Use the Query Viewer
Introduction
The Query Viewer allows select SPIRE for Staff users to run pre-built queries, view results online, and download data to their desktop, using an intuitive graphical interface.
This handout illustrates how to use the Query Viewer with the Undergraduate Query (a.k.a. UR89_DEPT_MJRS_NEW), the query providing contact and academic information for students majoring in an academic department. The same procedure applies to other SPIRE queries for staff, unless otherwise noted. Refer to the Available Queries handout to get a list of queries currently available to SPIRE for Staff users.
Protect Query Data
The student information you obtain by running the Undergraduate Query falls under the FERPA (Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act) guidelines. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of this information and protect it against accidental release. If you often download query results to your desktop, we recommend that you:
.. Create a password for the account you use to log on to your computer.
.. Place your machine in a physically secure location (where the hardware cannot be removed).
