Population Selection

Population selection is a method for selecting the IDs to process for a specific transaction. Selection tools are available based on the selection tools that your institution selected in the setup of the Population Selection process for the application process and on your user security. Fields in the group box appear based on the selection tool that you select. If your institution uses a specific delivered selection tool (PS Query, Equation Engine equation, or external file) to identify IDs for a specific transaction, you must use it.

See Campus Community Fundamentals: Using the Population Selection Process.

Selection Tool	Select one of these values: Equation Engine, PS Query, or External File. Additional parameters appear for your selected tool.
