Configuring SIA Presentation Hierarchy in RPD

In Student Information Analytics (SIA), the following presentation hierarchies are implemented in the default delivery of the Student Information Analytics module.

  • Hierarchy -1 : Academic Year -> Academic Term

  • Hierarchy -2 (Sub-Plan hierarchy) : Academic Institution -> Academic Career -> Academic Program -> Academic Plan -> Academic Sub Plan

  • Hierarchy -3 (Plan hierarchy): Academic Institution -> Academic Career -> Academic Program -> Academic Plan

  • Hierarchy -4 (Program hierarchy) : Academic Institution -> Academic Career -> Academic Program

Hierarchy-1 doesn't require any configuration. However, Hierarchy-2, 3 and 4 require certain configurations as per the customer preference / customer data.

The sub-plan hierarchy has been created based on the sub plan dimension which is basically a subset of academic plan dimension. If a customer has fact data till the sub plan level for all the fact rows, then the default Sub-Plan hierarchy will work properly and it doesn't require any configuration.

However, if you determine that in your data all fact rows will have data at least to the academic plan level, and academic sub plan information is optional, then you should use Academic Plan hierarchy (which is already present in the BMM layer).

To configure the sub-plan hierarchy (Similar steps can be adopted to configure the plan and program hierarchies.):

  1. Delete the "SIA Academic Subplan" hierarchy from presentation layer under Academic Institution presentation table.
  2. Drag and drop the "SIA Academic Plan" hierarchy from the BMM layer to Academic Institution presentation table of a specific subject area.
  3. Drag and drop the following presentation columns to the respective presentation hierarchy levels of Academic Plan presentation hierarchy.

However, if you determine that in your data all fact rows will have data at least to the academic program level, and academic sub plan and plan information are optional, then you should use Academic Program hierarchy (which is also present in the BMM layer).

However, if you want to use Academic Career hierarchy, then you must create it first. Academic Career hierarchy is deployed by default, and is requires a customization.
