How it works

The process of working with Activity Insight can be broken into three key steps:


1. Customize Activity Insight

Digital Measures helps you determine the specific activity data and reports you need to meet your reporting requirements.

By providing you with a base set of screens and fields other campuses have asked Digital Measures to collect, you begin with a solid starting point to which you can make customizations. Any new screens and fields can easily be added to the base set, giving you complete control over the data maintained within Activity Insight. Even the base set of elements can be changed in any way you like.

Digital Measures also supplies you with a set of base reports that other campuses commonly request. In addition to these base reports, you are able to specify any additional reports you need to run on your faculty and staff's activities.

2. Input Data

Data can be entered in three ways:

  • By your faculty and staff
  • By others on your faculty/staff's behalf
  • Loaded from other databases

Our clients typically use a combination of the above three methods to load data into Activity Insight, and every client chooses how many years of historical data they want to keep within the system. Perhaps graduate students begin by entering historical data for the last several years and then faculty and staff maintain their own information on a going-forward basis. Or perhaps you just desire your faculty and staff only keep track of their information for the current academic year and then on a going-forward basis. The amount of data you bring into Activity Insight is entirely up to you.

3. Generate Reports

Designated administrators generate reports on their faculty and staff's activity data. Faculty generate reports on their own data.

Activity Insight provides you with a wide variety of reporting methods so that you get the exact reports you need from the system. You begin with the base set of reports noted in step number one above. Additional reports or customizations to the base reports can also be specified. Custom ad hoc reports where you specify how the reports are built can also be run at your convenience. Activity Insight can even be connected to your campus website so that current profiles and bios of your faculty are always available.
