Prerequisites
There are no specific prerequisites for reading this documentation. However, it will be helpful if you have the following qualifications:
• Basic familiarity with your institution’s research administration business rules and practices
• Working experience with Web-based software application systems
We recommend that you visit http://www.kuali.org for a general orientation, and strongly encourage you to take a “test drive” of the demonstration version of KC that is accessible from this site. It not only allows you to preview the KC functionality, but more importantly, it gives you the opportunity to practice using the software, which helps to reinforce the concepts and skills introduced in this documentation.

Tip: KC User Documentation and In-Application Help is not meant to take the place of on-the-job training on your institution’s research administration policies, procedures and tasks. KC is a tool you will use to accomplish a portion of those tasks, but this documentation is not intended to train you how research administration activities happen at your institution. Although it covers enough of the very general principles of online research administration to instruct you how to use the software, it does not take into account which users with which job duties use which screens to perform which tasks – this is the responsibility of your unit or department within the organization. KC’s flexibility for configuration and customization dictates that it is the responsibility of your institution to educate you about its unique implementation of KC. |
