[LON-CAPA-users] Trouble creating slots via csv

[Jon Hall]

So the import from csv works, but the implementation does not seem to work. 

In other words, when I open the slot manager, the slot shows up with the section restrictions as per my csv, but the restricted slots are restricted from all students, even those in the section specified for that slot.

For example, students in section 3 can only see slots with no section restrictions on them, but they cannot see the slots which are specifically set up as reserved for students in section 3. And that is true regardless of the section.

Unless I am doing something wrong, or misunderstanding the way the slots work. Which is always a possibility.

Best,
Jon Hall
