Description

Use the AutoAllocationType configuration setting to define automatic school house allocation for current students.

Default value

The default value is Blank.

Available options:

• S - Assign the student to the same house as their current student sibling.
  
  Note: This assignment is based only on a current sibling with a relationship of Brother or Sister.
  
  

• P - Assign the student to the same house as their past student sibling.
  
  Note: This assignment is based on a Past sibling or parent with a relationship to the current student of Brother, Sister, Mother or Father.
  
  

• B - Balance student numbers by campus/year level/house/gender.
  
  Note: This option places the new student into the house with the lowest count (by campus/year/gender) and does not change or re-balance existing allocations.
