Planning Reports
The Reports (bar chart icon) in the left sidebar include data-driven analytics on actual course and scheduling data. These reports help you advise your students, and they help measure and optimize course offerings at your institution.
Planned Courses Report
To help with course capacity planning, you can download a real-time report of what classes students have planned for each term. You can choose whether to include student information.
The Planned Course Report generates a CSV download of all courses across all student Primary (active) plans that are planned for the selected terms.
- On the left menu, select Reports and choose Planned Course Report.
- Select the level of privacy you want for the report:
- Summary (no student IDs)
- Raw Data (student-level reports)
Important: Handle this file securely according to your policy for student PII.
- From the Terms drop-list, select which terms to include in the report.
Click Download.
Scheduling Course Demand
Scheduling Course Demand reporting helps you guide students around pitfalls, such as courses that they might not get into because they fill up early in the registration period.
The reports are run on demand for you to download locally, after you specify what you want to see:
- Choose the information you want:
- Scheduling Course Demand — for the scheduling pressure on a given course (all sections)
- Section Demand — how many students are desiring a specific section, as indicated by their adding scheduling locks
- Excluded Sections — how many students are refusing a specific section, as indicated by deselecting it from scheduling
- Choose the security level:
- Summary (no student IDs)
- Raw Data (student-level reports)
Important: Handle this file securely according to your policy for student PII.
- Choose just the Active Terms or the historical view (All Terms)
Armed with this information, you can make helpful predictions for your affected students. For example, you might determine that a given course or section is at risk of being pulled because too few students are scheduling it.
Scheduling Break Demand
Scheduling Break Demand reporting gives visibility into the challenges faced by students and how course sections might need to be redistributed to serve the greatest need.
For example, if additional sections of Freshman Composition are about to be added, the Scheduling Break Demand report could help identify problem time slots to avoid, such as if a significant percentage of commuting students have blocked out early mornings altogether, because of the difficulty of rush-hour transportation.
Scheduling Student Usage
Scheduling Student Usage reporting gives a set of bar graphs on Scheduling usage that update regularly. These reports reveal how many students are accessing the scheduling application:
- Logins — The top row of graphs shows how many students in total are logging into their scheduling.
- New Users — The bottom row of graphs show how many students are logging into scheduling for the first time, which is your window into the success of your rollout initiatives.
The first graph in each row is month-by-month for the current year; the second is the full year-by-year history, so you can see the larger pattern of adoption.
