This field is used to capture the latest graduation date from the transcript. The system automatically converts the date of birth on the document, irrespective of how it is expressed, into the designated Verifier output format. The format can be set to DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY in the Date Settings page in SCM.
If a date is entered manually in Verifier, then conversion does not take place unless the date entered is does not match the Verifier output format.
The system can be configured to invalidate the date of birth if the following is true. X is configurable.
-
It is more than x days in the future.
-
It falls more than x days prior to the current date.
Machine and local user settings play no part in the system's internal handling of dates. User input into the date field is not subject to the checks previously listed as long as the date entered is valid for the output format.
