Institution Setup Data Elements
Below are the setup items to be used for each institution that you configure in the system.
General Tab
Field Name | Required/Optional | Type | Value | Business Rules |
---|---|---|---|---|
External Institution ID | Required | Text box - 8 characters maximum | Used in data exchange between the system and the school's student information system and other third-party systems | |
Name | Optional | Text box - 256 characters maximum | Used in Regent Award UI and in student communications | |
Display Name | Required | Text box - 500 characters max | n/a | Used in SNAP questionnaires and student portal in the drop-down menu |
Description | Optional | Text box - 60 characters maximum | n/a | Used in Regent Award UI and in student communications |
OPEID | Required | Text box - 8 characters maximum | n/a | At the institution level, the last two digits of the OPEID must be 00 |
Active | Optional | Checkbox |
| If unselected, the institution is inactivated and the system will not allow for the import of ISIRs, processing of awards, and disbursement of funds. |
Delay First Disbursement 30 days | Optional | Drop-down |
| This is required for schools with a high default rate. If "Yes," delay the first disbursement 30 days for Perkins, Sub and Unsub loans for students who are first time and first-year borrowers (Aggregate loan amount = $0.00, has no loans for prior Payment Period at present, and is Grade Level 1). If "No," do NOT delay first disbursement 30 days. |
Multiple Disbursement Requirement | Optional | Drop-down |
| This is required for schools with a high default rate. If "Yes," for Perkins, Sub and Unsub loans, the school is required to have multiple disbursements for single-term loans. |
Course Repeat Policy | Required | Drop-down |
| All repeat courses taken prior to 07/01/2011 are counted as Qualified Repeats OR
|
Determine Student Census | Required | Drop-down |
| If ‘Determine Student Census’ is set to “No” (default), the system uses the configured census date(s) from Term Setup. If ‘Determine Student Census’ is set to "Yes," the system normally uses the configured Census Dates in Term Setup. However, in a current term when no ISIR is available until after the configured Census Date 1, Regent updates the current term’s census date to be the first date the student is packaged with a valid ISIR. (A “valid” ISIR is any ISIR with a non-blank SAI value.) For past terms that ended before that initial ISIR packaging date, Regent normally sets the past terms' census dates to the term end dates. If a past term contained a positive COD Rebuild Pell amount, Regent instead sets the past term’s census date to the configured Census Date 1 from Term Setup. |

Automatically Award Grade Level Progression | Required | Drop-down |
| For term-based programs only. Used to determine when the system should auto-create additional loan awards for Grade Level change increases during the loan period. If auto-package GL progression is "Yes," the eligibility increase will create a new award. It will use the auto-acceptance settings under fund set up. If the awards are passively accepted, both awards will be automatically accepted. If they require acceptance, both awards would start as offered and require student acceptance. |
Apply SULA Calculations | Required | Drop-down |
| When this setting is enabled, the system will calculate and limit the total Subsidized Loan awarding if the Subsidized Usage Limit Applies (SULA) for that student. |
(Non-Term) Courses for Anticipation | Optional | Text box | Used to calculate per course costs for anticipated packaging. | |
Default Payment Period Crossover | Optional | Two drop-downs, one for month, one for day | Date (month/day only) | Any crossover payment period that begins on or after this date will use the next FAY ISIR (for awarding Pell). The payment period start date of the student must be LESS THAN the date specified in this configuration in order for the loan to use the current year ISIR. |
Default Academic Year Crossover | Optional | Two drop-downs, one for month, one for day | Date (month/day only) | Any loan Academic Year that begins on or after this date will use the next FAY ISIR. The Academic Year start date of the loan must be LESS THAN the date specified in this configuration in order for the loan to use the current year ISIR. For example, if this date is configured as May 01, and an Academic Year starts on May 1, 2019, all AY-based awards are packaged using the 2019-2020 ISIR. If the AY started April 1, 2019, the system would package AY-based awards using the 2018-2019 ISIR. If Auto-Assign Loan Crossover FAY Based on ISIR Availability = "Yes," and the AY crosses more than one FAY, Direct Loans may be awarded from the next-year FAY instead. |
FAY Crossover Awarding | Required | Drop-down |
| Determines how FAY based awards will be packaged in a crossover period (for FAY based funds only).
