After you determine the number of sections you need to offer for each course, you must initialize the workspace to include a separate record for each section of each course.
|
Note: You can initialize the workspace as many times as you want. The initialization process does not delete sections. It only adds new sections, or warns you that you have too many for a course. You must select sections to delete, and select Delete on the Options menu. |
To initialize the workspace:
- Log on to the Build view.
- Click the Workspace tab.
- On the Options menu, click Initialize Sections. The Initialize Sections pop-up appears.
- Select one of the following to select which courses you want to initialize sections for:
- All courses.
- Selection: A list of all courses appears. Select the courses you want to initialize.
- Department: A list of departments appears. Select which departments of courses you want to initialize.
- Grade level: A list of grade levels appears. Select which grade levels of courses you want to initialize.
- Snapshot:
A list of snapshots appears. Select the snapshot
a static picture of a particular group of records that you can file and easily retrieve
of courses you want to initialize.
- Click OK.
The system creates a record in the workspace for every section of each course that you identified when you defined course scheduling parameters.
Now, you can assign information such as teachers, terms, rooms, and even specific schedules to course sections.
