Student Details

The Student Details table is a dimension table that stores information concerning student details. It contains information only when the institution has opted into the Student Success Measurements Service, tracking individual student information.

  • Many institutions store information about individuals, including personal details and information about their activities. Due to privacy concerns, some institutions are required to anonymize the data on a regular basis.
  • Alma offers the option to delete such user information for fulfillment and resource sharing activities. The information is deleted for activities that have been completed, such as completed loans, closed fines and fees, or resource sharing borrowing requests.
  • You can configure Alma to delete the more specific information (for example, User ID) and retain the more general user information (for example, User Group and Job Title).
  • The information that is not anonymized can be included in Analytics reports.

Alma User Details Page - General Information

Institution

The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. If an analytics report is run from the Network Zone in a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, all member institutions are included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name. If an analytics report is run from an institution that is not part of a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, only the single institution from which the report is run is included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name.

Reports involving data across a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone may take longer to run than reports within one institution.
