New PDP Landing Page & More

Welcome to the July quarterly update for your Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) service. As we mentioned in our last PDP Quarterly Update webinar, the National Student Clearinghouse recently released a number of new functionalities that will change how you interact with the PDP.

• New PDP Landing Page
• Updated Chart Settings
• Institutional Dashboards Updates
• Updated Executive Summary Dashboard

New PDP Landing Page

When you first log in to the PDP, you’ll now be brought to a new landing page where you can access your dashboards and submissions, the Student Insights Dashboard, and your accounts and settings.​​​​​​

Updated Chart Settings

Your dimension breakdowns and most filters have been moved into the “Chart Settings” dropdown on every dashboard. Some filters remain with the visualizations. Check out the Using the Dashboards article in the PDP Knowledge Base for a detailed overview of the new chart settings functionality.

Institutional Dashboards Updates

You’ll also notice that all of our institutional dashboards have evolved from displaying four quadrants of visualizations to a scrollable page offering different visualizations. Moving to this scrollable style allows more room on the page for your visualizations — especially when dimension filters are applied.

Updated Executive Summary Dashboard

Finally, we’ve updated the Executive Summary Dashboard to reduce visual clutter and allow for a quicker snapshot of some of the most relevant KPIs. The dashboard has been divided into five tabs: Synopsis, First Year Enrollment, First Year Progression, Second Year Retention/Persistence, and Outcomes by Year.

You can also now select your cohort year on the Synopsis tab to view your Early Momentum Metrics for different cohorts.
