This tab allows you to set up normal, control, and match proxies. A proxy is a group of courses that the system treats as a special type of course record. A proxy contains the ID numbers of courses that are frequently requested by students as a group. When student course requests are entered, the proxy is entered instead of the individual courses.
Match Proxy Example:
| Course | Section | Semester | Course | Section | Semester |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Government | 01 | 1 | Economics | 01 | 2 |
| Government | 02 | 1 | Economics | 02 | 2 |
| Government | 03 | 2 | Economics | 03 | 1 |

or descending
order.
Click +Add in the top grid to add a new proxy. The fields in the free-form area below the grid are enabled.

In the Proxy field, type the proxy number that identifies the proxy. The field is four digits. The number cannot be the same as a valid course number.
Note: If you have chosen to change the course number length on the Maintenance > Master Schedule > District > District Control tab, a crosswalk is created and the New Proxy field displays the new zero padded proxy next to the old proxy.

In the + field next to the Pregrid Restriction field, click to select the number of additional grade levels for which you want the proxy to be added to the student's course requests. For example, if the proxy is for students in 7th and 8th grades, select 07 in the Pregrid Restriction field, and type 1 in the + field.
If you select Match, the following fields are displayed:

You will not be able to add the match proxy for students who fall outside of this grade level range.
