Research & Analysis Resources for Faculty

DU Data Insights (Executive Dashboard)

DU Data Insights is a reporting portal that presents reports from various reporting tools on the same form. It is the replacement for the Executive Dashboard. All reports that were previously accessed through the Executive Dashboard or Tableau can be accessed through DU Data Insights. As an added feature, we have included basic documentation for Banner reports within DU Data Insights. While the Banner reports cannot be accessed directly from this reporting portal, the search feature will now show the majority of institutional reports.
