Overview
You may need to see a filtered list of courses when optimizing a term, say by subject. Filtering will narrow the data you are working with, making it easier to assign.
Mazévo has several built-in filter functions located under the Add Filter option at the top of the grid (the one that displays the list of courses).
How to add filters:
-
Press Add Filter.
-
Select appropriate filtering options (see descriptions below).
-
Press Apply.
To change a filter, press Change Filter.
To remove all filters, press Remove Filters. You can remove individual filters by pressing the 'x' at the end of each filter chip.
Filters Available
Campus Code - If your system uses campus codes, this filter will be displayed.
Subject - This filter limits the list of courses to the selected subject codes.
Instructor - This filter limits the list of courses to courses taught by the selected Instructors.
State - This filter limits the list of courses to the selected processing state(s).
Days of Week- This filter limits the list of courses to the selected Days of Week.
Start Times- This filter limits the list of courses to the selected start time(s).
Back To Back - This will filter the list of courses to back-to-back classes only. Back-to-back courses have the same instructor, days of the week, start time, and end time, and their start time is within 10 minutes of the previous course's end time. Mazévo optimizer will try to assign back-to-back classes to the same room.
Notes - This filters the list of courses where the instructor has notes defined. You can enter notes for any instructor to notate room preferences or special needs.
Match - This filter can find courses that match dates, times, and instructors. These courses may need to use the same room (Meets Together, Shared Room). Using this filter makes it easy to locate potential candidates for sharing space.
Conflict - This filter can locate courses that have room conflicts with other courses (based on the SIS room). The system also displays a warning system in the SIS room column for a course with a conflict.
Pattern - This will filter courses with (or without) standard meeting times. The pattern filters will only display if standard meeting patterns are defined.
New Room - When assigning rooms, limiting the list of courses to those with or without a new room assignment may be desirable.
SIS Room - This filter is useful when courses are imported from the SIS that do not have preassigned rooms (as set in the SIS). For example, you can use this filter to select all courses with a preassigned room and then use the Assign SIS Room function. Assigning the SIS room to a course tells the optimizer to exclude that course from the optimization process.
Linked/Shares Room - Limits the list of courses to cross-listed courses and courses that share a room with another course.
