I have struggled for years with the issue of having the correct No Show date be used - because the No Show Wizard does NOT help our users make the correct choice.

So, Here is my solution proposal.

Modify the No Show Setup:
https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000070848-no-show-setup

Have two configurable No Show dates
- Prior Year Exit Date
- Current Year Exit Date

Then the No Show Dialog that appears when selecting the No Show Code on the Demographics page, can evaluate the STU.ED and choose the correct default:
If STU.ED is within the current school year - use the configured "Current Year Exit Date" from the No Show Setup.
If STU.ED is before the first day in the current school year (meaning the student was enrolled in the previous school year) - use the configured "Prior Year Exit Date" from the No Show Setup.

** I recognize that STU.ED may not be the best way to perform the prior year enrollment check. I can think of a few ways... but Honestly, just find a method to determine if the student ended the prior year at the same school.

Having two No Show dates would align with the No Show Guidelines AND actually HELP users make the right choice!
