Making the Switch From Static to Dashboard Reporting

Abstract

Different from the traditional static reports, dynamic online reporting is more efficient to communicate findings to decision makers. Making the switch from traditional static reporting to new online interactive dashboards can be a daunting task. Participants in this session will learn about several large-scale national survey center projects that made the switch from static to dashboard reporting. Interactive discussions will focus on four topics: (1) motivations, internal and external, for implementing a switch to dashboard reporting; (2) advantages and successes in making the switch; (3) challenges, concerns, and potential solutions for moving to dashboards; and (4) resources that are useful for implementation and maintenance of dynamic reports. Join us for this discussion about making the transition from static to interactive online reporting and prepare to leave with a commitment to making the switch yourself!
