| Scheduling Tool Interface Control (SSACTRL) page / Main window | |
Use this section to enter or display Schedule25 parameters for the term and campus (if one is entered) specified in the key block.
Use a Go button function or select Processing Parameters from the Options Menu to access this section.
The Maintenance button allows you to copy all control file values from one effective term range to another or to terminate the term range. The term range represented on the page should be read as the From Term up to but not including the To Term (or the end of time if the To Term is displayed as 999999).
The Maintenance button is activated only when the term entered in the key block is between the from and to terms on the corresponding database record. Otherwise, the button is inactive. If you select the button when it is active, the Option List that is displayed allows you to copy control file parameters or end control file parameters.
For more information on how these control values influence the scheduling of classes, see the third party Schedule25 Processing Manual.
