Capacity Planning: Enrolment Counts SHOULD NOT include "Not Returning" Students

With the new capacity planning dashboard, the Enrolment Counts number includes students who have been marked as not returning - this results in a very inaccurate dashboard. Please allow for the option of Not Returning students to be excluded from said reporting dashboard.

    The Not-Returning indicator needs to talk to Core and OnRecord as well.

    Not Returning Students should also not receive School forms

    Not Returning Students should not be scheduled.

    Most schools I know distribute school forms and schedule in 16-17 for 17-18. 

    If I remove the enrollment rolls to take prevent not-returning students from being scheduled/ & receiving school forms - our Enrollment Manager will not have accurate status reports.

    Hi Janet - Thanks for responding. Re-enrolment at our school (and most others, from my experience) happens in year, which means while a student may currently be enrolled at our school for the current school year (2016-17 in this example) - they also could be 100% confirmed at this time (or even earlier in the current school year) as "Not Returning" for the following school year (2017-2018) - this makes this dashboard very inaccurate for planning purposes. Prior to the launch of this Capacity Planner I developed a home-brewed enrolment mothership type dashboard, containing the data I am sure most schools would want at their fingertips. I am happy to share in private if it helps in your internal team in future development of reports of this type.

    Thank you for the feedback on this new dashboard.  I believe the discrepancy comes from the gap in time between when the contract is confirmed 'Not returning' but the student is not yet withdrawn from the upcoming school year.  The enrollment counts assume returning students are coming back unless withdrawn.  Can you provide some insight here as to how the timing works for handling those not returning, and what we might add to the report to make it more clear?  Thanks.
