    Q: Is iStrategy going to be restricted so that a Users is unable to drill down to confidential student data.

    A: Some users will be able to drill down to confidential student data while others will not.

     

    Q: Can my (or any) dashboard load automatically when I start my computer?

    A: A method to launch the IE browser and get you to the point where you can log in is available. After you put in your password to complete the login process your dashboard will load. Even using the password manager associated with your account will not allow you to save the password.

     

    Q: Can external data be loaded into iStrategy?

    A: This is available on a limited basis. Each request for this functionality will need to be reviewed individually.

     

    Q: How many items can I have in my dashboard?

    A: You can choose from the list of available KPIs and you could have every report that is in iStrategy. This would take a considerable amount of time to load so keep it to only the ones that provide you with useful information. The more items you put in your dash board the slower it will respond

    Q: Where does the data live?

    A: The data lives right here on campus on a server in our Network Operation Center.
