Cal State Monterey Bay - Campus Data Warehouse Updates

The Cost of Instruction dashboard in Campus Data Warehouse (QuickSight) has been decommissioned. A replacement dashboard developed and maintained systemwide by the Chancellor's Office is suggested as an alternative. Background on Known Issues:  Since the launch of Campus Data Warehouse in AWS QuickSight in August 2024, the Cost of Instruction dashboard has experienced ongoing data quality and functionality issues that have not been fully resolved. These issues have impacted the reliability of the dashboard for reporting and analysis. Over the past two years, multiple alerts have documented persistent problems with the Cost of Instruction dashboard, including: Incorrect and inflated metrics due to data duplication and modeling issues.  Data inaccuracies following APDB census data loads, particularly affecting enrollment and other key measures.  Dashboard errors and failures to return results in production.  Ongoing validation and refresh issues preventing reliable use...

Following January DUAG and Focus Group feedback, the following enhancements were made and are now available on the Class Meeting Timeblocks dashboard in Campus Data Warehouse production:  Add Academic Course Name on-dashboard control/filters on all pages (for identifying curriculum conflicts).  Add Combined Course Section control/filter in Controls section all pages.   Note and conditional symbol added to indicate Combined sections on detail table.  Note and link to all Combined Sections for selected filters all pages.  New S3 datasource integration to dataset and URL action (menu) for 25Live space entries added on detail table.     

 A new dashboard, CSUMB Experience Survey 2025 Results , is now available to all users in Campus Data Warehouse production.   The CSUMB Experience Survey 2025 Results dashboard provides reporting on the Spring 2025 administration of the CSUMB Experience Survey, a homegrown survey administered every 3 years since 2009 covering various aspects of students' academic and nonacademic experiences. In Spring 2025, the survey was substantially revised, with campus partners, and administered to all student levels, expanding beyond the undergraduate degree-seekers in past administrations. The response rate for the Spring 2025 survey was 22.5%.  The new dashboard provides improved, flexible reporting with many more options to dig into the data with user friendly tools.  Access is available to all users in Campus Data Warehouse via:  Shared folders > Dashboards > Surveys > CSUMB Experience Survey.  The Overview page summarizes Most Satisfied (Top 10) and...

The Enrollment (Census) Terms Detail > Term Trends page was updated with a fix so that the metrics appropriately change in the pivot table when users change the metric selector on the dashboard.  GC0023143 - Enrollment (Census) Terms Detail Trends Table Not Updating -  The pivot table on the Enrollment (Census) Term Trends page is not updating appropriately when changing the metric from Headcount to various FTE metric options. The metric stays as Headcount even if FTE metric is selected. The graph visuals on the page are updating as appropriate. Note: appears to be a parameter problem (not passing to the table calculation). 

The Campus Data Warehouse team is aware of a problem with the Difference Metric fields on the Admissions (Pre-Census Snapshots) Daily Trends dashboard page. The "Difference in Current Term Metric from Prior Term" and "Percent Difference in Current Term Metric from Prior term" fields are not updating as appropriate when the dashboard is filtered.  For example, filtering to First-Time Freshman (FTF) Admissions Cohort, the difference and percent difference metrics remain the same (not filtered). A fix has been developed and is in the process of being updated.

3/9/2026 Race / Ethnicity fields derived from ERS are displaying a lot of null values across Enrollment (ERS Student) and Admissions Funnel dashboards and data models. The Campus Data Warehouse development team is analyzing the root cause and working on a fix.

A new dashboard, Class Meeting Timeblocks, is available in Campus Data Warehouse to support planning and analysis, combining class scheduled meeting patterns, building and room usage, and campus approved timeblock alignment in one place. The new dashboar is designed to support academic scheduling, space utilization, and student-centered planning of course curriculum and scheduling.  This dashboard helps you answer questions like: How are classes scheduled across the week? What are the most popular and least used days and class times? When does the campus experience peak scheduling demand? Where is there additional capacity during the instructional week? How are classrooms and buildings being used? Which buildings and rooms are used most frequently for instruction? What subjects or departments rely most heavily on specific facilities? When are rooms underutilized or not scheduled for classes? How do scheduling patterns differ by subject, level, or modality? Do...

A heatmap visualization of Class Section Count and Students Enrolled in classes by day of the week and meeting start time is now available in Campus Data Warehouse on the new Class Meeting Timeblocks dashboard (see Weekly Distribution and Compliance ). The new Class Meeting Timeblocks dashboard can be found:  In:  Shared folders / Dashboards / Class Meeting Timeblocks.  Or, from the  Navigation and Help dashboard  in Campus Data Warehouse, you can find "Class Meeting Timeblocks" under the  Courses topic  and click "Navigate >" to the "Weekly Distribution and Compliance" page.

All dashboards under Shared Folders > Dashboards > Courses are now available to the general user role (all employees) in the Campus Data Warehouse.   This change will allow all users to explore additional Courses and Scheduling-focused dashboards including Class Schedule, Class Meeting Timeblocks, APDB, and other dashboards without going through the Alternative Data Access Request process.
