Decision Support

Get Help > 1-on-1 Assistance

Join the DS specialists in Finance, Student, and HR each month to work through your reporting needs. In these walk-in sessions you can practice what you’ve learned and receive individualized help in building reports to meet your business needs.

Whether you’d like to test out reporting ideas, explore the universes in more depth, or try combinations of data elements with the assistance of Decision Support specialists, Data Warehouse Practice Lab sessions are an easy way to learn more about the Data Warehouse. Bring ideas for reports you wish to build, problems you have been experiencing, or questions about data elements and optimal reporting strategies. The labs are open to all users.
