Description
Type A1  It is a unique set of system- and user-defined codes by which to identify types of activities offered by the institution.  These types are used to group activity codes together in option {SDSREC-3} of this menu.  A set of system-defined activities already exists and cannot be removed by the user. These activities are marked with  an “S” in the indicator field. The system-defined activity types include:

A Agents
C Class
E Examinations
M Mentor
P Promotions
T Tutor
G Travelling
     
The user-defined activity types will automatically be marked with “U” in the indicator field when the institution creates its own types.  If a user-defined type is linked to students via the activity linked to them, this type cannot be deleted.
Description  A30 The descriptions for the system-defined codes are displayed and cannot be updated.  For the user-defined activities, the description for the type needs to be entered and updated.
Indicator A2 Valid values for this field are “S” for system-defined, and “U” for user-defined activities.  Only records linked to the “U” can be updated or removed when not linked to an activity to which students are linked.
Address Type A2 The address type will specify the address that should be used to link the service centres/activities to students.  The valid values for the field will be determined by the codes created in option {GCS-24} for address types for the student system.  The list of value function <LIST> will display the valid codes for this field.
