Have a dashboard design idea that could benefit users University-wide? Do you need to answer questions or streamline your business processes in a way that isn’t quite addressed by the Enterprise Dashboards? Submit a help ticket with your thoughts and let us know how this would be a great way to serve your School, Office, and others! Click here to open a case with the Help Desk.

A design sprint is a framework for answering critical business questions by designing, prototyping, and testing ideas with users. You can do this over the course of one day or break it up across multiple days.

  • Understand and define the problem

  • Sketch out solutions and decide the best path forward

  • Wrap up with a team retrospective and packaged “product”

REPORTS

When a user requests a new report, we share these within our *Student & *Financial project folders. Look for the Sample Reports folders in *Financial > Sample Reports and *Student > Sample Reports

These were requested by your colleagues – and may be helpful to you! You can edit the report for your needs and save it to any project folder where you have publishing permissions.

 

CUSTOM DASHBOARDS

The result of collaborations between the Analytics Team and University data users are found in the *Student > Custom Dashboard Examples. We will share workbooks as they are created. They are illustrative primers for new and innovative collaborations, as well as options for quick custom builds that may suit your business needs.

If interested in building something similar, submit a help ticket helpdesk@pitt.edu. Include a summary of how the dashboard will be used and a list of requirements.
