Data Hub is available to all Brightspace Core customers, but before you can use it you must ensure that you meet the expected platform requirements and have the correct configuration variables and permissions enabled. The data sets that you see in the Data Hub depend on your Brightspace configuration.
Data Hub platform requirements
Data Hub is compatible with Brightspace 10.7+.
The framework used to generate all CSV exports is the Data Export Framework, embedded in the Brightspace platform. All existing workflows to access and generate CSV exports from custom reports have been preserved.
Brightspace Data Sets are CSV extracts of data from Brightspace, available in the following regions:
Turn on the Data Hub tool
- From the Admin Tools menu, select Organization Tools.
- On the Tool Availability page, enable Advanced Data Sets, Brightspace Data Sets, and Custom Reporting Framework.
Data Hub configuration variables
The following configuration variables are related to Data Hub:
- d2l.Tools.AdvancedDataSets.ProgramOrgUnitTypeId (Org) - To use the Course Learning Outcome Evaluation (CLOE) Advanced Data Set (ADS) or Program Level Outcomes Evaluation (PLOE) Advanced Data Set (ADS), you must set this configuration variable to the org unit type ID that represents a program for an org.
- d2l.Tools.BrightspaceDataSets.QueueItemTTLHrs (Org) - This value specifies the Brightspace Data Set time to live inside the data sets queue.
- d2l.Tools.BrightspaceDataSets.Version (Org) - This value specifies the Brightspace Data Sets contract version. When a new Brightspace Data Set (BDS) version is released, you can change this configuration variable to test the new version. For more information about Brightspace Data Set (BDS) versions, refer to About Brightspace Data Sets.
- d2l.Tools.DataHub.DataExport.FilenamePattern - Specifies the pattern to use for generated Advanced Data Set (ADS) filenames. (Supported replacement strings: {orgId}, {orgUnitId}, {userId}, {userName}, {submitDate}, {reportId}, {reportName}, {defaultFileName}). Org administrators can view or edit this configuration variable. The default value is {reportName}-{submitDate}. This configuration variable and its values are migrated from the existing Custom Reporting Framework configuration.
Data Hub permissions
The following permissions are required:
- Custom Reporting Framework > Can see data hub (Organization level) controls the visibility of the Data Hub tool.
Note: You can set this permission at any level within the org, but the Data Hub tool can only be used at the org level and reports generated from within the Data Hub tool contain all org data.
- Brightspace Data Sets > Can Access Brightspace Data Sets (Organization level) controls the ability to see and download data.
Each Advanced Data Set has its own required permission that must be enabled before running the Advanced Data Set (ADS). These permissions are documented in About Advanced Data Sets.
