Session 8538: The Basics of Developing Effective Information Visualizations - PART 1

Track: Technical & Reporting

Primary Presenter: Primary Presenter: Anna Kourouniotis [Database Analyst II - Duke University]

Description:

The main goal of this presentation is to list and illustrate ways to develop a strong foundation on information visualization that may be used for visual data analysis. The first objective is to provide the audience with the “vocabulary” to describe visualizations. Knowing the vocabulary is the necessary start for attempting to discern which designs are appropriate for answering a given question or solving a problem. Focus will be placed on some of the foundational charts and graphs. The presenter will attempt to answer questions like, what charts are there, which charts are popular, which charts to use - why and when? Recommendations for embedding user-friendly tips and instructions for navigating dashboards will also be made. Please note that the tool the examples and simulations are based on is Tableau, but the principles may be applied across other data visualization applications.

Session 8588: ElasticSearch 101 – What, Where, How and…Why is it needed?

Track: Student Information System (SIS)

Primary Presenter: David J Slater [Programmer/Analyst Level III - Clarkson University]

Description:

ElasticSearch is the tool/process Oracle has delivered to allow searching of objects and information within Peoplesoft. While Elastic search exists within all pillars (HR, FIN, CS) this discussion will focus on the use of ElasticSearch within Campus Solutions (CS). In my experience, ElasticSearch, in CS, was introduced primarily to work in tandem with the Fluid Class and Catalog Search and Enrollment functions. While ElasticSearch can be used for many other functional areas, Class and Catalog searching was the primary delivered purpose. We will look at the following areas of interest related to ElasticSearch without going too deep into any one of the topics:

  • Why set-up ElasticSearch?
  • What is needed to setup ElasticSearch?
  • Where are all the pages that can affect the set-up, testing and administration?
  • How we have used ElasticSearch at Clarkson.
  • Who needs to be involved?
