LookupTerms (V1)
This activity was migrated to a new namespace. For new workflows use LookupTerms (V2) in Cmc.Nexus.Academics.Workflow.
The LookupTerms activity is a function that captures the Business Unit Id from an event and returns the Terms for a specified time period.
You could use this activity in a workflow on a Saving event since the Expected Start Date is entered on the Student Master form. The workflow could check whether a valid term start date is entered and provide a validation message.
Another way to use LookupTerms is to create a workflow with a ForEach loop that lists Term start dates within a certain time period of Expected Start Date. The list of Term start dates could be displayed in an Information message.
