The real question is whether the number is moving
The dashboard's counts and its trend figures are fetched from separate places. That keeps it clear which number is a total as of now and which describes how things are changing over time. Both are for the institution's administrators, and each request checks that first.
How it is done today
A single number decides nothing. Whether a hundred students this month is good depends entirely on what last month was. When the total and the direction end up in the same tile, neither of them reads clearly.
How it works
- 1
Open the dashboard
Opening the dashboard as an administrator brings up the trend section alongside the tiles carrying the counts.
- 2
Read totals and direction apart
The counts come from one place and the trend figures from another, so the two are not mixed into the same reading.
- 3
Look at the gauges
Gauge figures come through with the trends, showing where a given number sits rather than only what it is.

Frequently asked questions
Do trends and counts come from the same place?
No. The institution's counts and its trend figures are fetched separately, which is what lets the dashboard present them apart.
What period do the trends cover?
The trend and gauge figures are prepared for the dashboard, and the period each one covers is shown on the screen itself.
Who can see these figures?
An institution's administrators. The request is checked at the start to confirm it came from one.
