This program uses the current Master Schedule Editor and the students` course requests to build a schedule for each student. Each committed run which includes the student schedules that were created and Master Schedule Editor used for the run will be saved for future use. The runs are saved so that if adjustments are made to the current Master Schedule Editor and/or student requests and another run is made, the best run can be chosen to be used for the students` schedules.
