Defining Entity Groups for Use in Requisites (Optional)

This section discusses how to define entity groups for use in enrollment requisites.

Entity groups are similar items (programs, plans, subplans, or student groups) that are grouped together to be used in a condition. An example is that you have a requisite for a course that states a student must be enrolled in one of five plans to enroll in the course. To make this a simple condition, the five plans are placed into an entity group. When the condition is defined, it states that academic plans must be in the entity group. This allows for many similar objects to be grouped together for comparison.
