Comparing Assessment Plan Data Across Cycles

Comparative Reporting in Plans

While Assessment Plans can only be connected to a single Reporting Year, it is possible to produce Comparative Reports that aggregate data from multiple Plans, allowing for up to 5 Reporting Years to be compared side-by-side.  

These reports will include:

• An Overview displaying total counts of Organizations included the Plan, Outcome being Assessed, Measures that have been created, Conclusions drawn, and Actions being tracked. The Overview will also display a sum total of dollars required across all Budget Requests.
•  The total number of Organizations that have Not Started data entry, are In Progress, or have Submitted, per Plan
• Alignment to the Institutional Outcomes
• Percentage of Outcomes that are Met/Not Met/Unspecified per Plan
• Percentage of Measures that are Met/Not Met/Unspecified per Plan
• Percentage of Measures that are Direct/Indirect/Unspecified per Plan
• Action Progress per Plan
• Most Reported Action Type per Plan

3. Once in the plan, select the "Insights" tab at top-center of the screen
