Registration Seat Assignment Enhancement

TRACK: Student

Registration processing performance has been enhanced by tracking enrollment counts in separate seat assignment tables (SSRSEAT and SSRSEAW) instead of the section table (SSBSECT). The immediate update of enrollment counts for each section is replaced by a new batch process, designed to run in sleep/wake mode, that updates the enrollment counts asynchronously at an interval specified by the institution. Learn how this replaces the counts scripts provided by Ellucian in the past, how to enable using it, and what needs to be updated in your reports, integrations, and modifications to pull this data.
