Navigate Reports

Navigate offers a range of reporting features to gather care unit data and student information over a certain period of time. Not everyone has access to all of these reports, so please keep in mind that access may vary. These can all be found under the "Reporting" icon on the left-hand side toolbar.

Note: The difference between a report and an advanced search is that a report can most often only be run for a certain period of time, such as a specific semester and includes pre-made columns of information that an advanced search does not have.

Note: The advanced search and reports can only accurately gather data for the past 2 years. It is NOT for gathering historical data. Navigate does house some historical data within "Analytics" and "Institutional Reports" . Access to these can be requested on a case by case basis.

Pre-Made Reports (NEW)

Navigate now has the ability to generate pre-made reports that are accessible via a link. To utilize these pre-made reports, first login to Navigate. Then, simply select the link to the report you are interested in below and edit the existing example to reflect the criteria you are interested in. Note: Not everyone has access to all reports, so report access may vary. If you have any questions please email navigatehelp@southernct.edu.

Now you can enter your desired search criteria. I.e. your care unit, location and date range.  You also have the ability to filter the results further by using Student Area of Study, Information, Performance Data or Term Data filters.

In general, this report runs very similar to an advanced search and all search criteria found in an advanced search are also found in this report. The Students report however has the ability to search for ANDs, ORs, contains, does not contain, is empty, is not empty and more. These advanced filters available in the Students report open up many more reporting possibilities that the advanced search does not have.

Next, you can specify the major(s), degree(s) and/or concentration(s) you'd like to run the report for. To ensure the students are current and enrolled, be sure to add field "Concentrations" for freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. This will ensure both UG students and enrollment in the selected term. Once you've added these, select "Run Report".

First, when checking who has been assigned an advisor, you will want to exclude all students who are enrolled in INQ 101 and HON 150 for the current term, because these students will be first year students that should not be assigned a major advisor yet. To do this add the following course filters.

Screenshot of course filters.

Notice the from and to term are the same (i.e. the "In Term" is the current term) and that the "Condition" is "is not".

Second, you will want to exclude current Early College students who are enrolled in your major(s) for the future term. They do not need to be assigned advisors, since they are not currently in the major. To do this, add the "Categories" field with condition "does not contain any" for value "Early College". This will ensure that Early College students who were admitted into your program for Spring are excluded from your search.

Third, you will want to exclude Graduate students. To do so add the "Classification" field for the current term with condition "contains any" for values "freshman", "sophomore", "junior", "senior". This will ensure UG students in addition to ensuring student enrollment in the selected term.

Fourth, you can filter specific major(s) you are interested in by adding the field "Major" for condition "contains any" and then listing any major(s) under the value. After selecting the desired major(s), select "Run Report" and a list of all students satisfying these requirements will appear.

You can then export the list to excel by selecting the download icon from the menu on the right-hand side of the report results.

You will notice that this report includes columns of information that you do not need. When you go to export the data to excel, a pop-up will appear giving you the option to select only the columns that you are interested in before exporting. “Assigned Staff” is the column that lists each student’s assigned advisor. 

Note: Students with secondary major advisors, or minor advisors will also have those advisors listed under "Assigned Staff".

The Student Enrollments report can be used to find a list of students along with their classes, professors, midterm/final grades, etc. for a specified semester.

For all midterm/final grades for a specific group of students by major/degree/concentration, first sign into Navigate then click HERE for a pre-made template. Simply change the enrollment term, major, degree and concentration to the group you are interested in finding final/midterm grades for and select Run Report.

Note: This report will list each student the number of times that they are in classes. Meaning if a student was enrolled in 4 classes, their name would appear 4 times.

If you are in an office where you need to enter student worker availability within Navigate, you will need to follow these steps to do so. Before following these steps, note that you need to have special access to enter availability for your student workers. If you cannot do the below, it is most likely because you do not have the proper permissions.

Step 1. Navigate to the Reporting page. The reporting icon is the one that looks like a spreadsheet with a magnifying glass on the left-side toolbar. 

Step 2. Select the “Availabilities Report" under “Standard Reports”.

Screenshot of standard reports page.

Step 3. Add the Care Unit that you are adding student worker availability to as the first "Field". In our example, we will use Orientation and Transition. Then, select "Run Report". 

Screenshot of availability report filters in Navigate.

Step 4. Once you run the report, you will see a list of availabilities within the care unit.

If adding availability to an existing student worker, select the three lines next to their name and then "New Availability". 

If adding availability to a new student worker, select the three lines next to any availability and then "Copy Availability".

Screenshot of actions menu options within availability report.

Step 5. Now, you will see the following box appear. If adding to a new student worker,  under the “Select Staff” you can type the last name of the student worker you are adding time for and then select their name from the list. Once the student worker is selected, you add the availability the same way you would for an ordinary availability. To see details on how to add times, see the "Creating Availability" section here. Make sure you select the appropriate care unit location and service for your student workers.

Note: If there are times and days that are different, you will have to create multiple availabilities.
