Second column in Graduate Queue

Joe Menduni
It would be great to have a second column visible in the graduate queue in Marching Order Director to display the graduate's major. This was possible in Marching Order Director 1, but no longer possible in MOD 2.0. We have used this column in the past to display a graduate's major, allowing production staff and next Dean to anticipate when the next group of graduates would be nearing the stage.

Joe, thank you for your feedback. Many of our customers use transition cards for majors to help production staff and the next Dean anticipate when the next group of graduates is approaching the stage. Do you think this would be a good solution for you and your team?

Austin Adair Yes, we are planning to use Transition Cards for the first time this December and will follow up with our CSM on that experience. The second column would still be nice, though, to see if anyone was in the wrong group (i.e. if a graduate from a different school showed up in a queue for a certain school).
Austin Adair
Joe Menduni, for your needs, I recommend addressing the issue of graduates joining the wrong group at check-in by adding an additional check-in field with each graduate's group number. This number can also be included on their GradPass, making it easy to identify if they join the wrong group.
If this is something you’re interested in, your CSM would be happy to discuss it further for your spring ceremony.

Austin Adair Thanks, Austin! That's a good idea which we will explore with our CSM for our May ceremony.
