Export (MSALGO)

Scheduling > Maintenance > MSALGO > Export

Master Schedule Algorithm (MSALGO) is used to help you create a master schedule. This page extracts all course records and student course requests for next year, and creates a matrix of conflicts and a list of requests for all courses. The export also extracts Scheduling options, such as grade level range, period range, and number of semesters to an MSALGO table. Existing information for the campus is deleted from the corresponding MSALGO table, and the new information is inserted into the table.

Match proxy courses are exported as the individual courses that make up the proxy.


Export data:

Overlay

The check boxes are enabled if there is already data in the corresponding MSALGO tables (i.e., if the data has already been exported for the campus). The boxes are disabled if you are running the export for the first time.

Select a check box to overlay the current options.

If a field is enabled, it must be selected; otherwise, the export will be canceled. However, the Course Section and Course Section Meeting fields fields do not need to be selected even if they are enabled. Do not select these fields if you want to keep any sections and meetings you have already placed in MSALGO, but want  to update the other information.


❏ Click Start.

A message is displayed when the export is successful.

If this is the first time running the export, the process may take a while depending on the number of student requests, and courses.


❏ Click Show Errors to view the error report. Review, save, or print the report.

IMPORTANT: Before you continue, use the error report to verify the following:

  • Courses on the error list will not be built. Check the list carefully.
  • Verify that courses excluded from the conflict matrix are correctly excluded.
  • Review all courses with no student course requests.
  • Verify that all courses have a period control number.