|
Auto-Assign Loan Crossover FAY Based on ISIR Availability | Required | Drop-down |

Pell Recalculation Option | Required | Drop-down |
| If 'Include Withdrawn Attempted Units' prior to census is selected, Regent Award will include these units in the Pell recalculation amount and if 'Exclude Withdrawn Attempted Units' prior to census is selected, Regent Award will exclude these units in the Pell recalculation amount. |
Allow Partial Payments | Optional | Drop-down |
| Setting the value to "Yes "will enable a disbursement to be EST'd for an award when there is a difference between the Last COD Accepted Amount and the current Disbursement Amount at the time of EST. |
Extend Academic Years for Non-Standard Term | Optional | Drop-down |
| The system uses this to know whether or not additional terms must be added to the AY if the student fails to complete the AY units/weeks. If "No," the number of terms is based on the program setup. If "Yes," and the student lacks the AY units/weeks, the AY is extended with additional term(s). |
Turn off Slow Progression Logic | Optional | Checkbox |
| If selected, use the Programs Academic Year weeks' definition to calculate monthly and weekly COA items, unless the programs length is less than an academic year, then use the Program weeks.
|
Bypass the cross-scope fund restriction for Academic Year scoped documents | Optional | Checkbox |
| If selected, Federal award year (FAY) scoped funds (such as Pell) will not be restricted by academic year scoped document requirements. |
Enable Abbreviated Periods (Non-term Only) | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this option is set to "Yes," schools will have the option, on the Program Management Wizard, to designate an academic year as an "Abbreviated Period" for external transfer students with an open academic year at a prior school, who are transferring into a non-term program. Schools will also have the ability to set up separate disbursement schedules for these abbreviated periods. |
Split Weeks Across Payment Period (Non-term Only) | Optional | Drop-down |
| When "No is chosen in this field, the system will not close a payment period until all of the in-progress courses started within that payment period have been completed. When "Yes" is chosen in this field, once the units requirement for the payment period has been met, a portion of a course's weeks can be counted to close that payment period, while the remaining weeks and all of the units of that course are counted in the next PP. |
Exclude Internal Transfers Courses with 0 Quality Points Towards Progression | Optional | Checkbox |
| This setting controls how SIS-provided internal transfers units with 0 quality points are handled in calculating progression unit totals. When false (unselected), these courses WILL count towards progression (completion of program and grade-level progression). When true (selected), these course WILL NOT count towards progression but these courses will be considered as attempted courses for SAP calculation. |
Exclude External Transfer Courses with 0 Quality Points From Progression | Optional | Checkbox |
| This configuration setting lets schools choose whether to exclude External Transfer Units from being counted toward progression units, when the transferred courses have zero Quality Points. When this option is enabled, External Transfer units with zero Quality Points (e.g. failed courses) are counted separately and not included in Progression Units. |
Allow Regent to Calculate Instructional Weeks | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this option is set to "Yes", Regent Award will calculate the Instructional weeks for each term, in order to calculate Pell using Pell formula 3, and to anticipate the student's academic plan. If "No" is chosen, the school will provide the Instructional weeks value for each term on term setup. |
Uses Modules | Optional | Drop-down |
| Select "Yes" if the school uses Modules. This value will inherit down to the Campus level, where it can be changed, and then it will inherit down the the Program level, where it can also be customized on a per program basis. If the school does not have modular programs, select "No." |
Allow Packaging to Move Paid Disbursements | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this field is set to "Yes", Regent Award will allow packaging to move paid disbursements from the payment period in which they were originally paid, to another payment period.

Users may choose to make manual adjustments. |
Support Mid-Term Program Start Dates: Begins Academic Plan with the term containing the Program Start Date | Optional | Checkbox |
| If this setting is enabled, Regent Award will begin the student's Academic Plan for a program with the term that contains the Program Version Start Date. When the option is not selected (is turned off) and there is no registration for a term containing a Program Version Start Date other than the Term Start Date, Regent Award will begin the student's Academic Plan for a program with the first new term following the Program Version Start Date. |
Auto Acceptance of Redistributed Funds | Optional | Checkbox |
| When enabled, increased Subsidized Loan eligibility for a student that has already previously accepted SUB and UNSUB loans will be auto-accepted. |
Independent Assumed Housing Status | Required | Dropdown |
| The Housing Status selected here is used as the default Housing Status for Independent students for cost items configured with a Housing Status(s). The system will first use the housing choice from the housingStatus UDF, then use the configured Independent Assumed Housing Status. If a housingStatus User Defined Field (UDF) is present for a student and the effective dates apply to the period being packaged, the housingStatus UDF value is always used. A housingStatus UDF with applicable effective dates takes priority over a housingStatus UDF without effective dates. housingStatus User Defined Field values (case sensitive):
|
Dependent Assumed Housing Status | Required | Dropdown |
| The Housing Status selected here is used as the default Housing Status for Dependent students for cost items configured with a Housing Status(s).

