In the my.SDSU portal, staff with specific roles will be able to view and download reports, which are called Queries in my.SDSU. This guide will take you through the process of viewing any Query.

Note: The Query Viewer has a limitation on how much data can be displayed, so it may not be appropriate for all reports. Use the Query Scheduler for more complex queries. See the Query Scheduler guide for instructions on how to schedule a query.
