Exclusions in Ad Astra Apps

Exclusions remove a set of courses, sections, or section meetings from the platform. These settings allow you to create, configure, and remove exclusions. 

To view and/or edit exclusions, go to the ‘Settings’ link in the bottom left hand panel. All users can view the list of exclusions and admin users can update exclusions.

Select the Exclusions category on the left sidebar or by using the search bar. A list of current exclusions will appear (if applicable).

To add a new exclusion, use the ‘Add Exclusion’ button. There are three types of exclusions: Course, Section, Section Meeting.

Once an exclusion type has been selected, use the drop-down list to select an applicable field for that exclusion type.

Users can select which operator fits their needs. If ‘Expression’ is selected, users will need to enter a regular expression. 

Using the "Add Fields" button, multiple fields can be added to an exclusion. Courses, sections, section meetings will need to meet the requirements of all fields of the exclusion to be excluded from the platform.

Faculty Exclusions

Faculty Exclusions remove section assignments from the Faculty App as well as the Faculty Assignment Report. The Faculty App does not inherit any platform level exclusions which are set in the 'Exclusions' tab. Only Admins have the ability to add and/or remove Faculty Exclusions. 

To add a new Faculty Exclusion, click the "Add Exclusion" button. Then select "Faculty Section Assignments" for your exclusion type.  

Use the drop-down list to select an applicable field for that exclusion type. Users can select which operator fits their needs. If ‘Expression’ is selected, users will need to enter a regular expression. 

Using the "Add Fields" button, multiple fields can be added to an exclusion. Faculty Section Assignments will need to meet the requirements of all fields of the exclusion to be excluded from the Faculty App.
