Creating a Dashboard Indicators

A Customizable Template for a
Dashboard Indicators Web Page

One of the functions of an IR office is communicating
information such as institutional performance
indicators (i.e., graduation rates, SAT scores). One
widely used example of presenting institutional
information is the annual Fact book. However,
performance indicators are more concise and targeted.
In fact, some states require performance reporting for
all public institutions. One of the most concise ways
of presenting summary information on performance is
by using a web page that resembles a dashboard.
Like an auto’s dashboard, features such as color,
directionality and buttons convey information to the
user at a glance.

Although an IR office may not generate the data behind all of
the performance indicators or even make the choice of
indicators, they are frequently asked to organize and present
the information on the indicators’ status. The process of
creating a web page for dashboard indicators can be complex
and time-consuming. The initial steps of identifying which
indicators to include and how to organize them can be
daunting. However, once the administrators have identified a
few performance indicators, the web page created by this
template can be started and easily modified and expanded as
indicators are changed or added. Participants will be shown
how using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can simplify
creation, modification and maintenance of the web page.
