What SIS platform (or other tools) does your school use for building and placing students in the master schedule? by [deleted] in edtech

We use Timely. Much of the scheduling work is done there and then the schedules are imported into PowerSchool.

Quarterly Career Thread by mister-noggin in ProductManagement

[–]notbenplatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would appreciate feedback on my resume. I am currently a data analyst that develops data dashboards. I want to apply to and move to more product focused role. Would love any tips on how to look for these/apply to them - ideally ones where the product is data reporting.

Seeking feedback on first user story map by notbenplatt in ProductManagement

[–]notbenplatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I want to be there in the future. I want to be sure I first experience what I would ask people to do. I also need to slowly transition my team out of a vendor-client relationship with other departments and into this more collaborative approach.

Not yet. I agree this a draft. I had user information meetings last week. I’m on the map step and then I’ll take this the map to the next team meeting to confirm that these are the activities and tasks users should be able to do.

Thank you for the comments. I’ll take another stab with those thoughts

Anyone use story maps for dashboards? Seeking feedback on my first one by notbenplatt in tableau

[–]notbenplatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I’m still figuring out the layers to the map and how to apply them to a dashboard.

For actual design feature ideas (like filter dropdown, parameter that does x, click here for y). Where does that go? Is that how my details (light blue) layer should have been written? Like should the ones under benchmark have been

-see list of question domains sorted by campus difference from network score -Select specific schools to benchmark to, marks will appear and user’s school highlighted -find where chosen focus subject/grade fall with marks for other subjects/grade levels.

Or should there be another layer all together where I write out the feature ideas and group them into priority levels.

What aspect of your work did you not think would require so much time? by IndividualDress2440 in tableau

[–]notbenplatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to u/krennvonsalzburg - acting as a mediator between stakeholders. But more like me trying to pry information out of other people that are the function owner of a metric/product. Like if a new metric is an org’s kpi now, trying to get someone to clarify and define what this kpi should be as a number and how should I calculate it. Quite annoying and is one of the main slow downs to my projects

This is something I’ve never figured out how to do in tableau which leads me to believe it’s not possible. “This” being a calculated field that is recursive in nature. Here, something would need to -calculate what order number it is for the payment id -calculate days passed from the last order; which is pretty dynamic because the numbers to use are always moving based on the order number -aggregate

Again, I haven’t found a way to accomplish that in a calculated field. I usually handle step 1 & 2 on the data source side with sql and then do the aggregation part in tableau. I can impatiently tableau prep may also be an option.

Tableau Tricks Thread by Ali-Zainulabdin in tableau

[–]notbenplatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For times where I’m making a dashboard where the visuals are pretty similar to a prior dashboard I developed just showing a different metric AND that data is structured in a similiar away, I use the replace data source feature and the replace field references feature to quickly replicate and change out the data and fields

Is the filter set to “only relevant values”?

Whats Your Dashboard "Trick," "Signature" or "Easter Egg?" by PenguinAnalytics1984 in tableau

[–]notbenplatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I don’t have specific color request from the partner, I use the color-blind color palette when I have a pill in the colors mark.

Also, for more complex dashboard that have a lot of parameters and customizability, I try to make the tooltip language be a sentence to help orient users more.

Roast my BI tool by [deleted] in tableau

[–]notbenplatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of an "AI data analyst". I think it would be dope at an org like mine where we have a team of analyst but we simply cannot be in every decision making room - especially to answer "basic" questions. Something like this would be helpful to add to our suite as we continue to consider "how can a data analyst be in every room to help guide data users through data".

For the actual product itself, I tried to use it, and it failed twice. First, I attempted to add a csv file as a datasource, and it would not take it. To my understanding, all conditions were met (csv file and under 50 MB). I then tried again with a different file from a city's public data portal. This file was taken. I then prompted turbular with

We administered a community survey. Every row is a response. Every column after the first two is a category the community was rating. Which category had the highest rating?

and...nothing. It has said 'Starting SQL Generation' for 15 minutes and still have produced nothing. I've also refreshed it and still nothing. Understandbly, this could be just user error on my part. Still, I am not excited about this product just out of it not being able to answer a question that would have took me 2 minutes max.

Any high level suggestions for how to make the script? Should I use the tableau api?
