Overview

The Analytics Indicators can be manually recalculated to update the number and percentage of the students that were above, below, or met the Dashboard Items configuration.  An option to set up a nightly process that will recalculate all totals for the dashboards is also available. 



Configurations  

The Process All Indicators button on the Item Definitions Summary Data page will update ALL Analysis Indicators. The Process Current Indicator button will update only the Analytic Indicator selected and displayed.

Note: It can take a long time to process all indicators, so it is generally recommended to reserve this for the nightly processing rather than during the school day unless there is a specific need.



Once the Indicators are recalculated, summary totals will display. Clicking on the icon next to a summary total will display all students associated in that percentage.

The nightly process to update all indicators is accessible under Aeries Analytics > Configs/Functions > Analytics System Config node on the navigation. As the indicators are updated each night, the system will automatically process all of the Analytic Indicators and determine student qualifications for each indicator. Totals and summaries are generated. This nightly processing allows the system to display information very quickly and efficiently on the dashboards the next day.
