Section type error in powerscheduler

sponte — Mon, 22 May 2023 15:59:57 GMT

As in the past, I am using section types to schedule special ed students into substantially separate programs. These are the only students that will load. All of my other students get the Data Error Student xxxxxxx, xxxxxx (xxxxx) is incompatible with the primary or an alternate on request for course 7030 with section type (null). This happening on all course that have "use section types checked". Looking for suggestions.

Hi @sponte,

Can we please confirm if this is due to Student Free Constraints? For example, if a student already has a class for the 1st period and they have requested another course that is available 1st period only. This could create an error.

Hello Sponte,

Did you ever get this resolved?

This error was not there yesterday for me and now it's here today.

I'm hoping you got this resolved. The students have section types on their requests, the sections have section types and there are no student free constraints in our situation.

Hello,

Was this issue ever resolved? My district is currently running into this error at about 5 or 6 of our school sites. The sites having the error are not using section types, either.
