Modifying Regulatory Reporting Reports, Queries, and Views
If you wish, you can modify any of the IPEDS reports provided by default on the Report tab of the Regulatory Reporting window.
Open the Regulatory Reporting window.
Click the Report tab.
Click the Customize button, and click OK to the message that is displayed.
Once the report opens, immediately choose File > Save As and add your initials or some other identifier to the end of the report name. This addition keeps your changes from being overwritten the next time the Customize button is clicked.
Note that the reports are based on views and that a level of sophistication is needed to make major changes to these reports.
Modifying the Web Import File requires multiple steps.
First, you must customize the Original J1 query as described above.
Each of the queries selects a View that returns the Key Value Pairs needed so that you can import data when you are logged in to the IPEDS website.
If you wish to change the View, you must rename the View and then have your customized "r_ir_ipeds_grs_g1_2_1_uhe" query reference your renamed View.
If you make changes, be sure that you still maintain the argument and output of the query.
