Cohort Relations {SSTUD9-10}

This option is used to set up relations between cohorts as defined in {SSTUD9-1}.

Both cohorts that are referenced here must be defined in option {SSTUD9-1}.

Please remember that a cohort definition includes the code and user ID to uniquely identify a cohort. Both of these elements must be used to define the relation. The program will prevent a cohort from being linked to itself in any way.

During the auto-generation of cohorts in {SSTUD9-5}, students will be linked to the Cohort Code and User (left hand side of the screen), i.e. the 'primary' cohort code. The program will check if the student complies with the relationship requirement of the involved Cohort Code and User (right hand side of the screen).

Cohorts can be linked to the following types of relations:

• Pre-requisite (P)
• The student must be linked to the involved cohort code before linking to the 'primary' cohort code will be done.
• Exclude (E).
• The student must be not have been linked to the involved cohort code before linking to the 'primary' cohort code is done.
• Chain Cohort (C)
• Cohorts that have students linked {SSTUD9-4} and / or have parameter set(s) {SSTUD9-1} defined cannot be used as Involved Cohorts for 'C' relation.

The sort order of records is:

• Cohort Code.
• User.
• Involved cohort code.
