Use the Conflict Matrix

The Conflict Matrix shows a grid of the numbers of students who have requests for the same two courses. This number appears at the course intersection. Click it to see a list of students who requested both courses.

You can select what courses to show in the Conflict Matrix, such as by department or grade level. One reason for students being listed in the matrix is if one or both courses have only a single section available.

To use the Conflict Matrix:

  1. Log on to the Build view.
  2. Click the Workspace tab, Conflict Matrix side-tab.
  3. In the Course(s) section, select one of the following:
    • Selection
    • Department
    • Grade level
    • Maximum sections
  1. Do one of the following:
    • If you selected Selection, Department or Grade level, use the pick list that appears to select one or more courses, departments or grade levels respectively, and click OK.
    • If you selected Maximum sections, enter the number of sections you want to set as the maximum to appear in the Conflict Matrix, and click Submit. Only courses with up to this value appear.

  1. At the intersection of two courses you want to see a student list for, click the number.
  2. Under the Conflict Matrix side-tab, click Students to see their names.

  1. Click a student's name to open their schedule.
  2. Make changes to the requests to fix the conflict.
