Setup and Load A/B Scheduling
This program is a fast loader that assigns days of the week to display in the DOW and DOW TITLE column in the Master Schedule Editor. This indicates the days that the section is taught in a A/B schedule. This will come in handy when the student schedules are printed as it shows the student which days to attend class.
- The New A/B Section button (bottom) must be setup before any courses can be loaded. Once loaded, the title will display in the Master Schedule Editor DOW and DOW TITLE column.
- In the program Print Student Schedules, "Print A/B DOW Titles" must be checked for it to display on the student schedule.
