Configuring the Student Tracker Package for Student Trackings
Configuring the Student Tracker Package for Student Trackings
The Student Tracker package includes a custom Student Trackings object that allows you to select up to 10 fields on the Contact (Student) object on which to track changes. It was designed to track changes in student status for historical reporting purposes but can be used on any Contact fields. Once changes are tracked, a Task line item is created in the Student Trackings related list viewable on the Contact.
Defining Student Tracking Mappings
Each field to be tracked is set up as a Student Tracking Mapping. To configure the mappings:
- From the App picker, search for StudentTrackingMaps.
- Add a record for each desired Student/Contact field to track - where:
- DestinationFieldName is F1__c through F20__c
- SourceSObjectName = Contact
- SourceFieldName is the Contact API/Field Name
- Track Changes = If Checked, a change in this field will cause a tracking record to be created.
Notes:
- DestinationFieldName must be uppercase F, or the Student Tracker records will not be created properly.
- API Field Names can be found by navigating to Setup, selecting Object Manager, and clicking Contacts, then Fields.
- Student Tracking records will always show all tracked fields, regardless of which field change on the Contact record triggered the code.
- Use the Contacts with Student Trackings report Type to report on this date.
