The University of Amsterdam implemented Research Tracking as the primary registration tool for registration of the PhD candidates. The Office of the Rector uses the AAWS webservices for the registration of the candidates, after which they will be enrolled in a separate career and program/plan. Checklists are used to track part of the progress. The 3C-engine is used to send communication, some automatically depending of the stage of the PhD process and others manually. An advanced workcenter is used to manage and monitor the process. One of the goals was to implement this module without the current available functionality, so without any customizations in PeopleCode and pages. We will show you the main functionality of the Research Tracking module and how we build a workcenter to support the process. Functionality used: Research Tracking, Admissions Web Services (AAWS), 3C-engine, Communication, Checklists, Common Attribute Framework (CAF), Query and Reporting tool, Workcenter and Pagelets.
