Description

lccCanvasCourseAdvisor (lccCCA) was developed to supply these capabilities:

allow user to create/maintain quarters codes list
allow user to create/maintain intent ignore codes list
allow user to create/maintain 'advisor' courses (only the id/intents and cap, the rest is pulled from Canvas)
query all courses in course list and get the # enrolled, then all students enrolled and fill in the Courses table
get/parse currently registered students against all of the above
for students who have an intent code that is not ignored and are not in an advisor course, add them
only up add up to the cap, ignore wildcards until all courses with possible intent codes are filled
add in a round-robin fashion, to balance memberships
allow wildcard courses for spill-over and intent codes not defined
provide stats on what was processed/done/etc.
encryption of sensitive data in the Logic File
output Course+Student records to text file
