Student undergrad applicant actions

DATA VIEW NAME
STDNT UGRD APPLICANT ACTIONS
OVERVIEW

This data view contains a history of every Program Action and Action Reason taken on an undergraduate application to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The view is intended to be joined with the STDT_UGRD_APPLICANT data view to gather year-to-date statistics.

Due to the significant potential for confusion in gathering year-to-date statistics with this data view, it is suggested that individuals limit queries to data relevant to their office.

This data view should not be used to gather day-to-day applicant information; instead, the STDT_UGRD_APPLICANT data view alone should be accessed.
