This project aims to develop a customizable template for generating user-friendly graphics in standard formats. Users can select a graphic type (dynamic charts) and a data set (such as monitoring, modeling, emissions, etc.) to load into a pre-defined Excel/Access template. The template can be run on the web or downloaded as a file for customization. This concept offers more options than individually programming tools, and templates can be easily modified or replaced by the TSS team.

User selects a graphic type (dynamic charts, but not dynamic maps) User selects data set (monitoring, modeling, emissions, etc.) TSS loads selected data fields into a pre-defined Excel/Access template Template can be “run” on the web to produce one or more graphics with selected data – process is transparent to user Template can be downloaded as an Excel/Access file so the user can customize graphics (scales, colors, formatting, etc.) Concept
Many tools can be created fairly easily – more options available than relying on programming individual tools Templates can be modified/replaced by the TSS team easily Templates will generate user-friendly graphics in standard formats User upload of data to the template is possible User created templates may also be possible Rationale
