Hi,

I suggested this idea a while back, and the usefulness has been highlighted again today. If it would be useful to you, I'd appreciate your vote!

    I could be wrong, but I thought I had heard there will be no improvements made to Advanced Lists. With the advent of SkyLists BB was moving away from Advanced Lists. I thought I had heard it was going away altogether, but that has not materialized so far.

    I know they haven't added data sets for Nurse or Conduct modules to Advanced Lists. And those modules have now been around for a while.

    Thanks.

    @Lauren Henderson hi Lauren! The link took me to the general Idea bank instead of an Idea. What are you trying to accomplish? Household management is on my wish list, so I'd love to hear your insight on the problem you're trying to solve. Thanks!

    @Jessi Walters Hi! I guess first thing to accomplish is figuring out how to successfully link to the idea bank! ?

    • K12CO-I-3332 is the actual idea; I would like to be able to pull household ID as a field in advanced lists. There is information we can only get through an advanced list, and being able to pull a household ID in as well would allow us to get that information out to Power BI through the List ID. Otherwise, two lists need to be manipulated in Excel, and then don't have the refresh that comes from being able to pull an advanced list directly. A specific example would be for geographically mapping our families (households), instead of individual students, by town/city, for the sake of Admissions, bus route mapping, etc.

    @Lauren Henderson @Jessi Walters The ability to add Household ID to an advanced list would be be a HUGE help. As @Lauren Henderson noted, there is much to be manipulated in a spreadsheet to get all sorts of information in a useable way in the absence of being able to add the HH ID field.
