Process Overview

Placement Administrators and Placement Officers are able to create and update Placement Initiative records, and Placement Administrators are able to correct Placement Initiative records (when required).

Warning:  Prior to creating a new Placement Initiative record, you must first perform a thorough search of the existing Initiative records to ensure the required Initiative does not already exist in Medici.  Only create a new Placement Initiative record if you fail to find an existing Placement Initiative.

A Placement Initiative is a project or other form of collaborative placement activity involving more than one student.  The Placement Initiative identifier can be used to link multiple students associated with the collaborative activity for reporting purposes.

A Placement Initiative may span one or many Placement Blocks, and one or many Programs and/or Courses.

A Placement Initiative is unique to an Organisation.
