PS Site Type: Create a Site Type Value

Create a Site Type Value

Process Overview

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

Site Type values are key elements used when creating Organisations and Sites. Site Types enable the configuration of Placement Blocks to allow students to submit Pre-Offer Preferences for the type of Site they wish to be placed, and are also used for reporting purposes.

Warning: Prior to creating a new Site Type value, you must first perform a thorough search of the existing Site Type values to ensure the required value does not already exist (this prevents duplicate values). Only create a new Site Type value if you fail to find an existing value for the Site Type.
