How to Use This Report
Start with the filters — The report is automatically scoped to your company's adoptions. Optionally narrow further using the Institution, Access Program, or Content Type filters.
Interpret the results — Use the historical tiles to identify institutions with a recurring pattern of high opt-out or low opt-in rates, and the Intervention Report tiles to see which specific sections are approaching their opt-in/opt-out deadline with elevated risk right now.
Take action — Reach out to the flagged institutions or sections before the opt-in/opt-out deadline passes to reduce the risk of low course-material participation.
| 💡 Tip: Check this report regularly in the weeks leading up to a term start. The Intervention Report tiles are date-driven (opt-out deadline within 14 days; opt-in deadline within 8 days of term start), so results will change as those windows open and close. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does a tile show "No results"?
A: This typically means your materials aren't currently adopted at an institution using that participation model — for example, the Low Opt-In tile will show "No results" if you have no adoptions at Opt-In institutions.
Q: Why don't the counts on this report match what I see in another report?
A: This report applies specific timing and rate thresholds (e.g., deadline within 14 days, opt-out rate ≥5%) that narrow the population to sections needing near-term intervention, so counts will be lower than a report showing all of your adoptions.
Q: What data am I seeing?
A: The report automatically filters to show only your own institutions and products; you will not see other companies' data.
