Editor's Notes
- #5: Dashboard tools should allow you to make the dashboard custom to your audience’s needs.
- #10: Initial view of the Public Enrollment Dashboard. You can see enrollment by term, admit type, residency, etc. Each chart is interactive and linked. Selecting an element on one chart will modify the other charts to highlight the common subset of data selected.
- #11: In this view, we are looking at Enrollment by Term and College, with Counties and ZIP Codes displayed. From here, you can select a ZIP code on the map to see what the past four terms of enrollment were, as well as to which college the students from Hammonton were enrolled.
