Overview

If you have existing Course Outlines with almost or exactly the same scheduled units and outline rules as the Course Outline that you are about to make, then this Paradigm feature will address that concern, saving you the time to create Course Outlines from scratch. The workflow below will guide you on how to copy the outline rules you’ve set from your previous courses and copy them to your newly offered courses. It is highly advised that you will still do due diligence, making sure that all the scheduled units and rules apply to your newly created Course Outline.

Workflow

STEP 1 Load the Base Course Record with the Outline Rules that you want to copy. e.g. you want to copy the outline rules from your BAAcc (Bachelor of Accounting) course to your newly offered course which is the BBis (Bachelor of Business). In this case, you load the BAAcc (Bachelor of Accounting) course.

1 Refer to the instructions on this link on how to load a course record: https://silverband.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PKB/pages/985094/Courses+-+Search+Add+and+Edit#01.-How-to-search-for-a-Course-Record.

2 Once the Base Course record is loaded, choose Courses > Outline menus on the side. This will open the COURSE OUTLINE page.

3 Select all the applicable rules or scheduled units from that course that you want to copy, check the top most checkbox ☑ if you want to copy all (as shown in the screenshot above)

4 After selecting the outline rules that you want to copy, scroll down and click the Copy Selected Constraints to the following Course dropdown menu. Select the course where you want the outline rules to be copied. e.g. you want to copy the outline rules from your BAAcc (Bachelor of Accounting) course to your newly offered course which is the BBis (Bachelor of Business). In this case, BBis (Bachelor of Business) is selected.

5 With the Course where the outline rules are to be copied selected, click the COPY SELECTED CONSTRAINTS button.

6 A SUCCESS message will appear on top of the screen, notifying you that statuses of your action.

7 Check if the outline rules are now copied to the Base Course that you want them copied. e.g. following the same scenario as above, we’ll load the BBis (Bachelor of Business) course.
