Course Group Setup

You may choose to categorize your courses in the course list with the GroupOption INI setting.

  • GroupOption=0 - All courses are displayed in one long list on the course screen.  Grouping codes set on the Course Main tab are ignored.

  • *GroupOption=1 (default) - The course screen displays a list of active course groups taken from the Grouping codes added to the course records.  Clicking on a group name brings up the list of courses which have that grouping code assigned.  

To utilize Group Option 1:

  1. Create Grouping codes and enter the description you want displayed in the course listing.  The codes should be set to display on ACEweb.
  2. Assign the code to all courses that should be displayed in this group.
  • *GroupOption=2 - The course screen displays a table of major groups.  Clicking one of them brings up a list of its subgroups.  Clicking on a subgroup name then lists the courses for the subgroup.  

To utilize Group Option 2:

  1. Create Major Grouping codes that consist of a period (e.g.  .COM for the Computer Courses Major category). The codes should be set to display on ACEweb.
  2. Create Minor Grouping Codes with the same first 3 characters (AFTER the period) as the Major Grouping Code, followed by 3 unique characters to designate the subgroup (e.g.  COMBAS for Basic Computer Courses).  The codes should be set to display on ACEweb.
  3. Add the Minor Grouping Code to all courses that should be displayed in the group.

*Courses with no grouping codes assigned will only display in the All Courses listing.
