Glossary Messages

Glossary Message Type	What is it?	Who Uses it?	Examples/Matching
Alternate Course (or Acourse, Alt Course)	An identity for a course to help it meet a requirement on an audit -Looks at rules for Acourses that  contain an Acourse message ID -Case-sensitive; uAchieve/DARwin settings determine the case	DARwin and uAchieve users	An Acourse message with an ID of ENGL1 would match a rule Acourse value of: ENGL1 ENGL10 ENGL109 It would  not match a rule Acourse value of: ENGL The most specific check applies--we use the most specific Acourse message that matches each Acourse on the rule. For an Acourse message with an ID of ENGL10, we would use that message instead of the ENGL1 for ENGL10 and ENGL109 from the example above.
DPMask (or degree program mask)	Displays transfer rules, usually based upon majors -Only shown in the Transferology Lab (Transfer To page and the popover that displays a rule created from a TES request) -Looks at DPMask message IDs to see if they  contain the DPMask on a rule -Case-sensitive; uAchieve/DARwin settings determine the case	DARwin and uAchieve users	A DPMask message with an ID of ENGR would match a rule with a DPMask value of: ENG ENGR The most specific check applies--we use the most specific DPMask message that matches each DPMask on the rule.
IFlag (or Iflg, institution flag)	An identify for a course to help it meet a requirement on an audit -Looks for rules for IFlags that  equal an IFlag message ID -Case-sensitive; uAchieve/DARwin settings determine the case	DARwin and uAchieve users	An IFlag message with an ID of GOAL1 would match a rule IFlag value of: GOAL1 It would  not match a rule IFlag value of: GOAL GOAL11 The most specific check applies--we use the most specific IFlag message that matches each IFlag on the rule.
Target Course*   * TES equivalencies only use Target Course Glossary Messages	Course the student receives as transfer credit -Looks at rules for Target Courses that  contain a Target Course message ID. We remove all spaces and asterisks (*) from the Target Course and Target Course message ID before comparing them. -Case-insensitive	All users	A Target Course message with an ID of MATH*** would match any rule with a Target Course in the MATH department. The most specific check applies--we use the most specific Target Course message that matches each Target Course on the rule. For a Target Course message with MATH2 as the ID, any 200-level MATH Target Courses would show that message instead of the MATH*** one from the example above. Other Target Courses would still match the MATH*** message.   New in 1.9.1 Exact Match Target Course New option to select for exact matches on the Target Course value
