Reducing Redundancy: Retiring the “How Many” Reports
March 28, 2025
To reduce redundancy in the BI Portal catalog, we have retired six academic reports in favor of more robust Tableau dashboard alternatives. These reports were officially retired on March 27, 2025.
The following table outlines the retired reports and their recommended alternatives:
| Retired Report | Alternative Tableau Dashboard |
|---|---|
| How Many Degrees by College | |
| How Many Credit Hours by College | |
| How Many Students by Department | |
| How Many Students by College | |
| How Many Students by Campus | |
| How Many Students at the University |
Why Use These Dashboards?
- Comprehensive Data Coverage: Dashboards use census day data, providing a snapshot of student enrollment and credit hours at a fixed point each quarter for consistent comparisons.
- Flexible Visualization Options: View data in graphical or tabular formats.
- Customizable Insights: Use filters on the left and breakdowns on the right to explore data.
- Export to Excel: Click the download icon (top-right) and select “Crosstab” to export.
