Exam Creation – Add Earliest Session Creation Option for Banner Schools
The Lynx exams creation process is problematic for us as we have many, many MMPs and BGs. This is because the secondary meeting patterns are also assigned exam rooms and do not need them. For example, MMP sections with two meeting patterns where the primary is the lecture and the secondary is the lab, where the lab is assigned an exam and does not offer an exam.
This process requires us to remove the extra exam room assignments by hand, to avoid confusion, and to ensure that rooms are available for the primary lectures in all time blocks.
What seems as though it would work for us is if the Lynx Banner had an option to Limit Exams for Multiple Meeting Patterns as is given to Colleague and Universal schools to create exams for the earliest session.

Sarah BarberCan we also have an option to not include Cancelled sections or only include active sections in the extract criteria as well?

Pamela MasonThere is currently a way to exclude by Meeting Pattern Type. We currently do this in the situation given and it works well. However, we have courses that are MMP for the Lectures. This is because there are multiple locations needed for the same same meeting pattern or because when the Section meets varies enough it cannot be done in one meeting patterns.
An option that after excluding meeting pattern types if there are still more than 1 meeting pattern use the one with the most occurrences, would help with some of these Sections.
An option to use Schedule Code on MMP Sections that allows us to set which meeting pattern in Banner to use for the Exam creation. It should work along in conjunction with the Meeting Pattern Type exclusion.
On a Final Exam Data Set have a screen to work with MMP Sections. It would show all of the Sections and their Meeting Patterns that would create multiple Exams. Then allow you to select the Meeting Pattern you want it to use for the Exam creation. -

Pamela LauPSCC has the same issue on some classes having 2 different class meeting patterns lecture and lab. Lecture has the exam, but we don't want the lab part to have exam. If it prevents another class from having exam, I'll remove the not needed exam. For classes that are lab only, I can exclude them but putting them in their own Import section that does not have exams. If I could put COLL 1000 (and other Subject/Course) that do not have exams in their own extraction set that might help also.
I would like to be able to exclude certain subject AND course combination. For example COLL 1500 does have exams, however, COLL 1000 do NOT have exams. So all 200 classes have to be manually removed/deleted. There are to many to enter in individual CRN numbers to exclude. I can't exclude all COLL because of the above issue. -

TammyBecause this issue has not been addressed yet, and because we have loads of MMPs with a lecture/lab combination, creating final exams with Lynx is nearly useless. There isn't any clean way to discard the extraneous exams. Manually removing locations from segments is painful and results in false missing space reports. We would really, really appreciate some movement on this request.
