Namespace

The Namespace administration maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values which are stored in database tables. This data serves as reference information that is made available for display and selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs. Namespace codes are used to identify various pieces of functionality and generally correspond to large functional areas. The namespaces in the KC base data normally take the form of a Kuali application followed by one of that application's modules. Typically, only System Administrators or Technical Administrator roles have the ability to initiate this document, and it does not route for approval.

Edit Namespace Section

The Edit Namespace section of the Namespace administration maintenance document is a unique section that allows you to specify and maintain the details associated with the reference table record in fields.

Table 1162 Namespace Administration Maintenance Document - Edit Namespace Section Field Descriptions

Field	Description
Namespace Code	Required. Enter the namespace code for this namespace. The KC convention for most namespaces is application abbreviation and module abbreviation separated by a dash (for example, ‘KC-PD’ for Kuali Coeus Proposal Development).
Namespace Name	Required. Type the full textual name of the namespace as it is commonly referred to (for example, Proposal Development).
Application Namespace Code	Optional. An additional namespace identifier which identifies which application should recognize this namespace code. This is generally only used in instances where the regular namespace code is not enough to make an attribute unique. This attribute is normally used directly on the Parameter document and not assigned specifically to a namespace on this table.
Active Indicator	Leave checked to indicate that this namespace is active and can be associated with permissions, responsibilities, roles and Kuali data elements organized by namespace. Uncheck the box to inactivate this namespace and make it an invalid choice. Click within the checkbox to select the item. A check mark appears within the checkbox to indicate the item is selected. Click within the checkbox again to clear the mark and deselect the item.
