1. The Assignment Type Configuration search page displays.
2. In the Search Criteria enter the following:
   • Assignment Type: Enter assignment type (e.g. LEC ) or leave blank to generate search list from the institution code.
   • Academic Institution: Enter the institution code (e.g. WA171) or use the Look Up.
3. Click Search.

4. The FWL Assignment Type page displays.  
5. FWL Assignment Type : This page would define The  Calculation Configuration, Formula, Speed Keys and Calc Result Page Layout.
6. Effective Date:  Enter an effective date for the assignment type value that you establish on this page.
   • Note: You can use only those assignment types with effective dates that are earlier than or equal to the effective date of the Academic Institution table as academic institution defaults on the Academic Institution 4 page. 
   • Assignment types with effective dates later than the effective date of the Academic Institution table can still be used throughout the system; they cannot be set up as academic institution default values.
7. Status:  Select a status for the assignment type value. Select Active when adding a new assignment type. Select Inactive only if your institution no longer uses the listed values. In particular, you cannot inactivate assignment type values (set on the Academic Institution 4 page) that the system references. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. Do not modify these values in any way. Any modifications to these values require a substantial programming effort.
8. Short Description:  Enter the short description to associate with the assignment type value. This description appears in the grid on the Meetings page and on the Term Workload page. Be sure to use a short value that clearly describes the assignment type value. For example, you might want to describe an assignment type of Standard 15-Hour Assignment with a short description of Stnd15. In that case, the grid prompt value also appears as Stnd15. The short description is to the first ten characters of the description.
9. View on Schedule of Classes:  Select if you want the assignment type to be an available drop-down choice on the Meetings page. This check box does not control whether the assignment type appears on the Schedule of Classes report; it just determines whether the assignment type can be associated with a course component. Leave this check box cleared if you do not want the assignment type available for pairing with components. For example, an assignment type of academic counseling or student club advisor might not be something that you want associated with a course component. It is an assignment type that is created specifically for use on the Term Workload page. In this case, do not select this check box. However, an assignment type of In-person lecture might be something that you want available on the Meetings page. In this case, do select this check box.
10. Include Assignment in Workload:  Select if you want components with this assignment type to be included in the instructor's total term full-time equivalency percentage.
11. Non Instructional:  Select if the assignment type is not part of the FTE load i.e. (counseling, Librarian, Stipend, Special Assignment, etc...)
12. Enter Term Max Load Rate OR enter Min Contract Rate.

End of procedure.
