Assignment Maximum Overview

Select Assignment Maximum for the Ranked Assignment Batch

After selecting Preferences for a ranked assignment batch, use the following procedure to select an assignment maximum for the batch from the Assignment Maximum tab of the Automatic Assignment page:

1.  Select Automatic Assignment from the Assignment section of the Patron menu. The List of Assignment Batches grid is displayed in the Search tab on the Automatic Assignment page.

2.  If necessary, search for an assignment batch.

3.  Click Select on the desired ranked assignment batch, and then select the Assignment Maximum tab.

4.  In the drop-down menu, select the Assignment Maximum configured for the ranked assignment batch.

5.  The Assignment Maximum’s facilities will be displayed in the List of Assignment Max Rules grid. For each entry, the facility’s Gender and candidate space Limit is listed.

Note: If there are more patrons in the batch than spaces available, a random selection of patrons will be removed so that the number of patrons will match the number of spaces available. The batch will then run, and any removed patrons will be “failed” for the ranked assignment batch.

6.  After selecting an assignment maximum, continue by configuring options for the ranked assignment batch.
