About System Administration and The Insights Hub Integration

About System Administration 

System Administration is Watermark's module for clients to centrally load and manage common core data from their student information system (SIS) or learning management system (LMS). This data will be distributed to the connected product(s) for use in workflows and reporting. Currently System Administration is connected with Watermark’s Planning & Self-Study, and Student Learning & Licensure* products, as well as the Insights Hub for centralized Home and Insights.

Please note that not all clients with Student Learning & Licensure are integrated with System Administration. If unsure whether Student Learning & Licensure is integrated, please contact support@watermarkinsights.com.

*We anticipate upgrading most Student Learning & Licensure Institutions in 2025.

Insights Hub Data from System Administration

Currently the Insights Hub does not leverage all data that can be integrated and managed from System Administration. If the institution does not use System Administration for Planning & Self-Study or Student Learning & Licensure, the data management task in System Administration is limited in scope to Institution, Programs, and People at this time. As the Insights Hub grows in its Insight and Integrations, data management tasks may expand.

Organizations: At this time, the Insights Hub only uses the top Institution organization to connect users and insights from other products. Creating other organizations will not reflect in the Insights Hub at this time. This will change in the next year as we bring in insights for department chairs and deans.

Programs: Programs and program curriculum data is only beneficial to institutions in the Insights Hub when they are licensing Student Learning & Licensure that is integrated with System Administration. Managing programs and program curriculum creates Program level insights on student assessment. This will change in the next year as we bring in insights program chairs from other Watermark solutions.

People: The Insights Hub requires creation of a person with an assigned Insights Hub role to access the Insights Hub. Currently people can be created manually or in bulk. During initial testing, we recommend manually assigning roles to the faculty and administrators required to test the Insights Hub at this time.

Other Data Objects
The Insights Hub does not yet use other Organizations, Terms, Courses, Course Sections, Course Section Enrollments, Cohorts, or Cohort Enrollments. The Insights Hub is also not actively using People Attributes for Insights reporting by demographics. As the Insights Hub grows in its Insight and Integrations, data management tasks may expand.
