Setting up Student Archive Snapshots

Administrators can set-up and define intervals at which to "snap" Student Admissions and Student Registration data to create a functional and valuable Student Archive for reporting purposes.

The archived data can then be run against dedicated reporting pages to allow for point in time, year-over-year, term-over-term and ongoing relational data to be compared.

To get started, a FAST Student Administrator must enable the Archives:

In Student Reporting -> Administration -> Archive Information -> Archive Tables

There are several default Snaps to choose from:

• Admissions

• Institutional Definitions

• Registration

• Account Balance

• Active Holds

• Attributes

• Student Info

For each option, you can:

• View or override the Query

• Select the days of week you would like the archive to "snap" (save)

• Specify a Group to notify if the archive fails to complete (optional step)

• Enable or disable an Archive

When complete, save your changes and the data will begin to be captured and stored immediately.
