Following on to this conversation. We are beginning the process of creating dashboards. Seems to be all the rage lately. However, the ones we will start with will be static until software is procured to allow dynamic drilling down into the data that is represented by the dashboard. As we all do, I have been scouring university websites for examples of the types of data and the general look and feel of the various dashboards schools are using. HOWEVER, most are internal to the institution and require login credentials to access. If possible and if willing, would those of you doing this well be willing to share some screen shots of your general look and feel of your dashboards with the rest of us? Imitation is the best form of flattery??????

Thanks.

Hi Todd,

At the University of Kentucky we use Tableau and have created an online data portal for faculty, staff, and students to access this information. Tableau offers free trials if you would like to try it out. A very user friendly application that doesn’t require coding or programming. While tableau would be able to directly connect with PeopleSoft, it is better to have the data go into a data warehouse if you have one. This helps with performance.

Attached is a graphic of what our table of contents currently looks like. We will be launching version two of the portal in the next couple of months.

I wanted to ask the list what software or programs any schools may be using to create dashboards, charts, and/or reporting functions for the dissemination of sponsored research data? And specifically those schools that may use Peoplesoft for the Pre- and Postaward functions. We are looking for ideas, options and ways to be able to present data to faculty and administration in a "live" and user-friendly way -

Thanks, Todd.
