Welcome to Cal Answers
Cal Answers makes it easy for the campus to access information from multiple campus systems on a range of subjects, including finance, payroll, PI portfolio, human resources, curriculum, student applicants, and student demographics and outcomes. With the Cal Answers dashboards, you can quickly locate reliable consistent answers to critical questions.
Cal Answers Subject Areas, Dashboards and Reports
Within each subject area, there are dashboards. The dashboards use a set of data to provide multiple reports, each with a different focus. These dashboard reports make it quick and easy for you to get answers for the most frequently used analyses.
Ad Hoc Analysis
The Cal Answers dashboard reports are a quick and easy way to extract the most frequently requested data from Berkeley’s data warehouse. However, there will be times when you have a data need that cannot be fulfilled from the dashboard reports. For example, you might need to combine columns from different data sources or create new columns to segment and summarize your data. In these cases, you can use the ad hoc functionality to create a unique query and report.
