Tip
A school may reuse the same code for different resources, e.g. subject and a room where Ma could be used for both the Maths subject and the Maths room.
School Codes
Schools have their own convention for codes that are used to identify resources. For example, a school may use a code like GGar to identify a teacher named George Gardiner. These codes are often used for CSV data transfers, or where screen real estate is at a premium.
Juniper Connect supports this by allowing schools to specify their own resource codes. These codes are scoped to a resource type and school and must be unique within that scope.
Validation
Alphanumeric only, maximum of 6 characters and a minimum of 2.
Matching & Uniqueness
Schools may use a combination of uppercase and lowercase characters in their codes for presentation purposes, but matching and uniqueness is case-insensitive. For example, Ma and ma are considered the same code.
Standard Codes
Schools are free to choose their own codes for the majority of resources. However, subject resource codes have been standardised. These are as follows:
