Creating a Dashboard Indicators Web Page

• A Customizable Template for a Dashboard
  Indicators Web Page

• One of the functions of an IR office is
  communicating information such as institutional
  performance indicators (i.e., graduation rates,
  SAT scores). One widely used example of
  presenting institutional information is the
  annual Fact book. However, performance
  indicators are more concise and targeted. In
  fact, some states require performance reporting
  for all public institutions. One of the most
  concise ways of presenting summary information on
  performance is by using a web page that resembles
  a dashboard. Like an autos dashboard, features
  such as color, directionality and buttons convey
  information to the user at a glance.

• Although an IR office may not generate the data
  behind all of the performance indicators or even
  make the choice of indicators, they are
  frequently asked to organize and present the
  information on the indicators status. The
  process of creating a web page for dashboard
  indicators can be complex and time-consuming.
  The initial steps of identifying which indicators
  to include and how to organize them can be
  daunting. However, once the administrators have
  identified a few performance indicators, the web
  page created by this template can be started and
  easily modified and expanded as indicators are
  changed or added. Participants will be shown how
  using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can simplify
  creation, modification and maintenance of the web
  page.
