Background for Views

You can use Views to display the data that you have in the Anthology Student database. Views is a feature unique to Anthology Student. You create Views in grid and chart formats containing data from most of the modules in Anthology Student (such as the Contact Manager and Financial Aid module).

For example, you can create Views that enable you to:

  • Quickly access the data that you refer to frequently
  • Track and complete your work faster
  • Compile and analyze data more efficiently

You can create a view using all of the related data available in the database. Once saved, the Views are available on demand and can be pinned to the Views page for quick and easy access.

For example, program data from Admissions is related to data from Academic Records because:

  • A prospect becomes a student
  • A student is associated with a program

You can include the program data from Academic Records in an Admissions view because it is related.

Data Available in Views

In the current release, Views can access the most commonly used data and any of its related data in the following modules.

  • Academic Records
  • Admissions
  • Career Services
  • Contact Manager
  • Financial Aid
  • Student Accounts
  • Student Services

The data in views and lists is automatically filtered so that the data displayed is for the campuses (CampusIds) that are associated with your user ID. For example, if your user ID is associated with three campuses, the views and lists will contain data for those three campuses.

View Types

While a view refers to a collection of data, a view type is the format used to display the data. The table explains the view types and the icons that you can use to distinguish between them. Reports are no longer supported.

View Type Description Icon
Chart Displays the view in a chart. Icon for the pie chart.
Grid Displays the view in a grid. Icon for a grid.

When a view is predefined and installed with Anthology Student, the name will be prefixed with Anthology -.

Once you have created a view, you can easily switch between the view types.

Standard Views Installed With Anthology Student

Standard views are installed with Anthology Student so that you have examples to review and views that you can use immediately. Standard Views cannot be deleted, removed, or renamed like the custom Views that you create, except if you have System Administrator access.

Standard Views are prefixed with Anthology -.

Expand the following sections to view tables listing the names of the standard Views, the audience, the type of data included, and whether the view is available as a grid, chart, or both.
