Guidelines for Load Validation

When you use Anthology Student to perform load validations for the work load of faculty members, consider the following guidelines.

View Load

The Job Results grid on the History tab under Processes >  Faculty Workload > Load Validations displays a View Load pop-up when you select the link in the column View Load Select the View load link to view and edit available values. This link is visible only for the Failed or Passed Load Validation Status. For any changes made to the pop-up, Anthology Student reflects in the View loads section of the Assignment Manager..

Note: Use the Faculty Workload Management.Grant Overrides permission to control the access to manual overrides within the security console. Those with the permission should be able to grant overrides, while those without this permission can still process load validations but can't override loads when overrides are in use. Unless an override is used, this permission is not relevant.

For the Failed assignment of the processed batch, the Temporary Assigned and Temporary Overload Value column is displayed with hypothetical values in the View Load pop-up. The values in Assigned and Overload Assigned columns will be 0. Any changes made to the pop-up will reflect in the View Loads section of the Assignment Manager (Select the Processes tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Assignment Manager.).

If you edit values in the View Load pop-up, Anthology Student displays message to requeue or re-validate the assignment.

If Contribution is enabled, the View Load pop-up will be enabled and you can enter a value in Contribution Percentage field and select Recalculate Load to view the modified contributions.

Note: Anthology Student displays the information below in the View Load pop-up to view the modified contribution. Select Recalculate Loads to view the latest load values for modified contributions.

Temporary Assigned and Temporary Overload Value fields hold the hypothetical assigned values used in the evaluation and with which the load validation failed. If the Load Type has the Allow Override, load track, and pay track turned on, you can edit Temporary Assigned.

Column value calculation:

• Consumed Value = sum of Assigned Value, Overload Value, Temporary Assigned, Temporary Overload value for the particular activity irrespective of the assignment status

• Remaining value = Default Value – Consumed Value (if the load factor is not associated with the Activity)

• Remaining Value = Adjusted Default Value – Consumed Value (if the load factor is associated with the Activity)

• The max value that the Temporary Assigned can take is the sum of Remaining Value, Temporary Assigned, Temporary Overload Value

The values will be adjusted on closing and reopening of the View Load pop-up. The latest values updated will be considered for requeue.

Once the load validation is passed, Anthology Student populates the Assigned and Overload Assigned values with actual values. The Temporary Assigned and Temporary Overload Assigned values will be set to 0.

On requeue of the Assignment, the Temporary assigned and Temporary Overload Assigned will be aggregated and used as Assigned Value to re-validate failed assignments.

Assigned Value/Contribution

Anthology Student equally distributes the assigned value/contribution with the assignments and in case any assigned value/contribution needs to be rounded, it is added to the last assignment. For example, if four assignments have an assigned value/contribution distributed and there is 0.1 which needs to be rounded, this value will be added to the last assignment.

If the contribution is defined for an assignment, Anthology Student ignores the equal distribution logic. For example, if there are four assignments in which one of the assignment's contribution is defined, Anthology Student uses the defined contribution value for that assignment and equally distributes the remaining contribution between the other three assignments. In case any rounding is required, it is added to the last assignment.
