The software is used by a range of professional service divisions across the School to create content and present data. These include: Planning Division, TQARO, HR, EDI, PAGE and Careers amongst others. Data hosted on Tableau Server is largely historic trend data rather than live operational data, reporting of which is more commonly hosted within operational software such as Salesforce or ResourceLink.
Tableau Server is available both on-campus and off-campus when connected via the School’s VPN).
Tableau Server is not a default application for all staff. Staff are normally given access either in relation to their post' (e.g. Heads of Department will be given access by default); or when the need arises in relation to their role, (e.g., Committee Members will be given access when dashboards are produced for a specific activity such as the School’s Access and Participation Plan).
A wide range of data is presented including Departmental Profiles which include Student numbers, School Survey results, Staff Headcount and Turnover, Graduate Outcomes results, League Table performance etc. A full list of the dashboards available on Tableau can be found here: Note that some dashboards will be restricted to specific user groups.
