Add a Degree
After adding an education type, you will need to add one or more kinds of degrees for that type. The degree will be selected when entering the educational history for a person into the system. Examples of degrees include: diploma for high school; Bachelor's degree for college; and Master's degree or PhD for university.
1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Database under Configure System.
2. In the "Employee Lists" section, select Degree.
3. From the menu either select the education type for the degree and click the Update button to add a new degree or select the name of the degree to edit.
4. Enter a Name for the degree.
5. Select the Education Type for the degree, if it has not already been selected.
6. Click Confirm and confirm that the degree entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.
Troubleshooting
An error message appears after clicking Confirm.
Make sure that the name of the degree has been entered and an educational type has been selected -- these fields are required. The required fields will be outlined in red. Also make certain that the degree has not already been entered for that education type; duplicates are not allowed. Complete the missing or incorrect fields and try saving again. If you do not want to add the degree after all, click Return (do not save changes).
The matching education type does not appear in the list.
Click Add New underneath the "Education Type" menu to add a new education type. Then click Administer Database and follow the steps above to add the new degree. You will have to re-enter any information you previously entered for the degree.
