Dashboard Enhancements & More

Welcome to the second part of your March quarterly update for your Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) service. We’re introducing so many improvements to PDP this month that one update wasn’t enough!


More Consistent & Improved Dashboards

We’ve heard from users that the shifts in PDP’s look and feel can be confusing, including within its different interfaces and dashboards. We continue to work to provide a consistent look and feel, as well as improved functionality, across PDP and are excited to announce another milestone along this journey! As you will see, a new standard for the definitions and visualization guides has been implemented for our benchmarking dashboards. This standard will be incorporated into our other dashboards in the coming months.

Improved Benchmarking Funcionality

Through our approach to consistency, and the new technologies we have leveraged to enable it, we have been able to achieve a highly sought enhancement to our five PDP benchmarking dashboards. You can now combine filtering and new search functionality within any of our five PDP benchmarking dashboards to build your benchmarking group. In addition, better combinations of options are available within PDP’s benchmarking filters. Finally, while the benchmarking group will continue to comprise at least five PDP participating institutions, you can combine the improved filtering functionality along with the new search capability to create it!

The Clearinghouse Website’s New Look

The Clearinghouse kicked off the new year with a new look for our web site, which you can see at studentclearinghouse.org. The PDP user portal is available here, and we suggest you bookmark it.

Thank you.

Your PDP Team
