A Catalog is a collection of course information and descriptions. This collection is used to store default values for the generation of Section Master table records. The Catalog Master table serves as the basis for all course activities. Before creating the Catalog Master table, you must set up the definition tables that affect the course data entry. Once you have set up the definition tables, you can create the Catalog Master table. Unless your catalog data has been electronically converted from a previous system, you will need to enter the Catalog Master rows one by one. Since these rows provide default information for the Section Master table and the Student Course History table, it is important that you accurately enter the catalog information as you begin to set up Registration.
Catalog information can be entered or altered at any time. However, be aware that if you change catalog information after the sections have been created, J1 Desktop will not automatically apply these changes to the Section Master table.

If you create sections for a term and then discover that you misspelled a word in the course title, you must change the title in the Catalog Master table and in the Section Master table. Once you have changed a Catalog Master row, defaults for any new sections will reflect the change that has been made. |
