Faculty Accomplishment Administrators can modify events in Career Pathways by editing, duplicating, or archiving them. Edits update all associated paths cumulatively but only affect newly assigned paths. Duplicating creates tailored versions without altering originals. Archiving prevents new use but retains events in existing paths, ensuring career paths and faculty timelines stay accurate and aligned with institutional goals.
As a Faculty Accomplishment Administrator, you can modify existing events to meet evolving needs. This guide covers how to edit, duplicate, and archive events within Career Pathways, as well as the effects these changes have on current and future career pathways. For information on creating new events see, Creating Base Events for Career Pathways and Creating Result & Exception Events in Career Pathways.
Steps to Modify an Event
-
Access Manage Events
- Select "Career Pathways" from the Navigation Bar. If you're aligned to a career path, click "Configuration."
- Click "Manage Events" in the Career Paths tab
-
Open Action Menu for an Event
- Locate the event you want to modify
- Click the circle icon with three vertical dots to open the action menu, containing:
- Edit
- Duplicate
- Delete/Archive
Types of Modifications
Editing an Event
To ensure that your faculty career paths stay up-to-date, a version control system for Events has been implemented. This means that you can make edits to an Event, such as modifying deadlines or adding new requirements, and those changes will be automatically reflected in all associated career paths and faculty timelines.
It's important to note that updates to an Event are cumulative. When you make a change, any previous modifications will also be applied. This ensures that all connected career paths and faculty timelines remain accurate and up-to-date with the latest information.
Note: Changes to an event will apply to a path when assigned for the first time to faculty through Assigning a Career Path using Manage Faculty. Functionality to allow the change to impact faculty currently assigned to the career path is planned.
Duplicating an Event
Duplicate an event if its suitable for a faculty career path but requires modifications specific to a new path. This avoids altering the original event, ensuring the integrity of the event while creating a new, tailored version of it.
Archiving an Event
To maintain the integrity of existing career paths, Events cannot be deleted once assigned. However, you can archive a Base Event to prevent it from being used in new or added to existing career paths. Archived Base, Results, and Exceptions Events will continue to exist on career paths where they've already been assigned.
These modifications will help you manage and update events within Career pathways, keeping all career paths and faculty timelines accurate and aligned with institutional goals.
