Programs (Census)

The Programs tool lists the programs in which the individual (a non-student, a parent/guardian, a staff person, etc.) is involved. This only includes Programs created in the Program Admin toolset.

Assign an Individual to a Program

Follow these procedures for adding a program to one individual. Use the Batch Assignment Tool to assign multiple people to the same program.

  1. Click the New icon. A Program Participation Detail editor displays.
  2. Select the appropriate Program from the dropdown list.
  3. If applicable, select a Program Session from the dropdown list.
  4. Enter the Start Date.
  5. Enter information on the Participation Details and the Description of the program.
  6. Click the Save icon when finished.

Edit and Delete Program Assignments

To modify details of an individual's assigned program, select the Program from the Program Participation Editor and make the necessary changes. If a program start date was entered incorrectly, editing the program assignment is fine. When an individual has participated for even one day but has decided to no longer continue, edit the program and enter appropriate end dates.

If the assigned program was incorrect, it is best to delete the program (click the Delete icon) and assign the correct program. This completely removes any record of the individual being involved in the Program.

Print Program Assignments

The Print icon generates a Programs Participation Detail Report (in PDF format) that lists the programs assigned to the individual. Active programs and active programs with sessions display first, then inactive programs and inactive programs with sessions. Programs that have a future end date are considered active (until the date has passed).
