Reference Materials: Glossaries, metadata, and other useful information when browsing reports on Arts Tableau.
Standard Reports: Self-service reports for Arts units, including analytics on course enrolments, grading, and others. These reports are consistently updated and maintained to include up-to-date data and requested features. See our Data Reporting service offering.
