Area Group Attachment window

Use the Area Group Attachment window to attach groups to the area specified in the Key block of the main window.

You can attach either groups or course/attribute detail requirements to an area, but not both. If course/attribute detail requirements have been attached to an area, the Area Group Attachment window cannot be accessed for the area.

Fields	Descriptions
From Term	First term in which this set of group attachments is in effect. Display only.
To Term	Last term in which this set of group attachments is in effect. Display only.
Set	User-defined identifier for the set to which this requirement belongs, if applicable. The value can be alphanumeric, but must begin with an alpha character. See the “Sets and Subsets” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about sets and subsets.
Subset	User-defined identifier for the subset to which this requirement belongs, if applicable. The value must be a three-digit number. If only one or two digits are entered, the system inserts leading zeroes to cause the subset to sort properly.
Rule	User-defined identifier for the rule for this requirement, if applicable. The system does not validate codes entered in this field; you must therefore be careful not to use the same code for different rules within the same area. See the “Rules” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about rules. Select the Search button for this field to display the Area/Group Attachment Rules window. Edit Area/Group Attachment Rules window
Group	Code of the group being attached. Select the Search button for this field to display the Existing Group Inquiry (SMIGROP) page. List Existing Group Inquiry (SMIGROP) page
Course Re-Use	Specify the reuse rules for courses within the group. Valid options are None, In, Out and Both. None is the default. See the “Reuse” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about reuse in CAPP.
Attribute Re-Use	Specify the reuse rules for course attributes within the group. Valid options are None, In, Out and Both. None is the default.
Within Indicator	Check box used to indicate whether within reuse is allowed. When this check box is selected, different components of the same course (for example, the course itself and one of the course’s attributes) can both be used within the same group.
Year Rule	Number of years within which the course must be taken. When compliance is performed, the evaluation term is used to determine the term from which year rule limits are measured. A year rule can also be defined at the program, area, or group level. If a year rule is already in effect at a higher level, you can be more restrictive in the detail requirement, but you cannot be less restrictive at a lower level.
