Section Info (Resource Allocator)
Scheduling > Maintenance > Master Schedule Generator > Resource Allocator > Section Info
This tab allows you to set up resource sections.
Each course must be defined prior to running the TxEIS master schedule generator.
Add data:
- Existing sections are displayed in order by instructor ID. The list can be re-sorted.
- If more sections are retrieved than can be displayed on one page, you can page through the list.
- Click
in the upper grid to add sections to an existing course. - Or, click +Add to add a course and sections.
The fields in the free-form area below the grid are enabled.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Crs Nbr |
Click The course name is displayed in the Title field. The field cannot be updated once the record is saved. |
| From Sec To Sec |
Type the beginning and ending sections for the range of sections to be generated (01-99). Each unique section of a course that is generated must be identified by a section number. When the Resource Allocator Record Creation utility is run, the From Sec and To Sec fields are determined by dividing the number of requests by the number of seats per class (i.e., the Max Seats field on Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus > Courses). Instead of rounding when calculating the number of sections, a sufficient number of sections is created to fill every request. |
| Max Seats |
Type the number of students who can be scheduled into each section per semester, up to three digits. |
| Priority |
Select the class generation priority that the resource course will have during master schedule generation. The priority values are 1-9, where 1 has the highest priority and 9 has the lowest. The default value is 5. |
| Restr Type |
Select the code indicating if the restrictions always apply (i.e., fixed) or can be overridden (i.e., selectable) by the user. This field applies to the other restriction fields for this course-section (gender, team, and grade level). The field is only used if you are using one or more restriction fields (i.e., Gender, Team, or Grade). If there are any restrictions, the field is required. |
| Gender |
Select a gender if the section is restricted to one gender. |
| Team |
(Optional) If you are using Team Code, select a team code if you want to restrict section membership to a certain group or team of students. Team codes are established on Maintenance > Team Code. |
| Grade |
If there are grade level restrictions for the course-section, select the lowest grade level allowed. On the Resource Allocator Section Info tab, the + field is named Addl. |
| Department |
Select the code indicating the academic department with which the course is associated. Department codes are established on Maintenance > Master Schedule Generator > Tables > Departments. |
| Subj Area |
Select the code indicating the academic area with which the course is associated. Subject area codes are established on Maintenance > Master Schedule Generator > Tables > Subject Areas. |

The number of semesters for the course is displayed (from the Nbr Sem field on Maintenance > Master Schedule > District > Courses). |
| Dist Per Ctrl |
