Setting up preselection
System requirements
Subject rollover
Edit next year's subjects
Edit pre-selection grade/subject rules
Required packages are defined using the preseelection subject rules interface.
Subjects can be selected for grade/fee_status_type combinations with one of two flags applied: "is_required" and "is_approval_required". "Is_required" subjects will be automatically added once (as "locked") for any student in that particular grade/fee_status_type. As this happens, a PersonLog record "Preselection: Required courses added" is created with a six month expiration (so that the log does not need to be reset for the next school year). If this log record is present, the automatic addition of required subjects does not occur. This allows administration to remove required courses in exceptional circumstances when they are not applicable to a specific student.

Set the System Variable PRESELECTION_TIMETABLE_SPACE
Course counting is governed by a system variable PREREG_TIMETABLE_SPACE. This defines the maximum number of courses (subjects) that can be selected.
Set the System variable ACCEPTED_ACADEMIC_PRESELECTION_END
Future update: 22028 Preselection course counting and required packages
The student preselection page limits the students by counting the timetable space requirements of the selecter subjects and only allowing additional subjects to be selected if their space requirement is less than or equal to the difference between PREREG_TIMETABLE_SPACE and the sum of all subjects already selected.
The "number of selections page" (Pre-Selection: Academic Count) shows the student's fee status, the timetable space of their selections, and the date of their "Preselection: Required courses added" log record.
