Before performing the Manual Slot in, you need to know on WHY you use highlight. Highlight is used to locate the slot of the batch and to avoid clashing when doing the manual allocation.

There are 3 important highlighting to prevent clashing:

  • Batch Grouping
  • Lecturers
  • Students No Conflict Sections (Only apply if there are processed student at Student Enrolment tab under Data tab)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please clear all highlights before proceed to highlight below. You will learn to Clear Highlight at the last part of this subchapter.
