  • At any time deemed necessary for whatever reason.

This job is run prior to examination periods to provide information used to:

  • Print draft copies of exam timetables.

  • Print final versions of the examination timetable.

This job can be run in both batch and online modes. Refer to the Job Control and Scheduling subsystem for details on scheduling and running batch and online jobs.

 

Job Parameters

Most parameters for this job are used to refine the data set produced in the report.

The report can be run for both DRAFT and FINAL examination timetables.

Select whether or not to include:

  • Examination Venue details.
  • Number of Students; and
  • On-campus Locations Only.

The "NONCENTRAL" Location/Venue Override Text parameter allows the recording of a short message directing the student to the notes. For example: a faculty is linked to the noncentral location. However, the exam is being managed by the unit chair. A note can be recorded informing the student who their contact person is. A message can be recorded here telling the student to refer to notes for further details.

There are two free text parameters available - Notes 1 and Notes 2. These parameters have default text messages inserted where no additions are entered. Text messages can be recorded in the Maintain Job Text form (JBSF4170).

The Sessions to Include parameter allows the report to be run for:

  • All sessions.
  • Special sessions only; or
  • Standard sessions only.

NOTE: unit offering option details are suppressed except where differing offering options have different exam requirements.

There are several sort combinations that can be selected from the LOV.

The report is presented in landscape mode.

Note: where venue sessions have been split for several different sessions, a note should be recorded and inserted as one of the two text fields providing students with instructions on where to find further information (see report sample).

Occasionally, red flags may appear at the end of a row. These flags are S and TD. The S indicates that the exam is a Special examination. The TD indicates Timeslot Duration and therefore the exam is a serial examination (see report sample).
