3. How to Input Data?

3.4. Step 4


Merge

After assigning courses and lecturers in Step 3, the next step is to merge subgroups that should be taught together at the same time.

This is especially useful when:

  • Different groups are taking the same course under the same lecturer.

  • Different course codes exist but the course name is the same, and they are taught together in the same session.


Merging Subgroups

  1. Still in the Subgroup List tab, locate the subgroup you want to merge.

  2. Click on the magnifying glass icon next to the subgroup.

  3. You will be redirected to the Subgroup Details page.


Using the Merge Group Tab

  1. On the same page, go to the Merge Group tab.

  2. Under Merge Course, click the dropdown button and select the course(s) you want to merge.

  3. Under Class Type, click the dropdown button and select the appropriate class type.


Assigning Subgroups to Merge

Below the dropdowns, you will see two boxes:


       

  • Left Box (Assigned Merge Group):

    • Displays subgroups already merged.

    • Use the Search field to find and remove subgroups.

  • Right Box (Unassigned Merge Group):

    • Displays available subgroups for merging.

    • Use the Search field to find and assign subgroups.


Steps to Assign/Remove Subgroups:

  1. To Assign a Subgroup:

    • In the Right Box (Unassigned), search for the subgroup.

    • Click the subgroup name until it highlighted in blue.

    • Click Add — the subgroup will immediately move to the Assigned Merge Group (Left Box).

  2. To Remove a Subgroup:

    • In the Left Box (Assigned), search for the subgroup.

    • Click the subgroup name until it highlighted in blue.

    • Click Remove — the subgroup will immediately return to the Unassigned Merge Group (Right Box).

Confirmation:

  • Changes apply automatically when you click Add or Remove.

  • Verify the Left Box contains only the subgroups you intend to merge.

Example of Merging

  • Courses with the following codes can be merged:

    • BBA5033 – Prinsip Pemasaran

    • SM6183 – Prinsip Pemasaran

  • Even though the course codes are different, the course name is the same, and both belong to Group 1, so they can be merged.

Reminder: Merging ensures that students from different groups but with the same subject will attend the class at the same time under the same lecturer, avoiding duplicate scheduling.

Note:

Do not merge groups if:

  • They have different lecturers.

  • They have different learning outcomes or syllabus coverage.

  • The subject name is similar but the content/structure differs.
