Enabling Services then creates a new ‘EZ Lift’ workbook, with a worksheet for each academic program/certificate (screenshot below).
Since Excel tab names are limited to 31 characters, it might be helpful to determine how you’re going to name the tab first, then create the worksheets using a tool.

Sometimes you have to ‘think outside the box’. What’s a similar name for a program?
...
A two-year degree could be an AS (Associate Science), AA (Associate Arts) AST (Associate Science-Transfer), AAT (Associate Arts Transfer). Usually around 60 units; of those 60 units-some are Gen Ed General Education requirements.
Gen Ed requirements help round out a student’s education. Most schools require at least one course in Math, English composition (reading/writing), Social Sciences, Natural/Physical/Biological Sciences, Arts & Humanities.
...
Because there is a vast difference in an Associate degree versus a Certificate, use your judgement in identifying possible occupations to be associated with the academic program.
Further, just because a student chooses a particular academic program doesn’t mean that when the student graduates from that program, they’re ready to start their chosen career. Their career choice might require additional academic studies (bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate).

Academic Deans are responsible for all the academic programs in their discipline. A discipline is a broad academic ‘school of thought’.
