Field updates

Additional Learner Reference Number validation


The system will check that the Additional Learner Reference Number (ALRN) does not exceed the maximum length.

If the system finds that the Additional Learner Reference Number is in the correct format, it will save the updates. The page will refresh and show the updated information.

If the system finds that the Additional Learner Reference Number format is incorrect, it will not save the updates. The number will be removed from the page and you'll get the following message:

‘The Additional Learner Reference Number is in the incorrect format, please update this and submit changes.’

If you submit Additional Learner Reference Numbers for multiple learners, the system will update all that pass validation. To find which updates failed validation, search for records with blanks.

When you add Additional Learner Reference Numbers from a page of search results, the changes can only be added for one page at a time. You must submit them before you move on to the next page. If you try to move to another page without selecting Submit Changes you'll get the following message:

‘Please submit your changes before continuing.’
