Creating New/Ad Hoc Reports From the U-M Data Warehouse

The U-M Data Warehouse provides data sets that contain reformatted data for ad hoc queries; i.e., new queries which users define and write to obtain data to meet a specific need. The data comes from the M-Pathways systems, the Development/Alumni Constituency System, and the legacy administrative data systems. The Data Area pages have more information about the data sets, data dictionaries, and other data reporting documents.

Notes:

• Users can write an ad hoc query using a data set alone or in combination with other data sets in the Data Warehouse.
• BusinessObjects is the software application that is supported by MAIS for creating ad hoc reports.
• In addition to reports created from ad hoc queries, predefined reports are also available, which can be run as written or modified to meet special needs.
• Access to specific data sets is restricted to authorized individuals.
