[Building Sakai] Enrollment Status issue

[Lydia Li]

Hi David,

Are you talking about having a convention for the enrollment status 
description (the text that shows up in the pulldown in Roster tool)? I 
think that's specific to each institution. I'm not sure what you would 
define in the API.

For example, at Stanford, we added a 'Dropped' status and instructors 
can view all Dropped students in the Roster tool. The mapping between 
the enrollment status in CM and the pulldown display can be defined by 
each institution. If you use the 
CourseManagementServiceHibernateImpl.java you can define those in the 
getEnrollmentStatusDescription() method. It would be nicer if the 
mapping is stored in a DB table so we don't need to make code changes if 
we add a new status. Once you defined the mappings there, all sakai 
tools would be able to use the same value.

thanks,
Lydia
