Intelli-Audit Formula Builder Tool
The Intelli-Audit formula builder features a list of courses available
within the group. You can also “build” a course that does not yet exist.
This course exists then only within this particular group. It never appears
in the Master course table.
The formula is built using a series of logical operator input buttons
(operators). These operators define relationships between the various
courses and are defined below:
- AND – Joins
one course to another.
- OR – Joins
either one course OR another course.
- ( ) – Open
and close parentheses define the list of courses available to select
using the OR operator.
- n Credits From [list]
– Defines the number of credits required from a specific list of courses.
- n Credits From [range]
– Defines the number of credits required from a specific range of
courses.
- Add – Inserts
a course into the formula.
- Clear – Completely
clears the formula.
- Undo – Removes
formula elements one at a time in reverse order of entry.
Note: To
ensure the structure of the formula is valid, operators automatically
toggle between enabled/disabled as the formula is built. Enabled operators
appear darker than disabled operators.
The Group Formula text box shows the formula as it is being built using
the operators. No keyboard entries may be made into this text box. All
entries must be made by clicking on the appropriate operators.
To build a formula:
The following steps are based on this example:
These courses are assigned to the Business Administration group:
BUS110, BUS118, BUS214, BUS220, BUS238, BUS301, BUS312, BUS326,
BUS340, BUS410, BUS418, BUS432. A student may be required to successfully
complete BUS110 AND BUS118, AND either BUS214 OR BUS220, AND six credits
from the following list BUS301, BUS312, BUS326, BUS340.
- From the Registration
>Degree Audit >Degree Audit Setup >Groups tab, double-click
the group for which you want to create the formula. A groups detail

button to access the Intelli-Audit Formula Builder form.
- Click the down arrow in the Select Course In Group

- Click AND,
then click (, then repeat
steps 4 and 5.
- Click OR,

- Click AND,
then click n Credits From [list].
A dialog box appears with a message asking the number of credits required
from the list.
- Type the appropriate number of credits, then click
OK.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all classes have been added
to the list.
- When all classes have been added, click n
Credits From [list] to complete this step. The formula now
reads as follows: BUS110 AND BUS118
AND (BUS214 OR BUS220) AND 6 Credits From List [BUS301, BUS312, BUS326,
BUS340]
