Seat Fill Utilization Analysis Report

Overview

The Seat Fill Utilization Analysis report displays the findings of the Capacity Analysis as it relates to how a room’s available capacity is being used as section meetings are scheduled into them and as students enroll in those section meetings.

There are many ways to slice this data, using both room and section meeting attributes. Additionally, there are drill-in capabilities in order to view the calculations in a more granular way to identify issues and better understand what is affecting top-level calculations.

Access

Once you have requested a capacity analysis service and it is completed, you can access this report from the Capacity Analysis Report in the Report App by clicking the "Seat Fill Utilization Analysis" button. 

Filters

The filters will inherit those from the initial Capacity Analysis Report but can be modified independently. The default selection for your institution's main campus and classroom/ lecture room type will be pre-selected upon opening the report, but you can turn this off. 

To manipulate the selection further you can update the filters to "Include All" or both true and false values. This will allow the dependent filters to include all possible values to be available for selection.

Top Level Metrics

The dials show the top-level metrics that relate to seat fill. As filtering is applied to this report, the widgets will change to reflect the metrics for the filtered set only. For more information on how seat fill utilization enrollment is calculated, check out the Components section of the Capacity Analysis Report article.