If a housingStatus User Defined Field (UDF) is present for a student and the effective dates apply to the period being packaged, the housingStatus UDF value is always used. A housingStatus UDF with applicable effective dates takes priority over a housingStatus UDF without effective dates. housingStatus User Defined Field values (case sensitive):
|
Automated Program Change Settings | ||||
Automate Program Changes for SE Program Groups | Optional | Drop-down |
| When “Yes” is selected in this field, Regent Award will attempt to automate Substantially Equal program changes for those programs that are grouped as Substantially Equal using Program Groups setup. The Program Groups must be configured with SE programs before this setting is enabled. If a Program Change occurs between two programs that do not share the same Program Group, that Program Change will be considered as Not Substantially Equal (NSE). |
Automate SE Program Changes in Abbreviated Periods | Optional | Drop-down |
| When “Yes” is selected in this field, Regent Award will attempt to automate Substantially Equal program changes occurring during an AY that has been designated as an “Abbreviated Period” for those programs that are grouped as Substantially Equal using Program Groups setup. |
Automate Pre-start Program Changes | Optional | Drop-down |
| When “Yes” is selected in this field, Regent Award will attempt to automate Substantially Equal program changes for those programs that are grouped as Substantially Equal using Program Groups setup. |
Automate Program Changes within X days of Plan Start | Optional | Text box - Numeric max value of 99 | When "Yes" is selected for Automate Pre-start Program Changes, Regent Award will attempted to automate program changes occurring within the number of days specified in this field after the start of the student’s Academic Plan in Regent Award (if the student has no paid awards). Access to this configuration option is controlled by permissions. | |
SAP Settings | ||||
Automatically suspend when determined unable to meet MTF | Required | Drop-down |
| If "Yes," and it is determined at any point in time that the student is not able to meet the requirements of the Maximum Time Frame calculation, the student will be automatically suspended. |
SAP FA Suspension cancels all future aid | Required | Drop-down |
| If "Yes," the system will cancel awards to which SAP applies, for all future terms/payment periods (after the end of the SAP review period). Awards that have been marked as "Manual" in Regent Award will not be canceled by this option. |
Date to be used when applying the SAP policy | Required | Drop-down |
| This is used to determine when the SAP policy that will be applied. If the SAP policy is payment period based, and "Review Period End Date" is chosen in this field, then the system will use a student's payment period end date to determine which SAP policy applies to that student based on the SAP policies effective dates. If the SAP policy is academic year based, and "Review Period End Date" is chosen in this field, then the system will use a student's academic year end date to determine which SAP policy applies to that student based on the SAP policies effective dates. |
Use Prior Program SAP Status When Program Is Changed At Same Level | Required | Drop-down |
| This configuration setting determines whether SAP status is inherited when a student has a program-level change at the same level (Undergraduate to Undergraduate, or Graduate to Graduate). For example, an Associates-to-Bachelor's program change (from a two-year to four-year program) is still at the same level, because both programs are Undergraduate. If this setting is Yes, when a student has a program change at the same level (between two Undergraduate programs, or between two Graduate-level programs), then the system will use the last SAP review period in the previous program to determine the student's financial aid eligibility for the new program. If this setting is No, the system will not use the prior program's SAP status to determine eligibility in the new program. Note: This setting was previously named "Use Prior Program SAP Status when Program is Changed." |
Use Prior Program SAP Status When Program Level Is Changed | Required | Drop-down |
| This configuration setting determines whether SAP status is inherited when a student has a program change across program levels: from Undergraduate to Graduate, or from Graduate to Undergraduate.
