CSUMB Data Glossary Hover Preview Issue

We are aware of an issue affecting hover previews in the CSUMB Data Glossary . When most visitors hover over a linked data element, the preview may not load and instead display the message, “There was an issue displaying this preview.”  The glossary’s data element definition pages and links remain available and can still be opened normally by selecting the link; only the hover-preview feature is affected.   Our wiki hosting provider, MyWikis, has confirmed that the issue is related to an anti-bot protection intended to preserve the stability and reliability of its services. The provider is evaluating whether it can restore hover previews without weakening those protections.    We will share an update when a resolution is available.

New Feature: Academic Program Code Filter Available in Course Enrollment Demographics

The Course Enrollment Demographics dashboard in the Campus Data Warehouse has been updated with a new Academic Program Code filter in the Controls section at the top of the dashboard. This enhancement makes it easier to review course enrollment for Extended Education programs. To focus your results, filter the Academic Program Code to: GEXDG PCERT PEXDG UEXDG Then, use Group Breakdowns such as Academic Program and Academic Course Name to generate a list of courses with students enrolled from these academic programs.

New Feature: Last School Attend on Course Enrollment Demographics and Grades Dashboards

Last School Attend fields have been added to the Course Enrollment Demographics and Grades dashboards in Campus Data Warehouse. This will facilitate understanding of questions such as:  How many of the students enrolled in my course or my departments courses come from a given high school or community college?  What was the last school attended by the students enrolled in a particular course or set of courses?  Do course outcomes (grades, DFW rates, etc.) differ by the last school attended of the students enrolled in the course(s)?  The Course Enrollment Demographics | Overview dashboard page has a new geovisualization to map the locations of the last school attended by the students enrolled in a selected course and a table lists the last school attend location and school type of the students enrolled in the selected course.

Update: Group Breakdown User Experience Redesign Completed

Image
Update 7/24/2026: The Group Breakdown user experience redesign is now complete across all applicable Campus Data Warehouse dashboards. The redesign was implemented across dashboards and data models supporting Admissions, Enrollment, Courses and Grades, Retention and Graduation, Degrees, Credentials, and other areas of analysis. Previous dashboard updates introduced the redesigned controls in stages as enhancements moved into production. The redesigned interaction combines the Group Breakdown category and field into a single control. This streamlined approach: Makes it faster and more efficient to discover and apply grouping fields Allows related Group Breakdowns to appear together Enables searches using either category or field names Reduces the number of controls required, particularly on Multilevel Crosstab tables Creates a simpler and more consistent experience across dashboards This solution was informed by collaboration with the Data User Advisory Group, user experience consultati...

Update 7/23/2026: With the recent addition of Academic Plan filters to the Credentials, Overviews, Executive Overview, and Academic Program Review dashboards, the Academic Plan dashboard user experience improvement project is now complete.

The correction to Academic Plan effective-date logic resolved most discrepancies between the Academic Plan and CSU Major Concentration fields. A small number of differences may remain where source records were removed or unavaila...
