The Section Analytics tab in X25 draws data directly from your student information system (SIS) via the LYNX Interface. From here you can analyze patterns in your academic data without lifting a finger.
This page is designed to give you a chance to review your classes before importing anything to 25Live. You can also use it for classes you wouldn't normally import, such as sections that are strictly taught online.
Section analytics reports reflect live data: as soon as you refresh a report, you'll see the latest updates from your SIS.
Selecting a Term Code
Rather than dividing events into projects and snapshots, the section analytics page pulls term codes directly from your SIS.
From the Select link in the left-hand menu, choose any number of terms to analyze:
- Filter term codes using the search box
- Select desired terms with the checkbox
- Use the X next to a selected term's name to remove it (or empty the checkbox)
Once you have selected your terms, this will unlock the Reports header so you can use the reports listed below.
Selecting an Instance
If your institution has multiple LYNX or 25Live Live instances associated with X25, you may have the opportunity to select those instances before you select a term code.

If presented with the option, choose a LYNX instance corresponding to your SIS database. Most schools have only one SIS database connected to 25Live, so the selection is made automatically. If you have more than one option, choose the code matching the SIS where you wish to view data.
Then, if you also have more than one associated 25Live instance, you may choose one before continuing to select term codes.
These choices can better target your analytics for more precise reporting.
Select Filters (optional)
Filter your data even further by selecting from specific Institutions, Regions, Campuses, Colleges and Statuses.

Choosing a Report
Use the dropdown menu in the Reports header to choose how you want to analyze your data.
In addition, to report choices, X25 provides an Overview view in the left-column menu.
