Nutrition

University Communications and Marketing and Communications have originally set up dashboards to track various metrics around admissions marketing for GSAS & Grad Engineering.

Sananda Ghatak is doing the same thing for Nutrition & started building these for Nutrition & Vet in 2023, TUSMGP in 2024, and on 7/12/2024 Fletcher requested one.

Tip

The Fletcher request pushed us to recognize that we cannot build each of these databases as a one-off, but that they are all part of a greater “complex project” of Enrollment Analytics. The dashboard itself is a deliverable; there are multiple deliverables within this project, they cross many units within Tufts, and there is a continuous feedback loop as we refine the process for this individual deliverable, but also revisit previous deliverables for Nutrition and Vet.

Matt Girard set up the connection between Slate and Denodo in September, 2023 for Nutrition; he even wrote a guide: https://tufts.box.com/s/pyt4crtp6xq2d0gyrqedr6i7yxntqfxq

...

Matt Girard has access via a direct permissions on the queries themselves.

...

“when you get a chance, can you please send along an excel file that has a description of each query (with the URL to the query in Slate), along with descriptions for each of the fields in the queries?”

...

https://tufts.box.com/s/lz9rm1y05ycab0op5d6k9igvg78yi27l

This file contains the links to access the queries, the field descriptions, and the tokens for Vet, since they were created at the same time as the spreadsheet.

...

Updating the queries:

As data shifts and new and different fields are required, the queries in Slate just need to be updated, and the Denodo manager(s) informed, so they can update their processes.

For any updates, send a ticket to bi-service@tufts.edu (which creates a Service-now ticket)
