Production stats allow the booking dates to be entered.
For example, you can measure the amount of "Production" this
year attributable to bookings entered (received) this year.
When compared to last year, it can be seen whether the
current year is more, or less, dependent on bookings received this year, thank
it was in the previous year.
The key values Class will only
accurately report on is:
Student Weeks and Values
These 2 variables have a clear meaning and
definition and will in the main not change, even if admin procedures differ from
school to school.
Student
Counts and Enrolment Counts
These variables can
be misleading and confusing depending on how Class is operated.
Results can vary depending on time ranges, selection
criteria, and the impact of cancellations.
For this
reason, these 2 values are not recommended for statistical reporting.
Enrolment Counts
If
required, can be obtained from the "Statistics Generator" (Enrolment
Bookings).
Other place where
"counts", "numbers" etc are indicated are purely computer counts and may not necessarily reconcile
with any other figures. Future releases on Class will have the captions changed
to "count".
