When a Section Master record is created, J1 automatically calculates a Census Date for the section by using the course duration (number of days between the earliest begin date and the last end date specified on all the section schedule entries) multiplied by the Census Percentage from the Year Term Table (Term Duration X Census Percent = Census Date).
· If you always allow J1 to fill in the begin and end dates from the Year Term Table, all of the courses for the term will have the same Census Date.
· If you have courses with different begin or end dates, then they will also have different Census Dates.
· If the Census Percent on the Year Term Table is blank, it will default the Census Date to the earliest begin date for the section.
