Cal State Monterey Bay - Campus Data Warehouse Updates

Based on user feedback and questions, a link to the survey instrument has been added as a resource to the CSUMB Experience Survey 2025 Results dashboard. The reference document includes full question text, response options, and the order questions were asked.  Users of the CSUMB Experience Survey 2025 Results dashboard can use this reference to find how the questions were asked, what the response options looked like, and how many responses could be provided to questions that allowed multiple responses. 

We’re excited to share a new round of enhancements to Courses- and Grades-related dashboards in the Campus Data Warehouse. These updates focus on improving usability, consistency, and alignment with evolving General Education (GE) frameworks—making it easier to find, explore, and interpret your data. What’s New Updated General Education Filters To better reflect prior and current GE structures: The legacy “GE Area” filters have been renamed to “General Education Area (2021–2024)” A new “General Education Area (2025)” filter has been added across dashboards These updates ensure you can clearly distinguish between GE frameworks and analyze data with the appropriate context.

The issue with the DFW Grades dashboard where some visuals were not displaying the on-visual menu that enables Export to CSV and Export to Excel has been fixed. Other visuals were also checked to ensure the on-visual menus are enabled so that users may export data from the dashboard visuals.

A new  Enrolled Student Count metric was added as an option on Course Enrollment Demographics Trends and Multilevel Crosstab Table in Campus Data Warehouse.  The new Enrolled Student Count metric will enable academic organizations / subjects to see an unduplicated count of students that are taking any course in their Academic Organization or Subject.  

Updated 4/7/2026:  All of the APDB dashboards were audited and updated in production to ensure the duplicate Workload Factor filter reference that was hard-coded to K-Workload have been removed. The Workload Factor  control at the top of the dashboard now appropriately filters to user's workload factor selections.

Updated 4/7/2026:  The parameter links from analysis to dataset broke during migration from stage to production. This was causing the Group Breakdowns as well as the Number of Years to include behave incorrectly. The analysis was modified in production to remove and then relink the analysis and dataset parameters and the analysis was republished in production. The parameter controls for the Group Breakdowns and Number of Years to include are now working as expected.

Update 4/7/2026:  The calculated field was broken after migration from stage to production. Removing the calculated field metric from the visualization and then re-adding it to the visualization resolved the error. The dashboard in production has been republished and is no longer producing the error.
