About Argos
What is Argos?
Argos is a reporting tool built on DataBlocks, which are created by developers in Institutional Research. DataBlocks are collections of data aimed at a specific set of data. Multiple reports and dashboards can be built on a single DataBlock. Dashboards are the user interface for a Report and often contain a variety of drop-downs that enable the users to select the specific data components they need to customize their report. For example, you can select a term and a class to view students who are enrolled in that class.
Argos is being used for all student and any other non-Finance or Human Resources reporting.
If you need a report, dashboard or DataBlock created, please create a Help Desk ticket and someone will assist you. There are two new Service requests you can choose within the Help Desk:
