This article provides an overview of how to effectively navigate the Students Dashboard.
The Students Dashboard includes values from the Students and Student Audits collections.
You can build and export custom reports by adding filters, as well as save these views for future easy access.
You can view individual students’ “Courses Applied” from this view.
Saved views created in the Students Dashboard will be available as Student Datasets to select from for term-specific insights within “Analytics Configuration”.
The Students Dashboard is helpful for performing data validation prior to reviewing insights for a new term.

Overview
The Students Dashboard will include all Students and Student Audits in Coursedog.
Each student is contained within their own row and is separated from other students with a line.
If a student has more than one Student Audit associated with them, the data from their multiple audits will be contained within their row.
Student ID and SIS ID are scrambled in Coursedog. If you would like to unscramble a student’s ID, please reach out to your Coursedog representative or support.
Adding Filters
You can filter down the students returned by clicking “Filters” and adding filters.
You can filter by Active Terms, Levels, Goal Degrees, and Student IDs.
Exporting Results
You can export custom reports that take into account the displayed filters.
Simply select “Export Results” to download your custom CSV.

Overview | Creating a Saved View | Accessing Saved Views
Overview
You can create saved views to quickly access the information you need and to create student datasets for insights. See below for more information on student datasets.
Saved views will automatically apply the combination of filters configured at the time you save the view to the dashboard.
Creating a Saved View
To save the combination of columns and filters:
Step 1: Select “Saved Views” in the upper-right corner.
Step 2: Select “Save Current View”.
Step 3: Give your view a descriptive name to easily access it in the future.
Accessing Saved Views
If you would like to apply a previously saved view, select “Saved Views” in the upper right corner.
This will return all of the saved views that you created.
You can search or sort by “Name” or “Creation Date”.
You can delete saved views by selecting the red trash can icon.
Creating Student Datasets for “Student Overview” Insights
Overview
Saved views in the Students Dashboard have a secondary critical function in Course Demand Projections (CDP).
All saved views will be displayed in the “Students Dataset” select field within Academic Operations Analytics > Settings > Analytics Configuration > Student Dataset Select.
The students included in the selected saved view will be the students visible within the “Students Overview” on a course in the given term.
Recommendations
Saved views created to be used as student datasets should include all students the institution expects to be enrolled in the given term.
Typically this group consists of students that share an active term with the relevant scheduling term, or an active term within a year prior to the relevant scheduling term. For example, if I am preparing insights for Fall 2024, I would create a saved view of students where Active Term is Fall 2024, Summer 2024, Spring 2024, or Fall 2023.
Viewing Students’ Courses Applied
Overview
From the Students Dashboard you can view individual student’s courses applied.
To do this, simply select the student in the dashboard view.
If the student has courses applied in their audit data, these courses will be displayed here.
