General Information on
statistical values:
Other
values:
Booking Stats - are based on the date the
booking was entered into the system
Production Stats - are based on
spreading the enrolment element (eg. Tuition) over the duration of the item
(Course)
These commissions are the reserved ones held
for later payment to "Gross" agents or reserved commissions on extensions.
This makes the net value smaller, but more
accurate.
Always
use Summary, the detailed report is for auditing the data.
Main or
Commission Agent
It is recommended that the "Commission" agent be used
for the statistics.
This means that direct bookings, which have a commission
agent, will be attributed to the commission agent, not the
"Direct" agent.

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".
