  10. Recent Advances • Surface the data on the web via SAS BI tools – Web Report Studio (WRS) (IR waited for cascading parameters to be available!) • Provide data for all programs, not just programs under review • Auto-populate the self-study templates • Graphs and charts are now developed in Web Report Studio not in EG

  11. Old Way

  12. New Way • Update filters to reflect new reporting cycle

  13. The Magic Behind the Scenes Official data is loaded to Data Warehouse each term SAS Information Maps create a view of the data designed for a purpose SAS Web Report Studio graphically surfaces the data on the web

  14. New Maintenance Routine • Data prep: run an EG project once a year and Roll forward one cohort in each report by updating filters (Feb) • Request refreshed data to UAPS (Projections – May), UAPS does it by replacing table • Generate reports: preliminary (Apr); final (Aug) for programs under review

  15. New Program Review CyclePreparation • University Community has access now! 1H

  26. Limitations • Security - Program Review in the portal is limited to select users. Consultants must have access to data outside the portal. IR must make .pdf versions and post to a location outside this firewall so they have easy access • Design - SAS has not yet designed prompts that apply to the entire report. The user must respond to prompts on each tab
