The University of West Georgia Reporting Team provides reports and data extractions to support reporting and data analytics by campus departments. This is done through custom Banner reports, Argos data blocks, and Argos charts and reports.
We have developed and support over 1,000 custom Banner reports. Banner reports are being converted and replaced by Argos data blocks.
Argos is a self-service reporting application used to simplify data retrieval from our institutional databases. Reporting data is extracted from Banner and other applications and organized into blocks of data or “data blocks” from which customized reports can be generated. The major difference between Banner reports and Argos data blocks is data blocks provide the user the ability to create their own charts and reports from the data and perform their own customizations. These customizations can be done by exporting the data to CSV and using Microsoft Excel, Tableau, Business Objects or and data visualization tool the user chooses to deploy.
To request or modify Argos datablocks, manage Argos accounts, or ask further questions, visit our Argos Self Service Request form here.
Within Argos are also tools and capabilities for end users to create their own customized charts and reports. A couple days of formal training is required for an end user to become an “Argos Report Writer.” Additional training beyond “Report Writing” is required for the user to be able to develop dashboards or even new data blocks within Argos.
