Overview
Grid Positioning
In the Student Course Enrolment Screen (Student > Summary (enrolled course loaded) > Course Enrolment > Course Plan) view, students can see all the units available for them to complete their course in table format (as shown in the sample screenshot below);
While for you as an administrator, under the Course Outlines Screen (Courses > course to be outlines loaded > Outline) view, you can see this (see sample screenshot below) for a course which has already an existing outline; and
a screen like below (see sample screenshot below) for a course which has no outline yet.
Now, if you have noticed, in your screen as an administrator, you will see a column name called Display Code with the sample values of A1, B2, A3, etc. This would indicate where you would want the scheduled unit or subject to be displayed on the student screen page. This works like the table in EXCEL spreadsheets: A would mean the column called Stage 1 in the student screen screenshot above, B on Stage 2, so on and so forth…, and the number 1 would indicate the row number so 1 in row 1, 2 in row 2, so on and so forth…, so for the unit name ID BEM1001 (A1), it appears on the Stage 1 column in the first row of the student course plan table, and BEM1002 (B2) on Stage 2 column row 2 (as shown in the student screen screenshot above, highlighted in RED).
