- Click “Add”
- On the Enrollment Group Definition screen enter an effective date of the enrollment group. This enrollment group will only affect job data changes which occur on or after the effective date.
- Enter a Description.
- The description must begin with the campus identifier used in the group name, followed by any description that is useful to the campus.
- Use the lookup field to select the appropriate query.
