Copy and Power Rename

XML Questions

  • Remove irrelevant tags. We are only adding questions with a single tag to make it easier to find, delete and re-add questions when Carnival change PDR content.

  • Fix any special characters

  • Find Replace & with “and”

  • Rename files to match importQuestion commands

XML Exams

  • Find Replace & with “and”

  • Replace HtmlContent parameter with <HtmlContent><![CDATA[<script src="/Smp/Cnt/Root/CUK/-File/js/pdr-collapse.js"></script>]]></HtmlContent> NOTE: the OrgPath needs to be set depending on which brand you are importing too

  • Rename files to match importExam commands

  • Note: when we import Exams, we need to include: <![CDATA[QuestionCategory]]> wrapped around the Question Categories. The Exam files that Carnival provides does not necessarily include this.

Page files and Setup Commands

  • Find and Replace PositionCode. Use NotePad++ Find in Files to do this in all files

  • Find and Replace TagCode with what is used in the Question File tags. Use NotePad++ Find in Files to do this.

  • If creating new vessel setups for a brand then copy and paste and Vessel-specific files

  • Evaluation Import names need to begin with ImportName="#!#/Root/Carnival/BRAND/PDRs| to draw from the correct Assessment Repository

Assessor Guidelines

  • Rename files to match importNavPage files

  • Load to FTP in appropriate locate as per importNavPage files

Offering Rules

  • Find and Replace PositionCode

  • Find and Replace TagCode

  • Add and run rules

 

Setting up Registration and Instructor Rules using Matrices

Example PDR Student Matrix (CCL-1EN):

 

  1. Download a new matrix from the PDR page that you built (e.g. 3ETO)

  2. Reorder/Alphabetize the columns (v4.7, will be done automatically). I like to put the Assessments in a first section and then the Verifications in a 2nd section

  3. You will need to copy the PDR2 Assessment column and replicate it the same number of times as Vessel Classes (So, in this example, there are 7 Vessel classes, so you need 7 PDR 2 Assessment columns - 1 PDR2 Assessment rule for each class).

  4. Fill out the Ranks and Vessels as per Client specifications

  5. Fill out the top part:

    1. PDR3 and PDR2 ReRegistration; PDR 1 OneTime

    2. PDR3 = 30d; PDR2 180d

    3. Certificates: PDR3 = 2Y; PDR2 = 5Y

    4. ASSESSMENTS: Use MostRecentRegistrationCompletedFor with the Path of the Verification from the Previous Level

    5. VERIFICATIONS: Use CompletedForSinceCurrentCompletion with the Path of the Assessment from the Same Level

 

Example PDR Instructor Matrix (CCL - 1EN):

  1. Download a new matrix from the PDR page that you built (e.g. 3ETO)

  2. Reorder/Alphabetize the columns (v4.7, will be done automatically). You don’t need to split up the Assessments and Verifications into sections

  3. Instructor Rule Status = Active

  4. Add an x for Remove Instructor if client desires this

  5. Fill in the ranks / vessels as advised by Client

Post Setup Checklist (Run through prior to notifying client that setup is complete):

  • Check Attributes (including Permissions) using GetLinkAttributes on each Course and Nav Page level

  • Check Assessment Link System.Content.Evaluation.SelectedTags Attributes (GetLinkAttribute)
