Advanced Search

Advanced Search is a powerful search function in CCNY Navigate that lets you create unique cohorts of students based on the layering of various search parameters. To access the Advanced Search filters, navigate to the Advanced Search magnifying glass icon on the left side toolbar.

The Advanced Search interface is utilized in several other features (Campaigns, Student Lists, etc.) so it is recommended that users become familiar with it. See the Suggested Searches section below for recommended searches and the parameters of each.  

Saved Searches allows users to save an Advanced Search without having to create the search each time. Once you save a search you will be able to access it form the "Saved Searches" drop-down menu on the Advanced Search page and it will be listed on the Lists & Saved Items page.

Campaigns

Campaigns let staff reach out to specific student populations and encourage them to take some action. There are two types of campaigns available to advisors:

• Appointment Campaigns: Allow staff to reach out to specific student populations and encourage them to schedule appointments. Appointment campaigns can be used to have students schedule an appointment with an individual advisor or sign up for an event. (Contact  navigatehelp@ccny.cuny.edu  if you need t create event services.)
• Messaging Campaigns: Allow staff to email or text a group of students on specified dates about things they need to do or activities they need to attend. This type of campaign has no objective, unlike Appointment so students receive all messages (SMS or email) in the campaign. 

Communication with Students through Navigate

Advisors have the ability to send email and text messages to students individually or in groups through CCNY Navigate.

It is important to keep in mind that all correspondence sent through the platform becomes a part of the student's educational record and is therefore covered by the Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA)

Memorializing Interactions with Students

One of the benefits of a coordinated care system, such as CCNY Navigate, is the ability to keep records of conversations with a student in one place.  Additionally this information, for the most part, is available to all users with a legitimate educational need to access it.  For example, a student's instructors and advisors will be able to access this information but a tutor or front desk person will not be able to.

There are two ways to memorialize interactions with students: Appointment Summaries and Notes

Appointment Summaries users to document information about a specific student appointment, whether the appointment was scheduled, a drop-in, or the student was a no-show. Each Care Unit has a unique appointment summary template.

Notes offer an additional mechanism to jot down information about a student, collaborate across campus, and create a record of information provided directly to the student. Notes are not tied to student appointments. 

Notifications and Cases

Notifications draw attention to students who may be at risk for a variety of reasons. Notifications are often issued based on information or behavior discovered during faculty/staff interactions with students. Notifications are the method by which faculty and staff can provide valuable feedback to students about their performance while providing information about valuable campus resources and/or important administrative offices. Faculty and staff can use Notifications to send kudos to students who are doing well! 

Cases are created by specific notification reasons that require more attention. A case will be assigned to a staff member for follow-up with the student in question. Once the case is closed, a notification will be sent to the faculty or staff member that issued the notification.

Reports

CCNY Navigate has a number of standard reports that allow administrators access to student-level data contained in the platform. The reports system was updated in 2023 to the latest version: V3. See the "Reports" section below for the list of available reports and information about the V3 system.

As a single source of consolidated data points, Navigate360 creates a unified analytics platform which links numerous campus stakeholders around student success challenges. EAB uses best practice data insights so your administrators can make informed decisions around student intervention strategies, such as improving student interactions and maximizing faculty and staff workflow.

EAB recently updated CCNY Navigate's reporting capabilities by introducing V-3 reports. V3 reports have advanced filtering options and new grid styling and functionality. These V3 reports will produce the same results as V-2 reports, which are still available for the time being. We do not currently have a date for their removal.

V-3 Reports

Getting Started with V-3 Reports

V-3 reports represent a complete overhaul of the reporting capabilities of CCNY Navigate. If you have use the older V-2 Reports or are new to reporting we recommend reviewing the V-3 Reports help center article. It is an incredibly introduction to using V3 Reports. Please peruse this article, familiarizing yourself with the Report Descriptions (what purpose does each report serve/what information can I get from this report), How to Build a V3 Report, What you can do with Report Results (export, pivot tables and charts, Navigate Actions, etc.), How to Save or Automate a Report, and more.

One of the major changes between the V2 and V3 versions of Navigate360 Reports is how queries are created. While the fields/filters used to create the queries are largely the same, the way they are put together is now more flexible and uses conditions in a way very similar to how they are used in Excel and/or Google Sheets reporting. Before diving in to setting up your own reports it is recommended that you review this Navigate Help Center Article: Understanding Conditions in V-3 Reports.

We understand that becoming familiar with a new feature can be overwhelming. To get you started, EAB has put together a V-3 Reports Starter Pack of commonly used reports and the filters you would use to build each.

V-2 Reports

V2 Reports are a more simple, less complex version of the V3 reports. When building V2 Reports they appear exactly like the Advanced Search feature that some of you may be familiar with using. If you have saved any V-2 reports, you can still access them through the "Saved Reports tab on the Reporting page. However, when V-2 reports are deprecated, they will no longer be available. If you are interested in learning more about V-2 reports we suggest this article.

To access the V2 Reports select the Reporting icon, then ‘Standard Reports’, and finally the “Click Here” link.
