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...

The Campus Data Warehouse team is aware of a problem with the Cost of Instruction dashboards in production: no results are displayed, and all dashboard visualizations display errors.  We are currently investigating the cause of the problem and working on a solution.  In the meantime, users with Cost of Instruction dashboard access may continue to access the dashboards in the legacy (Oracle) data warehouse at csumb.edu/datawarehouse .

Update 3/27/2025:  After our Spring 2025 APDB Census data load, the Campus Data Warehouse team has identified that data for Spring 2025 on the Cost of Instruction dashboards is incorrect after the APDB load. Values are inflated for Enrollment and potentially other metrics due to an issue with duplicate records. We are working to troubleshoot the problem in both our legacy (Oracle) and modernized (QuickSight) systems.
