- Use your browser's Print Preview function to confirm that the output is correct prior to sending to the printer. You may adjust text size using the text font size controls of your browser. You may also control the page orientation using your browser settings to fix table cells that span page breaks or reports that print too small.

Number of classes scheduled for the student.
% Scheduled
Percent scheduled based on all possible time slots that can be scheduled according to periods, days, and terms.

Run the Individual Student Conflict Matrix Report
Use the Individual Student Conflict Matrix report to identify whether it is possible to rearrange a student's schedule so that more or all of their course requests can be fulfilled.
In the process of scheduling, it is inevitable that some students will not have all their requests fulfilled. This is often due to limited resource availability but it can also be due to inherent limitations of using a scheduling engine. At some point, the effort that the engine expends investigating the different possibilities of a schedule runs into diminishing returns. While PowerSchool's scheduling engine often reaches into the 90 percent fulfillment of requests range, manual intervention is necessary at some point to achieve an even higher percentage. Often it requires investigating students to identify why all of their requests were not scheduled.
While PowerSchool provides reports that identify unfilled requests, you must investigate various other reports to determine how, or even if, a particular request can be filled. Questions that a scheduling administrator might ask include: "Are any of the sections of the requested class available during an unscheduled period for the student?", "If not, can I reschedule a filled class so that the student can be scheduled into the missed one?", "Is there enough room in another class so that I can squeeze the student in?". This report provides sufficient information for an administrator to begin answering these questions.
As an example, consider four sections: Course A1 with no section type, Course A2 with a section type of Bilingual, Course B1 with no section type, and Course B2 with a section type of Bilingual. If a student requests Course A1 with an alternate of Course B and gets enrolled in B so that it appears as an alternate on the report, the report displays both sections of Course B but only one section of Course A. The same result appears if the student does not request Course B as a primary or alternate request but is enrolled in the course, anyway; all sections appear on the report regardless of section type.
- Navigate to the PowerScheduler page.
