Overview

IGSBV_UC_FORM_QUALIFICATIONS is a Business Intelligence System (BIS) view owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite. It is registered under the FND Design Data identifier IGS.IGSBV_UC_FORM_QUALIFICATIONS and is classified as a "Base View for individual Form Qualifications." Its purpose is to expose, in a flattened and human-readable form, the qualification records that applicants declare on UCAS application forms. These records capture the academic and professional credentials an applicant holds prior to admission.

The view is part of the Oracle Student System Recruitment and Admissions product family, which supports the processing of University and College Admissions Service (UCAS) applications. By conforming the underlying transaction tables into a denormalized projection, the view provides a stable interface for reporting, extracts, and integration with external admissions or analytics systems. Reporting tools and personalization layers can query the view without needing to navigate the join logic and surrogate keys used in the underlying schema.

Status is VALID, meaning the view compiles cleanly and can be referenced in PL/SQL and SQL statements against the APPS schema in both EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It is not referenced by any other database object, so it functions strictly as a terminal reporting object.

Underlying Base Objects

According to the documented dependency information, the view is defined over two APPS base tables: IGS_UC_APPLICANTS and IGS_UC_FORM_QUALS. IGS_UC_APPLICANTS holds the applicant-level record, including the UCAS applicant number and the associated OSS person identifier. IGS_UC_FORM_QUALS holds the individual qualification line entries declared on the form, keyed within the context of the applicant.

The view performs the necessary join between these two tables so that each row represents a single qualification belonging to a single applicant. No other database object references the view, which confirms that it is intended purely as an outbound reporting surface rather than a building block for further database objects. The dependency metadata does not document view-level WHERE clauses or filters beyond the join, so consumers should assume the view returns all qualification rows held for all applicants in the underlying tables.

Key Columns

• UCAS_APPLICANT_NUMBER — The numeric UCAS applicant identifier, used to correlate the qualification with the applicant's UCAS record.
• QUALIFICATION_IDENTIFIER — Surrogate identifier for the individual qualification line.
• QUALIFICATION_TYPE — The category of qualification (for example, degree, A-level, or vocational award).
• AWARDING_BODY — Code identifying the institution or authority that granted the qualification.
• TITLE — Descriptive title of the qualification as declared by the applicant.
• GRADE — The result or grade obtained.
• QUALIFICATION_DATE — The date on which the qualification was awarded. This column is the primary target for the user search term "qualification_date" and supports date filtering, year-of-award analysis, and chronological ordering of academic history.
• OSS_PERSON_IDENTIFIER — Foreign key to the Oracle Student System person record, enabling linkage to broader student data.
• CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE — Standard WHO audit columns for change tracking.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical uses include admissions reporting on applicant qualifications, verification of minimum entry requirements, migration or extraction of qualification history into external systems, and analytical review of grade distributions. The following query lists qualifications awarded on or after a given date for a specific applicant:

SELECT ucas_applicant_number, qualification_type, awarding_body, title, grade, qualification_date
FROM apps.igsbv_uc_form_qualifications
WHERE qualification_date >= TO_DATE('01-JAN-2010','DD-MON-YYYY')
AND ucas_applicant_number = 12345678;

For award-year analysis, the QUALIFICATION_DATE column can be aggregated:

SELECT TO_CHAR(qualification_date,'YYYY') award_year, qualification_type, COUNT(*)
FROM apps.igsbv_uc_form_qualifications
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(qualification_date,'YYYY'), qualification_type
ORDER BY award_year, qualification_type;

Because the view is not referenced by other database objects, it can be queried freely without impact on dependent code. As with all APPS BIS views, access should be granted through the standard reporting responsibilities and the APPS schema synonyms.
