Critical Concepts


Pre-Joined Data

Degree Applications vs Degree Awarded

  • Degree Applications must be submitted before a Degree is awarded, but not all applications are approved

  • Degree Applications and Degree Awards come from two different systems. These systems are not designed to align.

  • Degree Application Status is from the Degree Applications tool and only applies to the applications

  • Degree Status is from the SIS tool and only applies to degrees that are awarded

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.

The LOD on degree view is degree per student and "Award Sequence Identifier" comes into play when multiple degrees are awarded.
