Data Model Question
We are considering Performance+. I would like to know if the data model used by Performance+ the same as the Data Hub BDS or does it provide access to data that is not available in the Data Hub. I have not been able to get a straight answer. It already seems like the Advanced Data Sets are not using the same data model as…
Create Org Unit with Higherarchy Info in Analytics Builder
Hello, I am hoping to get some help on how to create something in Analytics Builder (Amazon Quicksights) where I can have all course offering org units as rows with their semester, department/program, and school parts of the hierarchy displayed as columns. In a simple form, this is what essentially I would want for the…
Analytics Builder Dashboard Alerts working?
Should the alerts be functioning on an Analytics Builder Dashboard? I keep getting an error that it cannot load them: There was an error fetching alerts. It even seems to let me create an alert, but then I the window still gives me this error, so I can't tell if it really was created or not.
SCORM Visits 9: is there meant to be more than one visit per user per SCORM?
My understanding of the SCORM Visits 9 dataset is that it should have a unique visit id each time the user visits the SCORM. My intuition defines a "visit" as the interactions between a user opening a SCORM and SCORM session being closed or timing out. However, the dataset almost exclusively (with 3 seemingly-random…
Set User Grade - Calculated in Grade Objects Log in a course with no grade book set up
I'm trying to create a data flow to determine which courses are actively using the grade book.

Organizational Unit…
Spice vs Direct
In Analytics Builder, what is the difference between a SPICE and DIRECT query? Are there cases where one is better than the other?
Group assignments - Identifying non-submitters
Hi, We're just looking into building an Insights/Domo report to identify students that have not submitted assignments. We use Release Conditions and Special Access so in order to work out who hasn't submitted we need to know who is eligible to submit, so this is not necessarily every student on the Class List. We can work…
Outcomes Aligned to Tool Objects no longer including all outcomes?
I had been using the Outcomes Aligned to Tool Objects dataset in my SQL query to re-create the Mastery View since there is no easy way to export that table from within D2L. However, this dataset now seems to be missing many outcomes. Has anyone else noticed that this has changed? Some outcomes are no longer logged under an…
BDS Version 10
Is there documentation anywhere of the specific changes that are coming in v10 of BDS? The update from v8 - v9 was very time intensive for us, so any clue to the extent of the changes before they go into effect would be very helpful.
