Mass Add Remove Delete Holds
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
The Mass Add Remove Delete Holds page lets you manage holds for multiple individuals simultaneously. You can select individuals individually or use a predefined data set.
Holds indicate a problem exists with a record in the system. They are typically associated with students for issues related to unresolved balances, unpaid fines, discipline, and academic standing.
Your school sets up hold categories and types to determine what impacts a hold has on records. For example, a student could be prohibited from registering for courses, enrolling in campus housing, receiving financial aid, graduating, etc.
Depending on how hold codes are configured, other system users may see a message notifying them about the hold or prohibiting them from taking certain actions.
Depending on how the code is defined in the definition table, the message is either a warning or hold. Holds also impact the display of information in the Campus Portal for students and advisors.
To manage holds, you must belong to a role with "Can mass add/remove/delete holds" permission enabled. Jenzabar provides this permission with the Processes role, but your school may have created a customized version of this role.
I want to be able to assign permissions to specific users or groups to be able to add or remove particular holds or categories. While this can be done in desktop, the Web version does not appear to work the same way. This feels problematic with the potential of persons adding or removing holds they should not have the rights to. While that is beyond the scope of the web help, the fact that the How To section is blank and the Related Topics section shows script/placeholder information leaves me unimpressed.