|
Delay SAP Calculation Due to Missing Grades | Required | Drop-down |
| When this field is set to "Yes," the system will not perform a SAP calculation on a student until grades are received for all courses within the SAP Review Period that meet the following criteria: Program Applicable, has Attendance, is not Withdrawn, is not Excluded from SAP. Qualified Repeats are included. See SAP Setup |
Auto-Generate SAP Node from Student GPA | Required | Drop-down |
| This configuration controls whether the system will try to calculate a SAP status from a student’s cumulative GPA. When the setting is Yes, the system will keep a record of Cumulative GPA values and apply them to evaluate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). When the setting is No, the institution must supply a SAP record by importing SAP data on the Student Batch Load (SBL) process. |
Offset Days for Calculating SAP for Nonterm Review Period | Optional | Drop-down | Numeric, positive integer, up to 3 digits. Zero is a valid value. Default is empty/null. | This setting is used in conjunction with Auto-Generate SAP Node From Student GPA. When a value is provided in this field on a nonterm program, Regent Award will not automatically evaluate Satisfactory Academic Progress for a closed nonterm payment period based on the student’s Cumulative GPA until the specified number of days after the end of the payment period being closed. The system will evaluate SAP using the most recent cumulative GPA received on or after the offset day. If this value is blank or zero, the system will evaluate SAP when the student is packaged and the payment period is closed. |
COA Settings | ||||
For Term based programs, COA Recalculation Options | Required | Drop-down |
| If "Use Census Units" is selected, use the (totalCensusProgramApplicableUnits + courseAdjustmentTotalCensusProgramApplicableUnits) for the student to determine COA for the term, regardless of the date when the student is being packaged. Continue to use anticipated enrollment to calculated COA for anticipated periods.
|
For Non-term Programs, freeze Cost of Attendance Recalculation for all except Monthly/Weekly COA items | Required | Drop-down |
| COA items will not be frozen while a student's Academic Plan is "Anticipated." The option chosen only applies if the student has actual enrollment.
|
For Non-Term Programs, freeze Monthly/Weekly COA items for slow student progress | Required | Drop-down |
| COA items will not be frozen while a student's Academic Plan is "Anticipated." The option chosen only applies if the student has actual enrollment.
|
Exclude All Non-Attended Withdrawn Courses For Per Course Items | Optional | Checkbox |
| This setting controls the types of withdrawn courses excluded in the COA calculation for costs that look at course count (per course Cost Items). When unselected, only courses with a withdrawal date prior to the course start date will be excluded in the course count. When checked, any non-attended withdrawn courses are excluded. However, non-attended courses that are withdrawn after the COA freeze can still be in included in the period's COA. |
For Term based programs, always include Attended Program Applicable Withdrawn Courses for Cost Items using units | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this setting is checked, program applicable (PA) courses that were attended and withdrawn count towards Cost of Attendance (COA). The described PA courses count towards COA when the course's Enrolled Date is prior to the values configured in "For Term based programs, COA Recalculation Options" (via Institution Setup) and the course's Attended flag is "true." This setting does not apply to the enrollment level calculation, Repeat Disqualified units, Remedial Disqualified units, Cumulative Unit Filters on Cost Item Setup or per course Cost Items. |
ISIR Settings | ||||
Verification Status: Federal Award Year | Optional | Drop-down | Displays available Federal Award Years | The options selected in the Verification Status fields will be used to set the Verification Status when importing ISIRs for the Federal Award Year(s) selected unless 'Verified' status is able to be inherited. If no value is selected, Not Verified (N) will be set by default. |
Verification Status: V Group | Optional | Drop-down |
| The options selected in the Verification Status fields will be used to set the Verification Status when importing ISIRs for the Federal Award Year(s) selected unless 'Verified' status is able to be inherited. If no value is selected, Not Verified (N) will be set by default. |
Verification Status: Verification Status | Optional | Drop-down |
| The options selected in the Verification Status fields will be used to set the Verification Status when importing ISIRs for the Federal Award Year(s) selected unless 'Verified' status is able to be inherited. If no value is selected, Not Verified (N) will be set by default. |

| For active ISIRs, inherit the verification status from the previous Active ISIR. |
Export Non-Verified Pell AND DL Sub to COD | Optional | Drop-down |
| Allow non-verified Pell and DL Subsidized awards to be exported to COD. |
Packaging Options | Required | Drop-down |
| Sets the default value on the last step of the ISIR Correction wizard. In the wizard, you must select the appropriate option to use for packaging while the ISIR is in the process of being corrected by CPS. |
ISIR Student Matching | Required | Drop-down |
| This field dictates how ISIR's are matched to students during the ISIR Load process. If the SSN option is selected, the process will first attempt to match by the student's social security number. If no match is found initially, the process will associate the ISIR to a student if the date of birth, first name, and last name all match. If the SSN+DOB+LastName is selected, the social security number, date of birth, and last name all must match for an ISIR to be associated with the student. If the SSN+DOB is selected, the social security number and date of birth all must match for an ISIR to be associated with the student. If Regent Access is enabled, this field should be set to Student ID 2 and a new student record will be created under a new Institution tor each corresponding FSC listed on the ISIR upon no match. |
