NSC Student Phone Type Definitions

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.

Use this page to manage National Clearinghouse (NSC) student phone types. The types are provided as default data. You can't delete them or create new ones, but you can make them active or inactive. (An inactive definition is still available in drop-downs, but it's marked as inactive.)

These are the types:

  • H: Home Phone

  • C: Cell Phone

  • O: Other Phone

  • W: Work Phone

Desktop Location

You can manage the definitions in Desktop, too, on the NSC Student Phone Type Definition window. Changes you make in Desktop apply to J1 Web, and vice versa.

Database Location

The definitions are stored on the NSLC Student Phone Type Definition table (nslc_stud_phone_type_def).

The definitions are available in NSC reporting processes (coming soon to J1 Web). In Desktop, they're on the NSC Transmittal Detail Records window and the NSC Transmittal History Records window.

  • Code: Appears with Description in drop-downs. Provided by default. Not editable.

  • Description: Appears with Code in drop-downs. Provided by default. Not editable.

  • Associated Address Code: Selected from the list of address codes (Address Master table) such as on a student's Person Details page or their Desktop Student Information window. Not required.
