Overview

The IGS_AD_INTVW_PNLS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS). It functions as the master repository for screening or interview panel definitions used in the admissions process. The table's primary role is to store the foundational, header-level information for each distinct panel that is created to evaluate applicants. This enables institutions to systematically organize and manage the groups of individuals responsible for conducting interviews or screenings, ensuring a structured and auditable admissions workflow. As a key component of the IGS module, this table supports the complex logistical requirements of applicant assessment in higher education.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the structure indicates the table holds essential panel identification and control data. The central column is PANEL_CODE, which serves as the unique identifier (Primary Key) for each panel record. This code is referenced throughout related tables to maintain data integrity. Other typical columns in such a table, inferred from its description and related objects, would likely include the panel's name or description, its effective dates (start and end), the associated admission process or term, its status (e.g., 'Active', 'Inactive'), and creation/modification audit information (created_by, creation_date, last_updated_by, last_update_date). The table acts as the parent record for all subsequent panel scheduling and membership details.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to operations involving the setup and querying of interview panels. Common functional use cases include creating a new panel for a specific academic intake, modifying an existing panel's parameters, or inactivating a panel that is no longer in use. From a reporting and data retrieval perspective, typical SQL queries involve joining this table with its child tables to gain a complete view of panel operations. For example, a query to list all active panels and their scheduled dates would join IGS_AD_INTVW_PNLS with IGS_AD_PANEL_DTLS. Another common pattern is to retrieve a list of panels along with their assigned members by joining with IGS_AD_PANEL_MEMBRS. Administrators often query this table to audit panel usage or to generate master lists of panels for a given admission cycle.

Related Objects

The IGS_AD_INTVW_PNLS table has defined relationships with several other key tables in the Student System, forming a logical data model for panel management. As per the provided foreign key metadata, it is directly referenced by:

• IGS_AD_PANEL_DTLS: Stores the specific date, time, and location details for instances of a panel defined in IGS_AD_INTVW_PNLS.
• IGS_AD_PANEL_MEMBRS: Holds the records of the individuals (members) assigned to each panel, linked via the PANEL_CODE.

This structure indicates that IGS_AD_INTVW_PNLS is the parent table, with panel details and membership being dependent child entities. Any integration, data load, or customization affecting panels must consider these relationships to maintain referential integrity.
