Affordability Programs Tracking Report

Purpose

Provide insights into recent and upcoming adoptions of a publisher’s material by affordability programs.

Report Notes

  • The access filter will automatically filter the report to only show products that the user’s company (in Manage) owns, and this filter will only show available values.

  • Report data includes current year and 2 prior years only.

Definition of filters

Filter NameDescriptionUsage Notes
TermStandardized term name, based on term start date (ex: Fall-2024, Winter/Spring-2025).

For 2-semester reviews, it is recommended to use these combinations:

  • Winter/Spring = Spring
  • Summer/Fall = Fall

⚠️ The institution-defined term is not necessarily the same as the standardized term. For example, you may see some schedules names that may say “Spring” and appear in the “Winter” or “Summer” term.
