Rule-Based Concentrations window

You can access this window using the Rule-Based Concentrations section. The window is accessible regardless of how the radio group for Attach Concentrations to Majors on the Curriculum Control (SOACTRL) page has been set. The base rule information is displayed at the top of the window.

You can copy concentration rules to a new effective term or end them as of a given term. The message No Effective Terms Found appears in the window until at least one record is added for an initial term range (e.g., 199501 - 999999). If the record is copied or ended, creating multiple effective term records (e.g., 199501 - 199601 and 199601 - 999999), the message Multiple Effective Terms Present will display in the window. A List function from the From Term field will display the concentration rule effective terms which exist. When attempting to copy or end a rule, the list of terms presented will not include terms which have already been used for copying or ending.

The system will interpret a window without data as an indicator that all concentrations are valid for the rule. To specify that no concentrations are valid, a value (e.g., XCON - No Concentrations Valid) should be created on the Major, Minor, Concentration Code Validation (STVMAJR) page and entered in this window for the rule.
