June 2025 Update

Home Page Updates

As part of a home page cleanup, the updates were made. Our goal was to make the data on the home page more consistent and more relevant for the majority of users.

  • Recent Activity is now “Recent Items” …
    • The recent activity that was previously displayed on the home page had a conglomeration of several different activity types. Now the section has been renamed "Recent Items" and acts very similar to the “Favorites.”
    • It is a subset of the data included in the Your Data section of Campus Data.
    • Clicking on Details will take you to the full list of items you’ve recently viewed in the Your Data section of Campus Data.
  • List of Teams has been removed … 99% of people who use Campus Data aren’t on a team, so it wasn’t helpful to the vast majority of users.

Recommended For You

Upon login, Campus Data will identify the user’s institutional role(s). If there are any published “Portals” in Campus Data recommended for that role, it will display those portals in a new section entitled “Recommended for You” that appears immediately below the Featured Items on the home page.

Exclude Discoverable Items on the Find Screen

Users now have the ability to “opt out” of being shown items they don’t actually have access to (i.e. items they’re seeing ONLY because they’re discoverable). This will be helpful for users who do not have access to a lot of items, and do not want 90% of their search results to prompt them to request access.

  • By default, the “discoverable” check box is checked and the user will see items they don’t have access to, but which are discoverable.
  • Unchecking the box will hide all items the user does not currently have access to.

Indicate Who Made a CDR Entry

Previously, when team members made an update to a support request in Campus Data, it wasn’t possible to tell who on the team made the update. Now the HawkID of the person who replied/updated the ticket will appear.

New Data Formats

Publishers now have the ability to identify their Campus Data items with two new data formats so it’s easier for users to tell what type of content they’re using.

  • MAUI – items that are actually MAUI ASPX / application pages, rather than reports stored on a BI platform.
  • Web – a web URL that is NOT part of a reporting platform.

ADMINS: More Options for Retiring/Deleting Items

Admins now have more options than a simple delete.

  • Now instead of just “delete” admins have the option to “retire” items and provide a link to a new / replacement item.
  • If team admins do decide to delete an item, the item now includes a link to the support alias for the team, so they’re not at a dead end.
  • Admins also have the option to “unretire” or “recover” items that have been previously retired or deleted.

June 2024 Update

Campus Data now allows publishers to create portals: custom super-collections of Campus Data data items, FAQs, Documentation and Announcements. This provides publishers the ability to curate content in a "one stop" solution for all users in a role or organization. View the Portal Guide for more information on how to create a portal.

April 2024 Update

Security Updates:

  • Security configuration has been streamlined to make easier and less error-prone.
  • Campus Data Team Groups now have Healthcare accounts! When publishers add a user to their Campus Data Team Group, both their IOWA domain account and HEALTHCARE domain account will be synced into the Campus Data Team Group!

September 2021 Update

To further streamline support within Campus Data, questions on existing articles will be directed to the publishing team's standard support process via email. This will get your question in front of the right people the fastest. Campus Data Requests (or CDR's) will only be created for:

  • The Campus Data related questions / bug reports.

  • Automated Access Requests (which require a CDR to coordinate the connection with Universal Workflow).

February 2019 Update

The Campus Data team realized that support requests aren't particularly visible in Campus Data, and therefore have a tendency to go stale. Unless users experience timely answers their questions and requests, they're unlikely to trust Campus Data as a source of reporting data for their needs. On that basis, several updates to Support Requests were delivered this month.

  • The Campus Data team now has an administrative dashboard where the status of all active requests is visible.

  • Everyone with a support role on a team will receive a weekly email reminder if that team has active support requests pending.

  • Support requests that sit for 90 days with no activity will be closed out and the user will be directed to contact directly the users who have a support role on that team.

January 2019 Update

The Campus Data team released enhancements to the routing available in the automated workflow. Previously, the data team and the user's direct supervisors were the only approval routing options. As of this release, the following options have been added:

  • Skip-level supervisor
  • Institutional Roles

In addition, custom instructions can now be added at the security group level or individual data item level, making it possible to provide more robust instructions both for the user submitting the request, as well as the approvers approving the request.

December 2018 Update

As of December 2018, MAUI Reports now use campus data for publishing.

September 2018 Update

Campus Data now allows publishers to publish data sources in addition to standard data items. To facilitate the new data type, a new role - that of Data Steward - was also added. Data Stewards approve access requests for data sources.

October 2017 Update

Users leaving the University of Iowa or changing Org/Dept are automatically de-provisioned. (Aligns to MAUI security/de-provisioning process.)

December 2016

Terms of Use can be configured and required for each security group or data item. If enabled, users must accept terms of service before being granted access.

October 2016 Update

  • Automated FERPA check enabled.
  • Created the ability to manage AD groups inside Campus Data
  • Users can request access and gain approval via Universal Workflow with Optional Supervisor & Team Approval
