Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn’t my assessment data showing up in the HelioCampus platform?

In most cases, assessment data is missing because it has not yet been imported or integrated from the source system. Check that:

  • The data source is configured and active

  • The most recent data load has completed successfully

Check with the Institution’s internal HelioCampus or data governance contact to review configuration and load status, and, if needed, escalate to HelioCampus support with detailed examples.

Click to expand...
  • Confirm the data exists and is correct in the source system.

  • Verify that the correct term, program, and filters are being looked at

  • Check whether the most recent scheduled data load has run.

How long does it take for new assessment data to appear after it’s entered in the source system?

This depends on the Institution’s integration schedule. New assessment data may not be visible in the platform until the next scheduled import completes.

Could assessment data be filtered out due to configuration settings?

Yes. Data can be excluded based on configuration choices such as:

  • Term or date ranges

  • Specific assessment types or categories

  • Program, level, or campus filters

What if only some assessments are missing but others appear correctly?

Partial gaps usually indicate:

  • Certain assessments or instruments were not mapped during setup

  • New assessments were added in the source system after the initial configuration

  • There is an issue with a specific file or data feed related to those assessments

Can permissions or roles prevent a user from seeing certain assessment data?

Yes. If a user role does not grant access to particular programs, departments, or student groups, related assessment data may not be visible even though it exists in the platform.

Could data quality issues in the source system cause assessments to be missing?

Yes. Common data quality issues include:

  • Missing or invalid identifiers (e.g., student IDs, course IDs)

  • Mismatched term codes or dates

  • Incomplete records that fail validation during the load

What happens to assessment data added after the assessment end date?

Any data added after the end date/completion of an assessment will not be reflected in the results. Assessment results are considered final once an assessment is completed. To include new data collected after the end date, assessments can be reopened via the Assessment Homepage.
