Action Items
AccuCampus uses Action Items for referrals and processes such as early alerts. It’s a simple process for faculty or other staff members (or even students) to flag a user for a variety of reasons, and each step of the process is tracked in AccuCampus. In many cases, alerts can be assigned or marked as completed automatically. Each Action Item can be hidden from inappropriate parties, and only authorized users can view individual student plans.
Assigning Action Items
From the Action Item screen, you will see a list of currently existing Action Items. The Action Items that are visible to you will depend on your role and the settings of individual Action Items.
From the Main Sidebar, hover over Action Plan.
Click Action Items.
Choose an Action Item and click Assign next to the chosen item.
Choose to Assign the item to a Student or Members of a Group.
Select the student or group that the item will be assigned to.
If desired, modify the Due On date for the Action Item. The date showing will be the default date based on the set up of the Action Item. The time showing will be the time that the Action Item is assigned.
If desired, modify the Expire On date for the Action Item. The date showing will be the default date based on the set up of the Action Item. The time showing will be the time that the Action Item is assigned.
Choose if the item will Autocomplete Based on Rules. The rule can also be completed manually by checking the Completed check box – this can be done at any time. Note that a rule will need to be set up in Advanced Options which will trigger the autocompletion in order for this option to take place. See Module 17 for instructions on how to set up the rule.
Enter any MyPlan Notes for the user. These are specific notes to the user and can include any additional information the user may need to complete the action item.
Choose if the MyPlan Notes will be Public for Student. The default is for this to be checked and all notes to be visible. All notes written will be visible to the assigner and to any followers on the Action Item.
If desired, add additional Followers for the Action Item. These are users who will be notified of any progress on the Action Item, including when it is completed. Any followers assigned when the Action Item was created will also appear here.
Click Save.
Assigning Action Packs
From the Action Packs screen, you will see a list of currently existing Action Packs. The Action Packs that are visible to you will depend on your role.

Enter Notes.
For each individual Action Item in the pack:
If desired, modify the Due On and Expire On dates for each item.
Choose if the individual Action Item will Autocomplete Based on Rules. Note that rules for each Action Item will need to be set up in Advanced Options which will trigger the autocompletion in order for this option to take place. The rules will also need to specify that the next item should be assigned.
Choose if each Action Item will be Public for Student.
Click Save.
