Valid Subject Group Combinations {SACAD-11}

Registration Subject Groups are defined on {SCODE3-2}. (This was previously the first block on {SACAD-11}).

This option may be used to set up a code structure of Subject Groups. Groups of subjects are defined and then subjects are linked to the specific groups. The application consists of three panel boxes as explained below.

Subject Groups are used in

The Student iEnabler Application / Registration where it works in conjunction with Validations {SMNT-1} "GA", "GB" and "GC".

It is not a requirement to set any rules.

The subjects will be generated according to the group set-up and students may then use the 'tick box' in front of the subject to select a subject for registration.

If rules are set, the applicant must pass these rules to continue with the application process.

Note that Compulsory subjects must not be included in any group as they will be in a pre-selected list if only one block / offering type / study period combination on the curriculum is available.

When a Subject Group is linked to the Academic Application {SNAPPA-3} of a Student through "Maintain Student Subject Groups {SNAPPAA-7}", the Subjects in the Group will be populated in the Planned Subjects of the Academic Application {SNAPPA-3} once the Student has been Admitted.

The set-up of the groups include

The sequence in which the groups must be displayed.
Minimum and maximum number of subjects that must / can be taken from any group.

This program is sensitive to User Restriction {SMNT-5} "SGRP - Restrict Subject Groups".

The data in the different panel boxes are dependent to each other.. Records cannot be created in panel box 2 if the corresponding record does not exist in panel box 1. Similarly, records cannot be created in panel box 3 without a corresponding record in panel box 2, however each panel box has a 'search' button where independent data can be search within each panel box. A pop up will display all the independent 'searched' data.
