Request Conflicts Report

Tool Search: Request Conflicts

The Request Conflicts Report provides a list of courses that have scheduling issues with another course when a student has requested both courses and how many student requests are in conflict. The report displays course pairs where a student has requested both courses.

Report Logic

The Request Conflicts Report uses entered student requests to determine where that student may have a potential scheduling conflict. Courses considered required that meet every period display on the report as conflicting with every other course.

This report only looks for sections already placed on the Master Schedule, not the Sections to Build value.

Report Editor

The following defines the report options available on the Report Editor.

Field

Description

Limit Courses

Selection limits report results to the option selected, as follows:

  • Any Number of Sections
  • Singletons (1 section)
  • 2 sections or less
  • 3 sections or less
  • 4 sections or less

When Any Number of Sections is selected, all potential course request conflicts are listed, regardless of how many sections exist.


When any other Limit Courses options are selected, the Limit Courses logic applies to both sides of the comparison courses when looking for conflicts, not just the department or courses of focus in the department or Courses selections.

  • When Singletons is selected, only courses with one section are listed.
  • When 2, 3, or 4 sections or less is selected, only courses with that number of sections or fewer sections are listed.

Department

Selection returns course information for courses assigned to the selected department. If departments are not assigned to courses (created in System Administration on the Departments tool and assigned on the Course editor), select courses instead.

Either select a Department or a Course.

Courses

Selection returns course conflicts for the selected courses only.

Either select a Course or a Department.

Report Generation

Two buttons are available for report generation:
