effective Date.  If the Effective Date is a future date, updates to the Course Placement configuration will not apply in Student Placements in Medici until that date (ie. any Claimable Time Details added will not apply to Course Placements prior to the Effective Date, and any Claimable Time Details that are deleted will not be deleted from the Course Placement configuration until the entered Effective Date).

If the Claimable Time details need to be corrected rather than updated (ie. incorrect Claimable Time details were entered when the Course Placement information was configured), the Claimable Time details should be updated in ‘Correction’ mode.

Step by Step Instructions

Note:    The following instructions assume Placement information has previously been configured for the selected Course, and the Claimable Time Details for the Course need to be entered or updated.  If Placement information for the Course has not been configured, please refer to the process instructions on the ‘Creating Course Placement Configuration’ process page.

Question

Yes

No

Does Claimable Time need to be added to the Course Placements?

Go to step 3.

Go to question 2.

Explanation:

If Claimable Time needs to be added to the Course Placements, the additional Claimable Time information must be recorded (step 3).

If Claimable Time does not need to be added to the Course Placements, the next step is to determine if existing Claimable Time details need to be deleted (question 2).

 

Step 3:    Record the Claimable Time details for the Course Placements

Application:   Medici

Navigation:    The Course Placements page will already be displayed as a result of performing step 2

Claimable Time

Warning:  Claimable Time must be entered in the same format used to record the Required Contact Time (ie. if contact time is recorded in ‘days’ not ‘hours’, then claimable time must also be recorded in ‘days’ and not ‘hours’).

Warning:  The total Claimable Time for a given Contact Type cannot exceed the Required Contact Time (eg. if the contact time is 25 days, a Site Mentor could claim up to 25 days and a Site Coordinator could also claim up to 25 days, however two Site Mentors can not claim more than a total of 25 days between them).

If there is an existing row of Claimable Time:

A In the Claimable Time section, select the Add a New Row button (+).  There is no need to insert a new row if there are no existing Claimable Time details.

B Populate the new row in the Claimable Time section as follows:

           Contact Type:         Select the [Contact Type that may claim time for supervising a student on Placement for the selected Course].

           Claimable Number:  Type the [number of hours or days that may be claimed by the Contact].

           Time Period:            Select the [same value as the Time Period field in the Required Placement Contact Hours/Days section].

Note:  If the Contact Type does not yet exist in Medici, email your Placement Administrator to request the Contact Type value be created (if you are a Placement Administrator, create the Contact Type value).  Once the Contact Type value has been created, follow these instructions to record the Claimable Time details for the Course Placements.

Continue to repeat this step until all Claimable Time details have been recorded for all required Contact Types.
