How to display your units in the Student's Course Plan screen

Given all the introductions about the Course Outline User Interface from the 1. Course Outline Basics page, all the units (constraints) when coded under the Courses > Outline page, will have some of the possible Display Code values (as shown in the screenshot below).

Open

^{Student Course Plan Grid Positions: Possible Display Code Values}

Example

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); the two units highlighted in RED below show their grid positions.

While for you as an administrator, under the Course Outlines Screen (Courses > Outline) view, you can see this (see Screenshot 2) for a course that has already an existing outline; and

a screen like below (see Screenshot 3) for a course that has no outline yet.

Now, if you have noticed, on 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 want the scheduled unit or subject to be displayed on the student Course Plan 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…(as shown in the first image above this page), so for the unit name ID BEM1001 (A1), it appears on the Stage 1 column in the first row of the student course plan’s table, and BEM1002 (B2) on Stage 2 column row 2 (as shown in the student _{Screenshot 1: Student Course Plan View} above, highlighted in RED, and expanded in the below screenshot).
