Define Alternative Organization Partition Preferences on a Section-by-Section Basis
A section might have different partition needs than its formal department's partition preferences. For example, "Math for Music Majors" might be technically coded as ...

Use X25 Modeling transformations in Optimizer runs
Apply data transformations from X25 Modeling to subsets of prepared data:
* Enrollment/capacity adjustment

Account for location relationships when placing classes
If a room and its subdivisions are both part of the same run, do not allow the Optimizer to create a double-booking by placing classes into both of them.
Archive option for Optimizer runs
