Reports To Run and Why:
Request Batch Report prints a list of student requests, one page per student for the selected calendar, that can be given to students if necessary. This allows staff, students and parents to review and verify requests that have been made.
Request Detail Report returns student course request information for the upcoming school year. This information is used to plan the course schedule for the next school year, for example the number of sections that are needed to fulfill requests for a specific course.
Schedule Units Report shows a count of the number of units that can potentially be filled by a student's course requests. The report can be generated for all students, or filtered to only those students who have not requested enough courses to fill their schedule.
