Preferences Overview

Select Preferences for the Ranked Assignment Batch

Using the Preferences tab, an administrator can select the Preferences used in the ranked assignment batch. The batch will still use the preferences selected in the Configuring Building Preferences step. However, out of all of the preferences a patron may select, the ranked assignment batch will only incorporate preferences for any buildings selected on the Preference tab. These selections act as a filter for all possible preferences.
