Special Programs- Add record counter to current programs
Many users get confused and think there aren't any current programs under the special programs table. I would like to suggest adding a record counter on the current programs dropdown (similar to the program history dropdown). This would be an indicator they have a current record.

I second this idea. I realize this is a training issue, but it keeps coming u
The UI aspect of this page is confusing to users: the three sections can be collapsed/expanded by users, and Aeries remembers the last state (expanded vs collapsed). Users who seldom use the page forget to expand the sections then think there is no PGM entries for that student.
Today's example, a user added a new entry for PGM page, but the section for "Current Programs" is collapsed by default. User did not see their new entry, and they think that "save failed", so they add it again. Rinse and repeat many times, until they call IT in frustration.
One potential solution is to add the number of entries ("counter" from Dana's idea) for each section in parenthesis, if the section is collapsed. For example:
Special Programs (6)
Program Screenings (2)
Program History (16)Thanks!
