Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2023 |
November 1, 2022 |
Many fields in the Applicant Portal contain predefined answer values that applicants can select; for example, the Country and County fields both have predefined answer values. These values are housed in shared "lookup tables" which are viewable in your CAS's/UniCAS's data dictionary (located under the Help panel in WebAdMIT). Lookup table change requests should be sent to your Account Manager, who will compile and review these requests prior to inclusion in the next lookup table update taking place this fall. The deadline to submit change requests is November 1, 2022. New lookup table values will appear in the Applicant Portal on March 6, 2023 (subject to change). You can view the upcoming lookup value changes on the Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2023 page. |
