Define rules on the Rules tab

Define any type of rule on the Rules tab. If you distribute rules worksheets to your departments, you can then use those worksheets to define all your rules on the Rules tab.

To define rules on the Rules tab:

  1. Log on to the Build view.
  2. Click the Rules tab. The list of rule definitions appears.
  3. Click the name of the rule type you want to define. The Rule Definitions page for that rule appears.
  4. On the Options menu, click Add. The New Schedule Rule page for that rule appears.
  5. Enter the information, and click Save.

    6. Note: Although you can create an unlimited number of each scheduling rule, be aware that these rules constrict the options Aspen has to place students in the courses they request.

To print a list of the scheduling rules you create, run the Schedule Rule Summary report.

You can also view any rules a section is associated with on the Workspace tab. After you select the section, click Rules on the Details side-tab.
