Intelli-Audit Formula Builder Tool

The Intelli-Audit formula builder features a list of courses available within the group. You can also “build” a course that does not yet exist. This course exists then only within this particular group. It never appears in the Master course table.

The formula is built using a series of logical operator input buttons (operators). These operators define relationships between the various courses and are defined below:

• AND – Joins one course to another.
• OR – Joins either one course OR another course.
• ( ) – Open and close parentheses define the list of courses available to select using the OR operator.
• n Credits From [list] – Defines the number of credits required from a specific list of courses.
• n Credits From [range] – Defines the number of credits required from a specific range of courses.
• Add – Inserts a course into the formula.
• Clear – Completely clears the formula.
• Undo – Removes formula elements one at a time in reverse order of entry.

Note: To ensure the structure of the formula is valid, operators automatically toggle between enabled/disabled as the formula is built. Enabled operators appear darker than disabled operators.

The Group Formula text box shows the formula as it is being built using the operators. No keyboard entries may be made into this text box. All entries must be made by clicking on the appropriate operators.

To build a formula:

The following steps are based on this example:

These courses are assigned to the Business Administration group:

1. From the Registration >Degree Audit >Degree Audit Setup >Groups tab, double-click the group for which you want to create the formula. A groups detail window appears.
2. Make sure the Populate Group Automatically option is set to "No". If this option is set to "Yes" you will not be able to use the Intelli-Audit tool.
3. Click the Group Formula button to access the Intelli-Audit Formula Builder form.
4. Click the down arrow in the Select Course In Group field to access a list of courses available within the group. Note that these courses must first be added to the group in order to be available in this field.
5. Select a course, and then click Add. The course displays in the Group Formula text box.
6. Click AND, then repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Click AND, then click (, then repeat steps 4 and 5.
8. Click OR, then repeat steps 4 and 5, then click ).
9. Click AND, then click n Credits From [list]. A dialog box appears with a message asking the number of credits required from the list.
10. Type the appropriate number of credits, then click OK.
11. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all classes have been added to the list.
12. When all classes have been added, click n Credits From [list] to complete this step. The formula now reads as follows: BUS110 AND BUS118 AND (BUS214 OR BUS220) AND 6 Credits From List [BUS301, BUS312, BUS326, BUS340]
13. Click Update to save the formula to this group.
