How should this work?

have DSP system generate a sequential ID number upon registration

Who will benefit (Admins, Staff, Students)?

admin, accounts, business owners

How will this change impact your daily tasks or overall experience?

For example, this will help with tracking and following up outstanding fees on a systematic basis when multiple admin team members are recording the resulting communications with the parents.
