New Degree String and Parent String in PostGrads
New Degree and Parent Strings can now be generated in PostGrads Reporting and are available in selected reports.

The Parent String and Short Degree String are in these list-based reports: VOLDTL10 – Volunteer Contact Report VOLDTL20 – Volunteer Contact Report – Sort for Regions Note: Enter your List ID and don’t worry about the other report parameters if you are not going to use other columns in the report.
