Configure Advanced Features for Anthology Student

You can use the Advanced Features page to specify the advanced features for Anthology Student. Advanced Feature settings affect the way Anthology Student works. By default, these features are disabled.

Be cautious when using this feature:

• Enabling an advanced feature will force deprecation of forms in the legacy interface as the functionality will change significantly

• If you enable any advanced feature, you cannot disable it

Note:  The Anthology Student product interface previously called the "desktop client" is now referred to as the "legacy interface". The product interface previously called the "web client" is now the standard, default product interface and is no longer prefixed with "web client".

The course fulfillment orders you configure can then be selected when you configure program versions. If you select Yes, the Degree Progress Audit dialog in the legacy interface is disabled. You must use the Degree Progress Audit tile in the standard interface to work with the DPA for a student. If you select No, the system uses Default for all program versions. Enable Pool based Elective Pools Select Yes if you want to use the new feature in 21.1 and higher that lets you configure course pools. Once you have configured your pools, you can use the pools when you create a course list in the program version or area of study for elective and substitution pools.

Select No if you want to continue to manually create the elective and substitution pools by adding courses and course groups for each program version and area of study. Enable Rule Based Requirement Rules and Levels Select Yes if you want to enable the Advanced – Rule Based option in the Type list for requirement rules in version 21.1 or later.
