All class lists and timetable entries existing in CESIS in the date range below will be changed to match what is in Edval.

   How far to sync the timetable to CESIS by adjusting/selecting the date.

   This is usually required by Edval support to check the data validation.
3. Edval Rotation(s)
   Select the rotation from the dropdown to sync to CESIS Server, all rotations can also be selected.
   
   
4. Check course codes
   This button checks that classes with the same course codes but different subject names are flagged as CESIS does not differentiate between them and applies the first subject name it sees for all classes with that course code. Eg 12ENG1 - English and 12ENGA - Engineering. Course code for both classes is '12ENG' and could apply 'English' or 'Engineering' for both classes.
