Filter Courses

Undo and Redo

When working with the Visual Scheduler, you may want to undo something you've done. Then again, you may undo an action and then decide you need to redo that action.

Using the Undo and Redo buttons, the following actions can be modified:

• Moving a Course from the Courses Panel to the Master Schedule Grid
• Editing Section Information
• Deleting a Section From the Master Schedule Grid
• Moving a Section

Note: The Undo and Redo buttons appear shaded until an action is performed.

Note: Deleting a section from the master schedule grid using the Undo button results in all enrollment records associated with the section being permanently deleted. Using the Redo button will recreate the section, but not the enrollment records.

Note: Once you refresh the page or navigate to another page, actions cannot be undone or redone.
