Data stored within Campus can be used to define, design, display, and report information needed for instruction, reports, and communications. Most elements visible in the user interface are available for inclusion in an Ad hoc filter, which can then be used to build custom reports, filter standard reports, filter advanced searches, and apply specific filters to many tools throughout Campus.
State Edition users can utilize the following Ad hoc tools:
| Tool/Article | Description |
|---|---|
| Batch Queue | The Batch Queue tool generates large, system-intense reports. It helps prevent report time-out errors and/or system performance issues. General system usage can continue while complex reports are generated in the background within the Batch Queue. |
| Data Export | The Data Export tool enables viewing results from Ad hoc filters applied to any school and calendar data within your state in various report formats. Any Ad hoc filters established through the Filter Designer can be utilized to generate a report with this tool. |
| Data Viewer | The Data Viewer is a user-friendly report-building tool that allows users to drag and drop fields into a real-time view of the report as it is being built. |
| Letter Builder | The Letter Builder tool allows users to combine Ad hoc filters with letters designed in the Letter Designer tool to generate specific letters based on a filtered dataset (such as a select set of staff or students). |
| Letter Designer | The Letter Designer allows you to create custom letters using a WYSIWYG editor. Once created, letter designs can be combined with filters and generated into targeted letters via the Letter Builder tool. |
| Filter Designer | The Filter Designer allows you to select nearly any data elements within the product and filter school and calendar data using these elements to view and report a select data set. These filters can then be saved and used to filter functionality throughout Campus. |
| Manage State Ad hoc Filters | Ad hoc filter publishing allows State Edition users to create and maintain Ad hoc filters that are automatically published to districts connected to the State Edition via DIS. This functionality lets you publish filters to connected districts, unpublish or remove State filters, and revise and republish filters back to districts as necessary. District users also have the ability to export Ad hoc filters into a file that can be imported into State Edition. |
| Pivot Designer | The Pivot Designer tool allows you to analyze, interpret, and visually present crossed-referenced data in easy-to-understand charts and graphs. |
