Run reports on enrollment decisions
userEducator Xello productXello 6-12 Time4 minutes

In Xello, once students have decided which college to attend, they’ll record their enrollment decision.

Meanwhile, you can run a report on those enrollment decisions. This can help you learn where students plan to attend college, how many will attend each institution, and to provide support directly to students based on their decision.

FYIFYI: To learn how to group students based on report results, sort the lists in reports, filter the data, and more, check out Tips and Tricks with Reports.

To give better insight, there are two reports you can run: Enrollment decision by student, and Enrollment decision by institution.