Match ISIR to Student's Site level FSC | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this field is set to "Yes," ISIRs will be matched to students only if the student's ISIR contains the Federal School Code (FSC) of the Site the student is attending. Otherwise, if this field is set to "No," ISIRs will be matched to students if the student's ISIR contains a Federal School Code that is a match to any Site within the Institution the student is enrolled under. When this option is flipped from "No" to "Yes," and vice versa, Regent Award will not go back and re-match ISIRs that were previously matched under the "No" option. This field should be set to 'Yes' if Regent Access is enabled on the Regent Access tab. |
Rebuild and Import Award Settings | ||||
COD Rebuild AY Start Date Offset | Optional | Text box - Numeric 3 digits max | n/a | Indicates the number of offset days used to align rebuild AY data to the Regent Award AY (term only). If the offset is not configured and the value is blank, Regent Award will use the dates from the SBM record. This option helps determine issues where the term start date does not match the PP start date from Import Rebuild Data. |
COD Rebuild AY End Date Offset | Optional | Text box - Numeric 3 digits max | n/a | Indicates the number of offset days used to align rebuild AY data to the Regent Award AY (term only). If the offset is not configured and the value is blank, Regent Award will use the dates from the SBM record. This option helps determine issues where the term end date does not match the PP end date from Import Rebuild Data. |
Import Award AY Start Date Offset | Optional | Text box - Numeric 3 digits max | n/a | Used for the Import Award and Disbursement Process. Indicates the number of offset days used to align imported award data to the Regent Award AY. |

|
Require Import Award Data for AY0 Years | Optional | Drop-down |
| When this setting is "Yes," the system will require Import Award data to support COD awards in academic years prior to the student's Academic Plan start date. When this setting is "No," the conversion process will allow processing of COD Rebuild awards that do not have accompanying Import Awards and Disbursements, only for Academic Years that occur before the student's Academic Plan start date. If this setting is "No," and a FAY-based award (such as a Pell Grant) has disbursements in both AY0 and AY1, the system will only require Import Awards and Disbursements data for disbursements occurring in AY1 and later AYs. |
Use Import Award Data to Create SBM Records | Optional | Drop-down |
| Used for the Import Award and Disbursement Process. This field controls whether or not Import Award data is used to create StudentBBAYModification (SBM) records and add the student to batch packaging blocks for students that have both COD Rebuild data and Import Award data, where the COD Rebuild data is in a 'Pending Review' status. |
When provided, only use the Import Award Disbursement terms to match COD Rebuild data to a Payment Period | Optional | Drop-down |
| Used for the Import Award and Disbursement Process. When this flag is true, COD Rebuild Disbursements will only be matched to a Payment Period using an associated Import Award Disbursement Term (when provided). If this flag is false or there is no associated term, the legacy Payment Period matching logic will apply (this uses the data to try to determine best match for a PP). |
Override Short/Invalid Length Academic Years For Import Award Supported COD Rebuild Data | Optional | Drop-down |
| Used for the Import Award and Disbursement Process. Selecting "Yes" will ignore any validation errors triggered by invalid length and short academic years in the rebuild data during the import process. |
System will manage Loans as of | Optional | Drop-down |
| Indicates the year in which Regent Award will take over management of student's loans. |
System will manage Grants as of | Optional | Drop-down |
| Indicates the year in which Regent Award will take over management of student's grants. |
Offset Fund Budget Amounts for Import Awards | Optional | Checkbox |
| When this option is unselected, Regent Award allows conversion Import Awards and Disbursements (IAD) to process into Regent Award without reducing the applicable fund budget. Regent assumes that awards created or updated in Regent Award from IAD files have already been accounted for by the fund budget in the pre-Regent Award system. Fund budget amounts configured in Regent Award should reflect what is remaining to award at the time of go-live. For example, users would query their current Financial Aid (FA) system to find all Import Awards and Disbursements grouped into Federal Award Year and Date Ranges (that match Regent Award Fund Budget configuration) to calculate the total amount awarded. The budget amount value entered into Regent Award should be "total available budget" minus the query total (amount Regent Award can award). Information Note: Customers that are currently processing FA for budgeted funds via the IAD process in a Regent Production environment are not impacted with this new option (post go-live). Post go-live customers are not advised to turn off this process. A customer that is not currently processing FA for budgeted funds via the IAD process in a Regent Production environment (pre go-live), may or may not need to turn off this process. A customer that has a need to import or on-board inactive students with budgeted funds via the IAD process but does not want the fund's budget amount to update, should turn off this process. A customer that always wants the fund's budget amounts to be offset (updated) via the IAD process should keep this process turned on. |
Auto-Package New Title IV Awards in Rebuild Loan Award Periods | Optional | Drop-down |
| This setting controls whether Regent Award should try to automatically create new Title IV awards if an existing Title IV Rebuild loan already exists in the same Award Period.
