Default College Data Menu - Columns Updated, Nothing Changed

Default College Data Menu - Columns Updated, Nothing Changed You either forgot to apply changes or need to remove columns individually 

Watch a video on College Data Menu Defaults if you're not already familiar

Situation 1:

I have a few students already entered.

I returned to Settings and added some default data columns

I go back to my students and see no columns added 

Solution 1:

Go back to settings 

click Apply changes to existing students' button.

Situation 2:

I have a few students already entered.

I returned to Settings and removed some default data columns

I click 'Apply Changes to existing students' button.

I then went back to a current student's list, and I see the removed columns still there.

Solution 2:

New Student Records: Will not come with the removed column

For current student records: To remove columns from a college list, click the garbage can in the column header.

 

Why won't it erase the columns I have on current student records?

What if you have student records in your CounselMore account. Let's say 5 seasons worth of student records.

One day you decide that your default column should not include X and should include Y.

Then you click 'Apply changes to existing students' button.

Any unique data columns you pulled for a unique student record, are gone...

That would be sad.

We want you to be happy! 

Note:

You can add the particular data column you removed to your particular student by just adding them back again in the college data menu settings.
