- 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.

Other Changes

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

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.
