Features to Complete

• Enrollment TrendsBUG: Forecasted data does not include cases where there was not actual enrollment in the program in the previous term/year (SPCOMO in 2022, for example)Should I just load in the target as placeholder history in these cases?Add the "Sponsered Program" filter to the enrollment-only report in PBI
• Replace the 'Target Defined' with 'Sponsored Program' in the 'Enrollment and Tuition' and ''Enrollment Only' pages.
•  Trends
  • Include selector for the targets to use for the trend analysis instead of defaulting to the latest available for the term
    • This can get complicated when the targets are not aligned across the years (e.g., the latest for 2022 was Q1, but for 2023 it was Q2)
  • BUG: Spring forecast charts are off, likely caused by the offset date method to keep numbers from spanning over two years.
  • Include headcount, average credits, and tuition as alternate data points
  • Filtering
    • Allow switching view between daily, weekly and monthly
    CONSIDER: Show all years in the trend charts for actuals, with the projection pattern for the single year
