Before PowerScheduler builds your master schedule, you must validate the information that was entered. The validation process finds any errors in your data, such as too many sections assigned to a teacher.
The system checks the following:
-
All courses selected as scheduled must be in the rank.
-
All courses assigned to teachers must be in the rank.
-
Each course has a room that will handle its capacity.
-
Student course requests have been dropped if a course is not scheduled.
The validation process also alerts you to potential problems, such as students with no scheduled course requests or a teacher who has more periods assigned than periods available.
Before validating your build scenario, confirm that the build parameters are correct. For more information, refer to Build Scenario Parameters.
