What is the source of this information?
Active Student Basic Dashboard is using the Tableau Active Student data sourceThe primary source of these data is the PeopleSoft Student system. This data source is a close replica of an existing Cognos “St Active Student Query” package and is built from the student data mart (UD_DATA). Student data mart, in turn, pulls data from PeopleSoft and is a day behind: the data available today in data mart and Active Student data source is is copied, transformed, and loaded into the data warehouse nightly, and subsequently loaded onto the Tableau Server as the Active Student Tableau Data Source. Data available today reflects yesterday’s PeopleSoft data. New data entered in PeopleSoft today will be in student mart and Active Student data source and dashboard tomorrow.
