LookupClassSections (V2)

The LookupClassSections activity is a lookup function that finds the Course Id for a class section based on a specified Course Name and Term Id. The activity includes a Search tool that returns Course Names and Course Codes. When you select a Course in the Search tool, the selected item is inserted into the Course Name field of the LookupClassSections activity and the Search tool is closed. You can use this lookup function during a course registration activity.

Use Case

A workflow detects when a student's status changes from any status to an enrolled status and automatically registers the student into an introductory course (Intro101). The LookupClassSections activity is used in the workflow to determine the Course Id (that is, the ClassSectionId of the StudentCourse) for the Intro101 course in the applicable term.
