Campus Solutions 9.2 - Waiting for you!

Excerpt from Oracle Investment in Higher Education FAQ Document March 2014

You might face this question at some point of time.

“Tell be about Campus Solutions 9.1 and it’s features, and what’s new in 9.2?”. And the most appropriate answer would be, “There wasn’t a 9.1 version for CS”.

It is a bit of excitement about CS 9.2 getting garbed up behind the scenes. Waiting for it!

Transform the PSQuery

You might have already noticed a new tab on the PSQuery Manager - Transformations.

This is the place where you can place your custom XSL code and render the query in a much better way, than displaying it in a traditional way.

The best part I loved about this is that, you can create excellent report from the query, without using any existing reporting tools, but with just few lines of XSL + HML fused together. That's awesome!
