# How to Manually Allocate Students to Classes in the GCSE & Year 12 Options Model

## This guide will walk you through the process of manually assigning students to classes within the GCSE & Year 12 Options Model, ensuring they are placed in the appropriate subjects based on their choices and availability.

After allocating classes and students using the Allocate button, the system will generate a proposed model. You will then see the Happiness Report displayed at the top of the model, providing insights into student allocations.

Clicking on the sad emoji will display a list of students who have to use subjects outside of their chosen options. Meanwhile, clicking on the fourth emoji will show students who have not been fully allocated to their selected subjects.

In the list displayed after clicking the sad emoji, selecting a student's name will give you the option to manually allocate them to classes. Simply click on the dropdown and select the class you want the student to be allocated to. Click 'Confirm' once done.

In the list displayed after clicking the last emoji, clicking on '**Select classes**' will give you the option to manually allocate them to classes. Simply click on the dropdown and select the class you want the student to be allocated to. Click 'Confirm' once done.

In addition to manually allocating students to classes, you can also move a class from one block to another. To do this, simply click on the icon shown below, hold, and drag the class to your preferred block. This allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the timetable to better accommodate student choices.
