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. A Last School Attend optional filter control has been added to the Controls section on updated dashboards, allowing users to type in a Last Sc...

Resolved: Admissions (Pre-Census Snapshots) Current Admit Term Parameter

Image
The parameter issue affecting the Admissions (Pre-Census Snapshots)  has been resolved. Previously, the blue title bar at the top of the Admit Term Overview page was not updating correctly when the Current Admit Term control selection was changed, while the Prior Admit Term parameter continued to update as expected.  The title bar now updates appropriately based on the selected Current Admit Term . All other parameters used in titles and visual elements on this dashboard were also checked.

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...

Resolved: Academic Plan and CSU Major Concentration Issues on Dashboards

Image
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. Across applicable Campus Data Warehouse dashboards, the default fields used in visuals and on-dashboard filters are now: Academic Plan Owner (College) Degree Description Academic Plan (Major) These fields replace CSU Major Concentration fields—such as College Description, Degree Group, and Major Long Description—as the default dashboard selections. CSU Major Concentration fields remain available as Group Breakdown options on most dashboards. Concentration also remains available as an on-dashboard filter on many dashboards. 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...

Update: Race / Ethnicity Changes on Campus Data Warehouse Dashboards

Update 7/23/2026: Credentials-related dashboards based on the ERS Credentials dataset have been updated with the renaming of Legacy Race / Ethnicity fields and the addition of IPEDS Race / Ethnicity fields in Campus Data Warehouse. The IPEDS Race / Ethnicity and IPEDS Underrepresented Minority (URM) fields have replaced the Legacy Race / Ethnicity (pre-2026) and Legacy Underrepresented Minority (pre-2026) filters in the Controls dropdowns at the top of the dashboard, where appropriate. Both the IPEDS and Legacy fields are available in the Group Breakdowns, but the Legacy fields will not have data for Fall 2026 applicants and enrollees. Because students typically receive credential recommendations later in their academic careers, the impact on this dashboard may not become visible immediately. Updated dashboard: ERS Credentials Shared folders / Dashboards / Credentials / Credentials Recommendations The Credentials Recommendations dashboard was the final data model and dashboard to be u...

New Features: Multiple Race Category Filter Added to Enrollment Dashboards

Image
The ERS Student (enrollment Census and Pre-Census) dashboards in Campus Data Warehouse have been updated with a new Multiple Race Category filter available in the optional controls section at the top of each dashboard page. The new control provides a more granular way to identify and track students who selected multiple race categories. Users can filter for specific multi-race combinations. Multiple Race Category is a derived value based on student responses to the race question on the CSU Application for admission. Additional information about this field and its available values is provided in the CSUMB Data Glossary . The new control is especially useful within the census and pre-census Multilevel Crosstab Table pages, where users may need to examine enrollment data for students selecting particular combinations of race categories. Where You’ll See These Changes The updated dashboards are available in: Shared Folders / Dashboards / Enrollment / Enrollment (Pre-Census Snapshots) / En...

New Features: Overview and Fast Facts Academic Plan Updates

Image
The Overview dashboards, Executive Overview, and Enrollment Fast Facts dashboards in Campus Data Warehouse have been updated with new filters for Academic Plan Owner (College), Degree Description, and Academic Plan (Major) so that they are more consistent with the default filters available across other dashboards.

They also provide a consistent way to select colleges, degree programs, and academic plans when moving between dashboards. Where You’ll See These Changes The updated dashboards are available in: Shared Folders / Dashboards / Overviews / Admissions Funnel (C...
