Update the dashboard with new responses and new projects

Update the dashboard by adding the latest responses from existing projects

The dashboard does not automatically pull in new Blue response data, so to ensure that the latest data is included in the dashboard, the administrator must retrieve the data manually.

Retrieve Blue project information

1. Log in to the Blue dashboard as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Prepare - Actions.
3. Click Retrieve in the Retrieve project information section. Retrieve data may take several minutes.
4. Go to Preview and select Generate data.
5. Publish the dashboard.

Update the dashboard by adding more projects to the dashboard

If you are including projects as they are completed, they will need to be added to the Blue dashboard.

Add an additional project to the dashboard

1. Navigate to Prepare - Actions and select Retrieve project information to obtain the most up to date evaluation information from Blue.
2. Navigate to Prepare - Data for analysis.
3. Select one or more projects to include in the dashboard.
4. Navigate to Prepare - Questions.
5. Map the questions from the newly added project(s).
6. Assuming the same questions are being used, they will be automatically mapped to the question groups. If additional question groups are necessary, navigate to Prepare - Question groups.
7. Assuming the same datasources are being used, all demographics will be mapped automatically. If not, map any course or student demographics as necessary.
8. Update any custom time scales to include the time frame of the newly added project (Note: standard time scales are automatically updated).
9. Navigate to Preview - Actions and Generate data to create a preview of the dashboard with the additional projects.
10. Navigate to Publish - Actions and Publish once you are satisfied with the updates to the dashboard.
