why do i need to put in gender when pulling the report.  cant i do everyone at once?

also if i have a few locations, each with a separate BEDS but want to do direct matching for all at once, is that something i can do or need to do each location separate?

The gender will always take from the student unless there is nothing filled in. Then it takes the one you selected in the popup.

 

You will need to make new report for each beds number you can combine the exports later on.
