Over the last year, Leader Insights has been launched as a Watermark Lab, intending to quickly provide Leaders with insights across Planning & Self-Study and Student Learning & Licensure. As a result of client feedback, and in an effort to improve the usability, we have made the following critical enhancements in the Leader Insights area as we prepare to incorporate additional insights. These changes at a high level include modifying the navigation of existing Planning & Self-Study widgets into two main areas: Institution and Continuous Improvement. Within the Continuous Improvement area, we have added the ability to select the Academic Reporting Year, which provides the ability to view more plan progress beyond the current reporting year.
Usability Enhancements to Leader Insights - Planning & Self-Study Insights
To prepare for expanded Insights in the coming months, the Leader Insights “Academic Year” navigation has been split into two new areas: Institution and Continuous Improvement.
The Institution area includes the two existing Planning & Self-Study widgets: Mission & Outcomes Definition and Programs Mapped To Institutional Learning Outcomes. No changes were made to the widgets themselves.
The Continuous Improvement area includes the existing Planning & Self-Study widget, Participation in Assessment Planning.

Expanded Continuous Improvement Monitoring - View Plans from Past or Future Academic Years
Within the Continuous Improvement area, leaders can now modify the academic year selected beyond the current year. This provides leaders and administrators with the ability to monitor plans related to past or upcoming years in the Participation in Assessment Planning widget.
Empty states have also been added to guide and support the leaders understanding when there are no academic reporting years OR there is no data within the academic year.

This provides leaders and administrators with the ability to monitor learning assessments related to past or upcoming years in the Learning Assessments in the Academic Year widget.
