Renaming and Deprecating

As we've adapted the SAH views to your needs, we have found changing field names is painful for both report developers and our team due to the name change breaking reports, data integrations and packages / data sources.  In an effort to avoid this pain, we are going to introduce a new name change strategy. 

  1. ITS-BIA will release new fields with the revised field name in the views that contain the field to be renamed, or where a view is to be renamed ITS-BIA will release as a new view the view with the revised name.

  2. ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields / views.

  3. ITS-BIA will remove the data from the old fields / views and allow a second transition period.  This will not break the report but will highlight where the fields / views are still in use as they will become blank.

  4. ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields / views.  Any reports the have not transitioned by this point will break.

We'll be using this strategy on the following items that require name changes.

Step 1&2 - Announcing that this field will be retired.

  • Cognos SAH-LMS only: Enrollment Class Section > Class Section ID added to replace Class Section >Class Section ID
  • Cognos SAH-LMS only: Enrollment Class Section > Currently Enrolled Class Section IDs added to replace LMS Class Section > Currently Enrolled Class Section IDs
  • Cognos SAH-LMS only: Enrollment Class Section > Ever Enrolled Class Section ID added to replace LMS Class Section > Ever Enrolled Class Section ID

Please note, these are not name changes but folder changes.  This will have no impact to Tableau but Cognos users will need to repoint their reports.  We will be removing the three fields above from the LMS Class Section and Class Section folders in November.

Step 3 - Field to be retired has been set to null.

  • Grade - will be replaced by Class Section Grade in SAH-LMS-CB-ConversationMessages-View.

Step 4 - Field to be retired will be deleted.

  • Instructor Name - has been replaced by Instructor Full Name.


New View Going to Production October 27: SAH-CollegeDetail-view

BIA and the SIS Reporting Project Team are excited to  release a new view that will allow a new way to report on students that change colleges.

Per our regular release for new views, SAH-CollegeDetail-View will remain in UAT for an extended period and go to Production in our October release in order to provide additional UAT time.
