Critical Concepts

Pre-Joined Data

• The SAH-Demographics-View is focused on one row per student.
• This view contains students who have been enrolled at some point, even if those student have later withdrawn from UCSD.
• Demographics view looks at the most current registration status without looking forward.
• Current fields show a student's most recent activities and information at UCSD.
• First fields show a student's first term of recorded activities and information at UCSD.
• The values for current fields will be carried over if a student graduates or drops out.

Age

Calculated based on student date of birth, when available.  When the date of birth is not available this field will be null.

Granularity

Granularity is the scale or level of detail present in a set of data.  It identifies where levels of uniqueness exists in the data.  The data lives in the view at the lowest level, but each BI tool totals the levels differently.

Please note:  The Level of Detail (LOD) calculations listed here for Tableau developers are a baseline and do not necessary include all of the LOD equations needed for your report.
