Using it the first time
Logging into Campus Data Warehouse the first time can be overwhelming because it logs you into a view with all available dashboards for your security role. This can be confusing on where to start.
Instead, we suggest favoriting the Navigation and Help dashboard the first time you log in, which will change the initial view in subsequent Campus Data Warehouse uses.
Once you’ve logged in, enter the word “Navigation” in the search bar on the upper right then click the magnifying glass icon.
Click on the star next to the Navigation and Help dashboard:
The next time you log into Campus Data Warehouse you’ll be taken to the favorites screen where you can select the Navigation and Help dashboard instead of seeing the list of all dashboards.
Pro Tip: Any dashboards or visualizations that you use regularly can be favorited and will also show on this login screen.

Pro Tip: You can use the Topic navigation box on the left to filter out the topics of dashboards you are or are not interested in. It will show only the dashboards from the topics list that are checked.
