- Note: This is tied to the /wiki/spaces/TD/pages/94510343 work to increase load speeds.
For performance reasons, certain areas have had key date sets hard coded in to the content. This reduces the load on Squiz checking and generating JSON objects representing the matrix of key date sets. Where there has been 20+ subjects we've seen up to 50% increase in load speeds (from 140 seconds on stage to ~70). On areas where there are less than 20 subjects there have been smaller yet notable performance gains.
To edit / maintain / modify / add key dates in the below areas, you would construct the qual / programme as normal and add the key date sets via the metadata as usual.
You'd then preview the JSON output of the qual / programme on cms. From this output, you'd copy the keydate blocks between the square brackets in to the 'Apply' page of each Subject.

Nathan Irwin there's not a heap that can be done here for keydates as there's no Keydates but for on the Creative Writing Subject. It loads relatively slowly on stage with the timeout increased ~40 seconds. Requirements are static already.

Sample
For example, take a look at the Bachelor of Commerce with Honours (363406). Look at it's web paths, then open the CMS webpath - i.e.
http://cms.victoria.ac.nz/postgradprogrammes/programmes/bachelor-of-commerce-with-honours
When this page loads, it assembles a large JSON blob that the app eventually turns in to a page. Within this JSON Blob you can see the constructed key date sets for each subject. In squiz, Accounting is a subject under the Bachelor of Commerce with Honours and it has an Apply page (on which the key date sets are generated). The asset ID for this page is 363795 - look for this in the JSON output - it will look like this the below.
Copy the content between the keydate set square brackets, starting at "keyDatesSet" [ { and ending at {}]
},
{}],
"asset_metadata_keyInfoSet" : "VI00Z5",
"asset_metadata_summaryCardOverrides" : {}
,
"insidePages" : {"Apply" : {
"asset_assetid" : "363795",

},
{}]
},
"fees" : {

}
},
Paste this content in, in place of all content between the (and including the) square brackets in the JSON object on the 'Apply' page for this subject (highlighted):
{
"contentType" : "postgrad-apply",
"content" : {
"startStudying" : {
"type" : "keyDatesSet",
"heading" : "Start Studying",
"appendix" : "",
"keyDatesSet" : [ %asset_parent^as_asset:asset_metadata_keyDateSet^as_asset:asset_contents^replace_keywords:empty:{asset_parent^as_asset:asset_metadata_parentProgramme^as_asset:asset_metadata_keyDateSet^as_asset:asset_contents}% {}]
},
"fees" : {
"contentType" : "fees",
"heading" : "",
"content" : ""
}
}
}
Results in

"content" : {
"startStudying" : {
"type" : "keyDatesSet",

},
{}]
},
"fees" : {
"contentType" : "fees",
"heading" : "",
"content" : ""
}
}
}
Repeat this for all Apply pages within the programme or qual subjects.
Note
Application of static key date set content implies that keydatesets have been applied and the keydateset JSON block has been applied also.
Maintaining / Updating Keydate static content
When Keydates need to be updated, you have to back out the static content and replace it with the standard keydate block as below. You then need to preview the asset again and re-add the keydates back in.
{
"contentType" : "postgrad-apply",
"content" : {
"startStudying" : {
"type" : "keyDatesSet",
"heading" : "Start studying",
"appendix" : "",
"keyDatesSet" : [ %asset_parent^as_asset:asset_metadata_keyDateSet^as_asset:asset_contents^replace_keywords:empty:{asset_parent^as_asset:asset_metadata_parentProgramme^as_asset:asset_metadata_keyDateSet^as_asset:asset_contents}% {}]
},
"fees" : {
"contentType" : "fees",
"heading" : "",
"content" : ""
}
}
}
