Additional information

This field describes the activity of a Graduate from the survey results, based on a matrix of the most important activity Graduate.MIMPACT, All activities Graduate.ALLACT, together with Emplyoment.EMPINTENSITY, SelfEmployment.BUSEMPINTENSITY and Study.STUINTENSITY and Graduate.CONSTART.

Where more than one activity is returned for a graduate Graduate.MIMPACT identifies the most important activity.

Schema validation exists to enforce that Graduate.MIMPACT is completed and returned once for all leavers (Minimum occurrences 1 and Maximum occurrences 1). The specification assumes that the activity code returned in Graduate.MIMPACT for a leaver has been returned in Graduate.ALLACT1, ALLACT2, ALLACT3, ALLACT4, ALLACT5, ALLACT6.
