Until Wayne at Whittier College brought this up, it didn't dawn on me that the
Welcome Screen isn't visible to students or advisors when they login to
DegreeWorks. It's only visible to we REG users (Student Records,
primarily).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Maybe
when we get access to DegreeWorks set up through the Portal/Banner Self
Service, we can at least take the text that appears on the Welcome Screen and
place it on the first page users see when they click on a DegreeWorks tab and before
they click on something that gets them into DegreeWorks proper. I don't
know how this would work, so I’m not sure if it’s possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>But
I thought I'd mention it in case we can experiment with it in the Portal.
We don't need the photo on the right...but the text will be helpful.
Otherwise, we'll put it on our DegreeWorks Web site (whenever we get something basic
set up).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

students or Advisors log into DegreeWorks, the audit immediately shows for the
student, and the audit for the first student in the advisee list shows for the
advisor. We would like to put some directions and informational items on
the Welcome Screen and would like that screen to default in and not the first
audit. Below is the response we received from Sungard. They are saying
that your functionality can't be accomplished:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

order to get this to work they way you want it to you will have customize the
software. This is what the programmer I spoke to has told me. I see
the print screen from Georgia -- you may want to inquire what custom changes
were made to get it to work this way (unless they are actually signing on as a
REG user and have filled out the ID manually). If you are interested in
the same custom changes maybe they can share them with you, or maybe they have
figured out some undocumented way to get this to work the way it is. I
have played around with it here and can't come up with any. Let me know
if you find anything.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
