Clicking Campus Tools, Appointment Tools, Edit Appointment Types allows you to perform the following tasks:
Note that because the appointment type itself is a single text string, CNAV does not provide an option to edit an existing type. To change an existing type, you must first delete it then create a new type.
To add an appointment type, enter the following information:
Department: Select the appropriate department from the provided drop-down list. That drop-down list will contain the names of all departments for which you are authorized to create appointment types.
Add type: Enter the name of the appointment type you wish to create. You can use up to 20 characters. Be as descriptive as possible. Some sample types might include Advising Session, Internship Planning, or Career Counseling.
To clear the add type field and start over, click Reset.
To add the new appointment type, click Submit. CNAV will display a success message telling you that the new appointment type has been added. Click Back to return to the Appointment Types edit screen. Your new type will appear in the Current Types field.
Deleting an Existing Appointment Type
To delete an existing appointment type, highlight the name of the appointment type you wish to delete in the Current types area.
Click the Delete icon at the upper right of the Current types area. CNAV will ask you to confirm this deletion. Be aware that if you delete an appointment type that has already been used in an appointment, the type of that appointment will revert to "Unknown". CNAV will display a success message telling you that the appointment type has been deleted. Click Back to return to the Appointment Types edit screen.
Adding/Deleting Global Appointment Types
In addition to the appointment types specific to your department(s), CNAV also records a list of appointment types considered to be "global" to your institution. These types can be selected when scheduling an academic appointment for any department.
To add or remove a global appointment type, you must select Global as the Department name. Note that the ability to add and delete global appointment types is restricted to a small number of people designated as administrators in this area. If you are unable to access this function but feel that you required access in order to perform your job, please contact your CNAV system administrator.
