Custom Report Builder - Student Surveys
Introduction
The report builder allows a FAEIS user to create custom
reports with the student enrollment data, degrees awarded data or the placement
data. All the data elements collected in the FAEIS surveys are available to create a custom report.
You can also create your own library of reports by storing the report formats for future use. With the
report builder you will currently have access to the data collected for the 2002-2005 survey years.
The FAEIS data collected between 1993 and 2000 is available from
the Research, Education, and Economics Information System (REEIS). From their
home page click on "Reports" and then "FAEIS".
Log In
To access the custom report builder you must have a FAEIS user ID and Password. If you do not
have a FAEIS ID, contact the FAEIS Help Desk by e-mail,
FAEIS@vt.edu or telephone, (540) 231-4941.
First, go to the FAEIS HomePage, then click on "View Reports/Data" and then
"Custom Report Builder". Next, enter your ID and Password.
Report Layout
You will probably want to first create the layout of your report. The report layout involves selecting
three main variables: one for the columns, one for the rows and the "By" variable. These selections are
made on the main page by selecting from pull down menus. The "By" variable creates a separate table for
each iteration of the variable. For example, if the "By" variable is degree levels, a table will be generated for
Associates, Baccalaureate, Masters, and Doctorate. If you use the "Toggle" feature with the "By" variable each
table will be displayed on a separate page.
You can only select one variable the rows. Columns can have subcolumns for either
gender or years.
When you have completed the layout selections, click on the "Set Rport" button.
Report Filters
Filters may be used to make a report more specific. For example, if you set the
filter to degree type and then select doctorate, your custom report will only include the doctorate students.
Surveys may be filtered by degree type, enrollment type, institution type, ethnicity, gender, program area,
academic areas, disciplines, CIP codes, or institutions.
To use a filter scroll to the bottom of the layout page and choose the type of filter and filter variables. When finished, select "Set Filters". To remove a filter, click on the "Clear" button.
Exporting a Report
Tables created with the custom Report Builder can be exported to a Excel spreadsheet or
a Word file. You will find these options with the set of clickable buttons at the top of the
page after the report is created.
Archiving Reports
After you have created a report you can archive the report by clicking on the "Store" button. When you store
a report you have the following options:
- To make the report public or restricting access to the report.
- Allow the report to the modified at a later time.
Archived reports are retrieved by clicking on the "List Reports" button.
