ClassWeb Administration (for DBA and Registrar)
REGISTRAR
---------
Classweb 2.0 offers a fairly usable interface to all of the database functions
required of a Registrar, so this has greatly alleviated the workload for the
Database Administrator (DBA).
Tip: The "college" Registrar has the option of setting up "Class
Registrars" for any class that wishes to collect Pre-Enrollment requests on
the web from potential students. This feature is enabled in the "Prof
Assignment" function, by creating a second prof whose Profcode is
"Registrar". Within 30 minutes of the setting change, pre-enrollment is
activated for the class, and the Class Registrar will get email copies of
each request.
The Class Registrar mainly acts as a filter to define who ultimately is
allowed into class. They must pass the final information to the college
Registrar for Classweb roster entry. Each pre-enrollment message reminds the
Class Registrar of the location of the final tally file on the web, which
they may edit and send to the college Registrar.
Classes using "Sub-Terms" (shorter than the full term) are closed
automatically on the first day of class. Full-term classes must be closed
by the Registrar on term day 1.

The only relevant MySQL tables that need maintenance using phpMyAdmin are:
board_extras - only needs attention if a non-student/non-faculty needs access
to WWWboard
current - changed between the end of each term and the start of the next
current2 - more DB-accessible variation of above - same schedule as above
order_table - the order terms are presented in (extends into the future) &
uses same maint schedule as the previous two.
See the Database Tables link at classweb-docs/index.html for further detail.
You will want to select an existing Faculty member to be Registrar. A
Registrar is really a dependable WebTech from any department who focuses on
registrations.
You can use phpMyAdmin to manually add User-ID's to the "admin" group in the
REGcontacts table if desired. These are Classweb superusers who can go and
do almost anything via web.
