2.2.2. Assigning Faculty on a Per Quarter Basis

The faculty assignment interface is very similar to the course assignment interface. To assign faculty for a schedule, the user selects the 'Assign Faculty' menu command. In response the system displays a screen of the form shown in figure 2.2.3-1.


Figure 2.2.3-1: Assign Faculty.



The upper combo-box will contain a listing of quarters which exist in the database. Upon selection of a quarter, the system displays a screen of the form shown in figure 2.2.3-2.

The left scroll list is populated from the faculty database that is copied when a new quarter is created. The right scroll window will contain a list (Roster) of faculty which have been added to a quarter. In figure 2.2.2-2, no faculty have yet been assigned to the faculty roster. To add to the roster, the admin selects a person from the left list and clicks the "Add" button which results in figure 2.2.3-3.

This process may be continued until all faculty for a particular quarter are added. If a person is accidentally added, they may be removed by selecting the person in the roster and then selecting the remove button. Once the user is finishing assigning faculty for a quarter, they can click the "Update" button to save their changes.
