Shared language

Help every team ask clearer ESAAP questions

Management and leadership

Use common terms for workflows, analytics, reports, ROI, rollout phases, and organization outcomes before approval discussions.

Academic and exam teams

Clarify SIS, CBCS, NEP, OBE, DVS, attendance, exams, results, and accreditation evidence across departments.

IT and admin teams

Create shared understanding around permissions, migration, integrations, audit trails, backups, support ownership, and go-live controls.

How to use this glossary

Turn terms into practical demo questions

Align the team

Share the terms with management, academic office, accounts, exam cell, IQAC, IT, and activity owners before the live walkthrough.

Mark unclear terms

If a term is unclear, ask ESAAP to show the matching screen, approval flow, report, permission rule, or migration step.

Connect terms to outcomes

Tie each term to an organization outcome such as fee visibility, exam control, attendance risk, evidence readiness, or report speed.

Use terms in rollout scope

Convert agreed terms into module scope, owner names, data preparation, training topics, and first-phase rollout priorities.

Core product language

Terms every stakeholder group should understand before the walkthrough

ERP

A connected platform for admissions, student records, academics, fees, exams, HR, services, reports, and governance data.

SIS

Student Information System. The student record layer for admissions, profiles, enrollment, attendance, academic history, documents, and services.

Workflow

The sequence of roles, approvals, alerts, records, and reports that moves campus work from request to completion.

MIS dashboard

Management Information System view for leadership to review admissions, fee dues, attendance risk, exam progress, compliance gaps, and operational status.

RBAC

Role-Based Access Control. Permissions that decide what management, administrators, faculty, students, parents, IQAC, accounts, and exam users can see or do.

Audit trail

A history of who created, changed, approved, exported, or deleted records so the institution can review accountability and compliance.

Academic and compliance terms

Terms used by academic offices, HODs, IQAC, and accreditation teams

NEP

National Education Policy. In ERP discussions, it usually means academic flexibility, credits, progression, student history, and report readiness.

CBCS

Choice-Based Credit System. A structure where students select courses or electives under defined credit, semester, and program rules.

OBE

Outcome-Based Education. A method of linking course delivery, assessments, CO-PO mapping, attainment, and improvement actions.

CO-PO mapping

The relationship between course outcomes and program outcomes, used for attainment review and accreditation evidence.

Attainment

A measured view of whether course, program, or learning outcomes were achieved using marks, rubrics, feedback, or other evidence.

Evidence repository

A governed place to store documents, records, reports, approvals, and exports needed for IQAC, NAAC, NBA, audit, or management review.

Exam, finance, and rollout terms

Terms that affect daily operations and implementation planning

DVS

Digital Valuation System. A controlled workflow for answer-script allocation, evaluator activity, marks capture, moderation, result preparation, and revaluation.

Hall-ticket eligibility

Rules that decide whether a student can receive a hall ticket based on attendance, fee dues, exam registration, or academic conditions.

Result readiness

The status of exam schedules, marks entry, valuation, moderation, approvals, exceptions, and reports before results are published.

Fee reconciliation

Matching demand, receipts, concessions, online payments, dues, refunds, and accounts reports so finance teams can trust collections.

Data migration

Moving old ERP exports, spreadsheets, registers, and documents into ESAAP after cleanup, mapping, validation, and owner sign-off.

Phased rollout

Launching ESAAP module by module or department by department so training, data validation, support, and adoption are manageable.

Product questions

Use the glossary to make the ESAAP demo more specific

When someone says workflow

Ask which role starts it, who approves it, what alert is sent, what report changes, and what exception can delay it.

When someone says dashboard

Ask what live data appears, who can see it, whether drill-down is available, and which decision it should improve.

When someone says migration

Ask which old records are needed, who validates them, what errors are expected, and when the institution signs off.

When someone says compliance

Ask what evidence is captured during daily work, who owns missing items, and which exports are needed for review.
