After defining optimisation type , optimisation settings and weighting parameters , start optimisation by clicking on <OK>..
Use the <Abort optimisation> button to terminate optimisation Depending on the processing step currently in progress it may take a short time before optimisation can be completely cancelled. If cluster periods are displayed, the interim optimisation result will be retained even in the event of cancellation.
You can view and edit the results of optimisation in the student-course-choice window or in the course-cluster-matrix .
Note: Existing course selections
Course choices already made can influence the results of optimisation since they are used as the basis in the search for new solutions. Provided course choices are not locked, they might very well be changed during optimisation.
Two examples are illustrated below:
