Figure 5iii. Component Group Rule
Multi-select Components that must be completed for an Award to be achieved.
NOTE: the Component Count isn’t specific to a Component, but rather the number of Components from a Component Group.
Relationships Between Multiple Rule Types
An award can be achieved when one or more rules have been met.
If you have multiple rules set-up, you can create relationships between them that solely consist of:
- AND statements
- OR statements
- AND/OR combination statements
- These are complex, custom relationships
NOTE:
- Once you select the “Custom” option, you should establish rule relationships using the “Completion Formula” field:
Figure 6i. Establish Rule Relationships
Use parentheses (brackets) within the Completion Formula, where possible.
Modify Award Rules
You can edit existing rules or add new rules, only if the Award has not been issued to a Student.
