What are Tracks?

Tracks are alternative program specializations.

A student must pass the main part of the program and one of the tracks.


Setting up Tracks in Programs

To set up the track list in a program open the Program "Name" page and navigate to the Details → Tracks → Edit tab.

On the Tracks panel, you can change the names of the tracks, delete them using the Delete action, or add them using the Add New Track button.

Note: The track name must be unique within a program:



To set up the list of courses in the individual track open the Program "Name" page and go to the Courses → Current → Assign/Unassign tab.

On the Courses panel in the Track column, you can select the appropriate course for the specific track.


As shown below, it is also possible to change the appropriate track for a specific course:



Note: When adding courses to tracks you should note the following:

  • A course can be assigned to only one track or exist outside the tracks.
  • The substitute courses must be contained within a single track or exist outside the tracks.
  • Course hours must be equal between the tracks. If they are not equal the cells with hours are highlighted red and an error message is displayed.

Other Changes


Courses List Display


The courses list at the Group "Name": Education Group Details page and Program "Name" page → Courses tab is now not divided by courses types and is shown as a full list. The total values for all the types of courses are moved to the end of the panel.

Students Chosen Programs Display


At the Chosen Program field under the program title, you can now see the names of the tracks where a student is assigned to the full set of courses:



Searching Students by Tracks


At the student search pages (e.g., the Leads & Students page) the Chosen Program search parameter is renamed to the Chosen Program & Tracks.

This allows searching students by tracks and searching the students without tracks:


The tracks in the Chosen Program & Tracks search parameter are divided into the following:

  • Current Tracks — the tracks that exist both in a program and a group.
  • Old Tracks —  the tracks that exist in a group but not in a program.
