The rules system is complex, it requires a user interface that is powerful and still understandable. Here are a few approaches I am using to help this work.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tGood use of help information embedded in forms.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDisplay configuration formatted similarly to ultimate output. Credits configuration looks like credits bucket on the student page.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tReuse behavior so once a user understands how Set rules work, they will be able to apply that to Credits rules and Milestone rules.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tProvide result views so users can debug their configuration. For Sets show the effective programs included. For credits we have a view of the transcript with applicable courses highlighted.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\tWork Complete<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\tEDUC Project<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tThe boundless W logo in the upper left corner links back to the home page for each application context.