If a new Regent Award school expects to import all existing packaged awards as Rebuild files, the setting should be left configured to "No." For example, Passive Acceptance schools may not want to auto-package any new awards in addition to the existing Rebuild awards. If a new Regent Award school expects to import only some awards, but expects auto-packaging to add new awards, the setting should be configured to "Yes." For example, if an Active Acceptance school only imports Accepted awards, but has many Offered awards that do not have Rebuild data, the school may want to configure the setting as "Yes." |
Academic Year 1 overlaps Regent Award Program Start Date | ||||
Start Date is Less Than or Equal to Max Loan Period End Date | Optional | Drop-down |
| Academic Year 1 overlaps Regent Award Program Start Date; Default to Academic Year 1 - The Regent Award program's start date is in the middle of the previous program's AY, and within an open LP. When Regent Award receives a Course Enrollment Program start date in Regent Award that overlaps with the previous program's AY, Regent Award marks the AY as AY1. Regent Award assumes that since the actual program start date for Regent Award falls within the previous program's AY, it must have been a Substantially Equal Program Change. When this option is selected, Regent Award will being the student's Academic Plan with AY1. |
Start Date is Greater Than Max Loan Period End Date | Optional | Drop-down |
| Academic Year 1 overlaps Regent Award Program Start Date; Set Academic Year to Prior-To-Program (AY0) - The Regent Award program's start date is in the middle of the previous program's AY, but after the LP end date. Regent Award will start a new AY0 for the student's academic plan. Regent Award marks the SBM as prior-to-program, and enters it as an AY0. Any open loans for the student's prior program or rebuild data Regent Award receives will go into AY0. |

This is an offset from the student's Date of Determination (DOD), received in the SBL R2T4 node for “Date of Determination” or updated on the R2T4 worksheet, manually, by a user.
The "Not Required Logic" will be run daily until the R2T4 can be closed as "Not Required", or until the R2T4 is "Finalized" by either a user or the R2T4 Automation Process. If Review R2T4 Task triggered by SBL and the DOD in the R2T4 node is further in the past than the number of days for the offset(s), the evaluation will take place on the next run of the R2T4 automation process. | Required - When Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required is set to yes | Text box - numeric 3 characters max | The default value is blank and is only editable when "Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required" is set to "Yes" Zero is a valid entry for this field.

This is an offset from the student's Date of Determination (DOD), received in the SBL R2T4 node for “Date of Determination” or updated on the R2T4 worksheet, manually, by a user. This offset will determine when Regent Award will begin evaluating potential R2T4s to see if they can be “Finalized.”
The "Auto-Finalization Logic" will be run daily until the R2T4 can be "Finalized" by the R2T4 Automation Process, or until the R2T4 is "Finalized" by a user. If Review R2T4 Task triggered by SBL and the DOD in the R2T4 node is further in the past than the number of days for the offset(s), the evaluation will take place on the next run of the R2T4 automation process. | Required - When Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required is set to yes | Text box - numeric 3 characters max | The default value is blank and is only editable when "Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required" is set to "Yes" Zero is a valid entry for this field.
